Foluwashola Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 No-one loves Pardew, that should be abundantly clear. Anyone claiming it should re-read the arguments. It's an unfortunate side effect of last season's awfulness that not being overtly 'anti-Pardew' results in you being labelled a 'WUM' or a 'soopafan'. Coming around to the idea that it's probably best to leave the debate until his inevitable sacking and then we can move onto the next useless daftie.

alexf Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Kaka you need to stop letting people get to you. It's a bit like watching someone being bullied at school or something. They are just trying to get a reaction out of you and every time you do they effectively win Just chill man and ignore it if you don't agree with what they say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I let them get to me at all. If I did I would be f-ing and blinding at them myself. Maybe not even acknowledging them at all, is the best response though, as you have said. However, I feel it's my duty to at least help them see the errors of their juvenile ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 You've just mentioned taking it all as a bit of a laugh and then got immediately offended by something that was quite clearly meant as a joke. Don't be so sensitive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 If Pardew goes I am 99% sure Kinnear will take over. In the unlikely event he doesn't I dread to think who we will get in. Either way I am certain it won't be an ambitious appointment. As bad as Pardew is I think there is more chance of the next manager being worse. I don't. If Ashley really wanted to appoint another poor manager, why would he sack this one? IMO, either we'll do nothing and just limp along with Pardew getting the odd decent result interspersed with a few embarrassing thrashings, or Ashley will realise it's costing more than it's worth to keep hiring incompetents and invest in a proper manager.

Mick Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 This dampening of expectations thing is purely Pardew IMO, and not some sort of remit from above. It's down to his personal disbelief that he can achieve a decent result without spending like Man City. He'll be rabbiting on the same nonsense to everyone else at the club, whether it's Mike Ashley or Joe Kinnear or whoever. It is what he does. It's his way of doing everything in his power to stay in charge and buy himself time in a job he will never be good enough for. I don't think you're massively wrong, his bullshit goes two ways. He's trying to tell everybody that he's doing a good job and it's in his interest if Ashley thinks that he's doing a good job with what he's got. Ashley clearly doesn't think he's doing a good job and that's why he's wrongly brought a dinosaur back in to the club at the cost of his mate Llambias.
