Wilson Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I just don't think it's helpful right now. You'd hope the whole staff would have their minds 100% on Sunday. Fair one. But really I don't think it will make a difference either way, the only thing I take from his comments is that he's not too confident of keeping his job, which is pleasing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 We missed out on Remy, therefore we should have moved onto our next target. Very half arsed excuse, even by his standards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hopefully is gearing up for a sacking, you'd think he wouldn't be saying stuff like that if he's trying to stay on Ashley's good side? He said the other day that he'd not spoke to Ashley since the Liverpool result, so I have no doubt that he's just fishing for support. Think he's genuinely worried. MA is one monster of unpredictable manflesh!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 "We had to move for Moussa Sissoko, who probably we may have done at the end of the year if we had got Loic Remy, and he is not a goalscorer. He's a midfield player-cum-number 10. No he isn't, Alan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MA is one monster of unpredictable manflesh!! He's just getting his excuses in early. Ashley's unpredictable. The team has had too many injuries. The Notting Hill Carnival was on the wrong day. All the transfers were done above his head. He'll be able to cry to his mates in the media about how he was badly treated (assuming he gets the sack) and it was all due to elements beyond his control and nothing to do with his inability to coach at the highest levels.

Fiftynotout Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I think you are reading too much into what he said, to me it was just the usual "manager talk" by every manager at the bottom of the league being asked if he was worried about is job (the question being neatly edited from the broadcast to suggest he raised the subject himself, which of course, he wouldn't) - saying his future is not in his hands, but those of the owner / chairman / chief executive. To say he wasn't worried would cause more accusations of ego etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Fuck that...I primary reason is that we lacked Loic Remy? Do me a favour. This had a had a serious pricking in the last hour. http://i.imgur.com/oUpu5xM.png?1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 He has used countless s**** excuses in the past but with this one he has a good point. It depends on whether we would have got Sissoko, Debuchy, Gouffran, Haidara and Yanga Mbiwa as well. In fact, nah. What am I even doing entertaining it!? He's full of absolute shit man. I would sympathise if he actually endeavoured to getting the best out of Cisse's game, or anyone else's for that matter. I agree but we did lose our top goalscorer, he and we thought he was being replaced and he wasn't. That's their fault really, not his. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Every day I read this thread and all the arguments and counter arguments about Pardew and whether or not he should be given more time, more support, more chances or whatever and all are ridiculous! How sane and reasoned people can argue that this man is anything other than a yes man that comes across well in press conferences and satiates the media with interviews and soundbites is beyond me, he has the persona of wanting to be every ones best mate whether it's them in the boardroom, the media or just a normal guy on the street - Pardew wants to be liked. The fact of the matter is that he's completely useless at this level and with this amount of responsibility, despite all the vitriol (a lot of it justified) the Ashley regime has had directed towards them they have managed to assemble a very talented and potentially exciting squad which has had all flair, confidence and coherence drilled out of it by Pardew and his anti-tactics. These players for the most part have been sourced by Carr and his support staff and they have rightly received widespread praise, however think about those that Pardew has signed and Obertan springs to mind, someone that was recommended to him by Manure, because I'm sure they'd want to do us (just a small club from the north east) a favour in giving us a good player, if Pardew had any sense he could see that the lad wasn't cut out for the Premier League. Yes Pardew won both manager awards last season but that was more through default than any other reason and surely more of a reflection of his contemporaries surprise at our performance in the league. We were still abysmal in the cups. Last season we were playing with confidence and getting lucky a lot of the time, winning bred more confidence and this spurred the players on to ride the crest of the wave with the chance of getting into the top 4 going into the last day of the season. I would argue that very little of this was down to Pardew's coaching methods. Despite this success last year there were still glaring signs and examples that Pardew is tactically inept and incapable of putting a team out that can play with any form of identity and style, winning those awards just masked over the cracks. He's never been a good manager and never will be and those that bought into his pally approach and supposed motivational abilities based on last season are finally seeing him for what he is. I've never liked him as a manager or a person and the sooner we are rid of this goon the better. Regardless of whether or not we get relegated this season Pardew must go and we must move forward with a manager that has some tactical nous and the ability to manage a talented squad. Apologies for the length of the post but just had to vent. You know what I hate? Paragraphs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
