Wullie Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 A lot of fans have gobbled up this stability bullshit; they see the likes of Leeds and Forest and say well at least that isn't us. Aslong as they can see the likes of Rooney and Hazard every year they couldn't give a shit. TBH, I do enjoy the fact that we are no longer thought of as a club that is constantly sacking managers. I don't think this is really such a mental positive to take from the situation. It's a real positive that the club hangs onto staff that are demonstrably not good enough at their job? Not just a "positive" but something you "enjoy"? And some people claim you're not here on the wind up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our recent history, we've been thought of as a club that sacks managers often, and prematurely. Yes, there are a lot of negative aspects to how we're run now. And whether or not you want Pardew sacked is a matter of personal preference. But one positive aspect is that we're now seen as trying to take a longer term view.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I genuinely don't give a fuck if we are known for sacking managers, we'd be better off now as pardew would have been binned That's fine, I'm just pointing out something I see as a positive. What if we did employ a good manager, he had a bad spell, and we sacked him straight away? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley has been more trigger happy than Shepherd ever was. Shepherd may have got rid sooner in a season, but the managers sent packing were always lower in the league than any of the managersd Ashley has sacked. If he's trying to change the perception of the club, then it's the perception he created. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it's impossible to prove with statistics, you can't say what would have happened if someone had or hadn't been sacked. IMO it's a good thing not to be sacking managers all the time.

Happy Face Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 In 25 year we'd probably agree that 2 managers have been "good". I don't think either of them would have succeeded under Ashley like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your argument is that you want to swap a manager for a better manager, then it's kind of impossible to disagree with. But it's sometimes worth talking around the subject a bit, just to make it interesting like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 The league is full of managers having to operate under cost constraints and ply excuses and change the subject in interviews. To go with that PR ability, a lot of such managers also bring a better grasp of setting up a football team than Pardew. When you watch their sides play, you see passing and movement. Players helping each other. Set pieces that work. None of those will cost Mike Ashley any money. We're clearly going nowhere with Pardew. Nearly relegating the eighth most expensive team in the league should have been enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
