Kanj Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 What kind of style did RDM have? Always read he was well-liked by his players and played a very offensive style of football... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I don't see anybody who is proven to be good coming to work for JFK. It's an oxymoron. Forget it, it's not going to happen. That's why I think the most likely 'best case' is an unknown foreigner, another Ashley gamble. It's obviously more likely to be a Poyet or Di Matteo, of course, but to me that wouldn't be the best outcome. I'd take your hand off for Poyet or Di Matteo, at least I could regain some hope that we won't be shite by default. What makes you think they'd be 'that' much better than AP though? What have they proven elsewhere to give you that confidence? Edit - and forget about the CL victory for RDM. I had just as much to do with that as he did. Well Chelsea were quite a rugged team under Jose, what did stand out for me about Di Matteo was that they started playing very fluid football when he had them for a while. Other than that i agree he's untested. but no doubt at all in my mind that both he and Poyet would get us playing with better shape and movement than Pardew, just by looking at the teams they've already managed.

Wallace Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I seem to remember that West Brom fans were not impressed with Di Matteo at the end and were pleased he was sacked. And they say he just let the Chelsea players get on with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 What makes people so confident that Ashley would bin Kinnear?

He obviously believes in the deluded old c*** to involve him (twice) in the first place. Nobody else in world football would. Is it really JK's ability he believes in though? Or does he value loyalty over ability? I kind of got the impression that there was a possibility that Mike thought Pards and Dekka were a bit too close, maybe JK is just there because mike thinks he can trust him to be dutiful. That's my hope anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Pardew has been closer to a cup directing a poor team than anyone we've a chance with. This is why he's here.

Gallowgate Toon Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Feels like the pressure is really mounting up. All this talk of him making massive changes sound like a man who's run out of ideas and, as a consequence, patience. It is hard with the mystery in football, perhaps the players just aren't listening to him, hence why we get Jekyll/Hyde performances like Everton and Villa. Problem is, that's even worse than him being tactically crap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
