Just one word to describe this bastard ..................."Fraud"

What could be? on Remy ..

And all that self pity...

Ocean full of excuses over the course of the season

And right at the End he is still ranting on about himself rather than the club....

Egotistic Bastard, Fuck OFF

Alan Pardew reveals he is hurting about results but doesn't fear the sack

 

 

Having handed Pardew an eight-year contract, Ashley would also be contradicting his own policy of trying to maintain stability.

 

Pardew, who says he is hurt at any suggestion he landed golden handcuffs as manager when he signed the long deal, told the Chronicle: “I never fear for my job.

 

“I don’t think my contract is cast-iron either.

 

“I’m not going to say ‘that doesn’t matter – I’ve got a long contract’.

 

“I’m hurting about performances, I’m hurting about the way we’ve played.

 

"I’m hurting about results – we should have had better results.”

 

Pardew’s side will be the worst ever away performers in the club’s Premier League history should

 

they fail to beat QPR. However, Pardew has tried to claw some positives out of a season of misery for most fans.

“But we haven’t got the points.

 

“For somebody who prides himself on tactical knowledge and the way I assemble teams, that’s been a major disappointment.”

 

Pardew accepted yesterday that Ashley could fire him at the end of the season – even if the Magpies survive.

 

Yet he said it wouldn’t affect his thinking going into the final three matches.

 

He said: “In terms of my confidence, and worrying – no.

 

"The only worry I’ve got is getting this team safe this year.

 

"After the year we’ve had, I’ll treat that as a minor – a little – success.”

Some people seem to think it's a bad time for a new manager to come in for some reason. I'd say it's the perfect time. Pardew has set the bar so low that for an attack minded manager with a team of internationals, it would be impossible (I mean that in a very literal sense) to do a worse job.

 

:thup:

 

Said it before but us getting a decent manager in with this squad and a couple more players in, I would be more excited for the coming season than I have been for a very, very long time.

Some of his comments today are really strange. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but it seems to me it's as if he knows he's gone already.

So assuming we gain safety either tomorrow or on Tuesday do you think he will be gone before the end of the season or do you think he will be gone at the end of the season no matter when/if we gain safety?

I don't know why anyone would want to give him til Xmas. Even if it was worth the risk to see if he could turn it round (which I don't believe it is) its so much harder to find a decent manager midseason if it goes tits up. It would be much more pertinent to get a manager in now and give him a preseason to acclimatise to the club and players and get the squad playing like he wants than to throw him in at the deep end, when given the circumstances to Pardew being sacked we'd need an immediate upturn in results.

 

I just think if we were to sack him at Xmas we'd end up with a rush appointment and back at square one and writing ANOTHER season off to "transition". It makes so much more sense to cut ties now so we can prepare for next season and put this all in our torrid past!

 

I don't think anyone has said that though, have they? I've said a few times that I think that's what the club will do; look at where we are by then before considering any change. It's about half the season (ie a fair crack of the whip) and if we're still around the lower regions of the league with a few of this season's humiliations thrown in then they might put the trigger. Allows for any new manager to make changes in January too.

 

Doesn't mean I 'want to give him until Christmas'.

 

I never said you par se, it's a time frame I've heard people talking about and fans not necessarily on here. The comment wasn't directed at anyone in particular and meant just as much about MA and DL as it was anyone else. I stick by what I said, give him until midseason and we've wasted another season, missed out on any decent managers and are throwing someone in at the deep end.

 

It just makes more sense to do it now, no?

If we are planning on shifting him it needs to be asap, none of this "lets weigh up how the season has gone" bollocks.

 

Get him out and a new manager in straight away, I hope if they are planning to sack him we are already pretty close to confirming the new manager, we were when we sacked Hughton tbf.

 

Win on Sunday, get rid. Let the new manager have the last game and training before it etc.. to get to know the squad a little bit and give him the whole summer to asses what we need to bring in and how best we set up.

I can't really see Ashley wanting to do a review of the season bollocks tbh.  He'll either want rid or will give him a last chance.

Heart says yes, mind says he will stay for next season.  :(

It was probably a Pardew quote I got that idea from so should have been dismissed from my mind instantly tbf :lol:

 

I just hope we do make a decision straight away, unlike some of our player recruitment where we decide we like a player but then seem to spend weeks/months weighing up what they are actually worth.
