Guest neesy111 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 "If there was perhaps less pressure on our results, and the effect on the city, it would probably be a better club. But that's what it is, it's never going to change." I fucking hate it when managers peddle this when at the club. We have close to 50,000 fans attending league games, there is going to be much more pressure on results as we have far more active fans ffs. Also don't get this stuff about him being likeable, he's far from it imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 First time I've been in this thread for ages. Just asking. There's no other way to interpret it other than the literal interpretation that's staring you right in the face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Doesn't somebody's sig have the Pardew quote saying the media making up these expectations? A complete contradiction from the dickwad I don't think he said that the expectations are high. He said that the club has a very intimate relationship with the city, and the happiness or unhappiness of its citizens rests more closely on the fortunes of its one club than is the case with other large cities. Hence there's pressure on results, and victory and defeat can produce pronounced mood swings which can affect the players. That's a more subtle point that just saying the supporters are over-optimistic. It seemed to me a fairly honest appraisal of where we're at as a club. In the case of Ashley, and his mistakes brought about by confusion, he was probably too honest. Conflict behind the scenes is just the sort of story that the media are looking for. Running a business and running a football club are not the same thing, and he should have just stuck to that point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, very true and elegantly put. I find it really, really strange when people say he is shit but a likeable character too. What is so likeable about a smarmy, lying average joe? I don't get it.

A better manager would be able to feed off the position the club has in the community, a shit one can't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Wonder if he knows that a television interview on an international weekend was always a recipe for online meltdown. He likes money/the sound of his own voice too much though. Didn't see it but it just reads as more meaningless waffle. More bothered about whether he can have us competing with Liverpool next week.
