loki679 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Are we fuck. Don't get me wrong, I still want him sacked and i've been saying that for a bloody long time. If he's keeping his job though, Ashley will give him til christmas I would think which means he'll have a whole summer transfer window, a whole preseason and half the next season to fuck things up. We'd better hope he has a plan even if it's just for damage limitation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 It´s just so, so sad to everyday come in here and read that Pardew will get more time. I don´t know what to do anymore. He is single handling destroying our club and there are not a fuss about it. It´s just crazy. Big Sam didn´t even get a few months, but this clown... 0-9 in the last two home games, and nothing, nada. The interest in watching the games has dropped dramatically and if he is here next year I don´t know how much I will see. I just hate him, hate to see him. I hate Ashley for not having any ambitions whats so ever with this club other than having good looking numbers in his books. It´s just a so sad, sad time to be a NUFC supporter right now :'( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 All the talk about expectations and success. I just want to have a club that is run properly at all levels. Professionalism and competence is pretty minimal as a request. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Begbie Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I've been waking up for over 6 months now hoping he is gone. I keep telling myself he will be sacked before the january window, he will be sacked after the january window, he will be sacked if we lose the next game, he will be sacked if we go down or if we are safe... now I keep telling me he will get sacked after the Arsenal game.. He is dragging the life out of me as a NUFC Supporter and a football fan, I hope to god he is gone by the end of the season(and im not a religous person) and replaced with a decent manager who is attacking minded.

Cronky Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 The Daily Star article indicates that Pardew wants a bit more flexibility in the transfer policy. The expectation was that investing in youth would cover the gaps in the squad that arise when established first team members are injured or need resting. Trouble is, the general level of the Premiership now makes it difficult for young players to move straight from the reserves without seriously weakening the first team's results. Perhaps Pardew could have been a bit more patient with one or two of our youngsters, but it's a problem that affects most Premiership clubs now. They may now be looking for experienced players to fill out the squad and allow the youngsters to go out on loan to gain experience. What's more, I don't think we should be rigid about not taking on loan signings. Rose at Sunderland and Townsend at QPR show how they can work well. But get used to it, people, Pardew won't be sacked. It would make Ashley and Llambias look pretty stupid if they got rid of him so soon after all the talk of sticking with a manager through good times and bad. If it's a consolation, Pardew may therefore now be in a good position to ask for the flexibility in transfers that's needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Villa have a whole team of boys. The manager simply believes in them. Pardew doesn't believe in youth. You look at a lot of teams now, their managers believe in youth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their first team this season has been littered with youth. They will most likely survive by the skin of their teeth as it turns out. But Lambert sets them out to play a clear and defined brand of football. It may have taken them half a season to start getting results, but it shows that youngsters can do the job if the football is structured. Villa surviving with that first team is a monumental achievement compared to our miserable failure in merely surviving with ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I've lost patience with Pardew's negative tactics but we should accept that the good managers we want probably won't come here and work under Ashley. The manager clearly needs some say in transfers because players should be signed to complement each other and fit into a tactical plan. Not just signed randomly on an individual basis because they offer good value, which appears to be our current policy. Pardew probably looks at his long contract and thinks he's got nothing to lose - if he gets sacked he will enjoy a major payoff a la Souness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I get that most people use football as their escape from the mundane realities of everyday life (the wife, the job, the kids, the realisation that they're now in their thirties and still not headed in any meaningful direction in life, etc.) but when the escapism you crave isn't provided for you by the team you've chosen to support (often the case for many on here) then why not reduce some of the emotional capital you're investing into something that is providing you with negative returns and find something else to take your mind off the those mundane realities? Golf, fishing, reading, cinema, knitting? Alternatively, you could continue to participate in the N-O game of melodramatic one-upmanship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa surviving with that first team is a monumental achievement compared to our miserable failure in merely surviving with ours. Fair point, but Villa are the exception rather than the rule, and like you say, they’ve struggled. I think Lambert is an exceptional manager. I tipped Villa to be this season’s surprise package, based purely on his management ability. I suppose he has got that team to over-achieve, albeit from a different base. He’s shown a lot of nerve and ability, though not having much choice but to rely on youth may ironically have helped. The other striking thing about the Villa experience is that their fans have stuck by the team, and I’m not sure our own supporters would have done the same, given the very recent memories of relegation and Ashley’s unpopularity. Judging from comments on here about Sammy and Ferguson, I have my doubts. The general opinion was to ship them out on loan rather than persist.
