Alan Pardew

[steve_69]

Are people still seriously discussing whether Ashley would have to pay up the whole contract?!

 

He's one of the UK's shrewdest, most ruthless and most successful businessmen, not a fucking idiot.  There is absolutely no chance, not even the slightest thread of a chance that he's left himself open to that possibility.

 

As alluded to up there ^ the contract length was almost certainly put in place to protect us if another team or even England wanted to poach him.

Whilst he's mates with Llambias and Ashley, I'm getting optimistic that Pardew will go. You don't become a billionnaire by being loyal to mates, you do it by being ruthless. He splashed out in January to stop us being dragged into a relegation battle and look where we are. He'll be pissed off and will have no qualms about sacking him, especially when the players (including Cabaye, his favourite player) have gave up on him. The only question is whether he'll find a replacement on equally low wages, or whether he's willing to pay more to ensure this never happens again.

We're not that fortunate.

Those goals last night man, the gods were smiling on us.

There's going to be a lot of disappointed people come August.

Unfortunately I agree.

I'm starting to think they may keep him and give him a chance to redeem next season. Massive mistake, hope they are ruthless

Watching that Swansea winner with a terrible internet connection was golden.

Oh yes ALAN.

Yup, I think Dave's Christmas call is a good shout. Maybe a little earlier to allow the new man to get his feet under the table in time for the January sales.

[NG32]

We need to go hell for lether at QPR.

[Minhosa]

Yep. Agreed. Even more so by Xmas when he's naffed up another few months by buying ageing turd under the banner of 'experience innit'.

 

 

[Skeletor]

He's already lost the players. The trade mark of his previous reigns is that he ends up pissing off every one within the club. Llambias looked pissed off against Liverpool. Ashley was probably pissed off whilst doing a strip tease in a Las Vegas club.

Yep, I think there is a collective "letes get this club safe" mentality at the moment but I think he has lost the players.  Once the season has finished and we know where we stand,  I think he'll be peddled.

 

I think the club need to move him on and show strong leadership here, to send a message out to the fans that they are serious and mean business.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAGAHAGGAAHGAAGHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA.

 

Please just fuck off Alan. You have no friends and your Swedish wife is bucking her personal trainer.

[Jack Flash]

My new theory is that his wages are high this season based on last years success and would therefor result in a big payoff if sacked. However, his wages will drop significantly in the very near future due to how low we're finishing this season and will result in a far smaller payoff. I hope that's why they're waiting to sack him.

You may think that, but look at how many managers & people in football seemed to rate players like Smith, Butt, etc. even after they'd been demonstrably abysmal for us for years.  Hell, we hired that fuckwit Souness even when he was on the verge of being sacked by Blackburn.

 

Suffice to say, a lot of people in football are absolute idiots who pay far more attention to media friends and clueless pundits than they do to their own eyes.

I think he'll get some games next season. Been a horrible season, hes done poorly & is overly cautious when things arent going well. However cant go with the herd theory that hes now worthless as i believe that he did have a good part to play in us finishing 5th previously & the clear difference between the two seasons has been that his previous system of preperation couldnt happen due to the extra games.

 

Whether the players now believe in him is another issue also as people say. If we can get someone better im all for it.

What a strange caveat 'if we can get someone better'. Wouldn't everyone say that? The point is that it's always a risk, just is the risk worth taking given the calibre of candidate we could attract, i.e. not the best. Would Laudrup be better than Pardew? Answer that and stick your neck out. 'If we can get someone better', i mean, you can apply that to every employee at the club..
