Guest bimpy474 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Unless he starts winning. Fair point, i would love to have to eat humble pie. The team playing well comes first. But imo we have a League One standard manager in charge and exactly what he'll stay. He's limited in every way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I know, obviously the big question is why he didn't manage to implement the stuff last year. But when he gets a chance to talk I don't buy the fact he's always lying. Big test this season. Imho, he clearly want's to play better football, and more often than not has a fairly logical grasp of our problems. But whether or not he has the wherewithal to solve the puzzle quickly and make it past Christmas I just can't judge as it stands. Last season he failed miserably, but given an easier run with injuries, and more than one decent striker on the books, he's probably got enough about him to produce a decent (and watchable) team. Let's hope the shit with Kinnear hasn't sunk his chances already though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelunchbox Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 The thing is he himself knows what the problem is, but real sad thing is he also know he does not have the skills the capacity or the ability to rectify them problems. Hence all the bullshitting salesman talk, excuses and shower that he comes out with every pre and post game interviews. Because any Tom Dick and Harry can easily point his finger and say "we need to do this and that, that bit is missing and this etc etc.." but to actually have the capability to change and rectify those things are a complete different matter altogether, And that is really what separates a good manager from a shyte one. Sadly pardew falls in the later category. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 A bit of bravado today about still being the boss and being in charge ... yada yada yada. Actually quite annoying, as he comes across a bit full of it. Considering how awful he was last season he really should be ecstatic he's still working. Plonker.

littlelunchbox Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 It's not all that separates them, some managers don't even know what the problems are. that is true them managers do exist, but to have a manager that don't even know the problems and then a manager that can identify the problems but hasn't got the feintest idea or the capacity to solve them.... What's the difference? Both shyte and don't deserve a place in our dugout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing a very clever game, he's getting some sympathy from the media and fans because of JFK. At the same time you know he's smiling inside.

Shush Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'm worried JFK will give him an excuse if we don't do well next season. He could try and argue that any players JFK brings that don't work has not given him what he needs to succeed. While I doubt he would ever say that to the media he can still argue that with Ashley.

huss9 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Something from his interview not mentioned - he specifically said the team were too workmanlike and he needs us to be more flowing. Make of that what you will. Also that we didn't impose our game and focused too much on the opposition. That's his bloody fault. Why didn't he change it last season, he had plenty of time to. Stating the bloody obvious he is. He telling us what we want to hear, what he says is never what you see, just like that ESPN interview Stewart Robson gave about him, Robson was spot on. never heard that. what did robson have to say?

Rich Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Happy to hear his priority areas for strengthening are left-wing and centre-forward, agree with that whole-heartedly and as I've said before we need something like the Bellamy/Robert signings again to really push us on.

Swear he has people scour the internet looking for criticisms and then just says what the fans have been saying all season. He told us what we wanted to hear before. Implementing his (our) ideas is another matter entirely. He can't do it, as he's an average, one dimensional manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 He'll start to regain some credit if he manages to solve the problems rather than just identify them. Any fucking retard could see where we're short, doing something about it is a different matter entirely. He's genuinely lucky he still has the opportunity to manage us imho.

He's genuinely lucky he still has the opportunity to manage us imho. encouraging that he's actually worked what we knew all season, namely we focussed on the opposition too much rather than our own strengths. he's also aware we need a LW and a striker. would have been even worse if he'd been blissfully ignorant. hopefully that's step 1 on the road to recovery. step 2 fixing the problems is the hard bit.

Why would it be extremely doubtful, if that is what he feels we are lacking and what he wants in the team? Because it's not up to him. "It's not up to him who we go after".

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 He didn't say he was in charge of signings, he explained how it works. It's very possible he was exaggerating his own role, true. Anyway, apologies for my tone. I didn't realise such a minor bit of praise would generate this reaction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
