Ignoring the 4-0 thing completely, how can that NOT be his genuine opinion about the Europa League when he's been blaming it for our shite form and injuries all season?

 

I think he probably is genuinely pleased about not having to deal with the Europa League again. Quite a few managers probably share this opinion, but most are sensible enough not to say anything in public. Many pundits say that it is an unnecessary burden.

 

I don't think it means he will actively try not to qualify in future though, that would be ridiculous.

 

Name those managers then.

 

I've got:

 

Alan Pardew

Harry Redknapp

 

Not sure I can name them specifically, as I said they wouldn't say it in public . A few managers of a club who doesn't have a big enough squad to guarantee success in both competitions probably. Jol? Pulis?

 

Then that's just an opinion from just yourself.  Not from those managers.

Wait... what? Did Pardew just actually said that??!!! What a kind of stupid manager he become! That's the stupidest thing to said from a Football Manager! He should be sack as soon as possible just for that comment... leave alone team poor performance.

If Pardew wants to get some fans back on his side, comments like that are the complete opposite of what he should be saying.

Pardew's not the man for the job, it's simple. Mid season can at least see argument for continuity (Pardew long since deserving of the sack none-the-less imo) but now we need to do what's necessary to avoid a repeat of this season

Who thinks it's a good idea to keep on sacking managers?

 

Who thinks its a good idea to keep a useless manager just so we don't have to keep sacking managers?

 

7 mental munters in another thread do.

I know, as I said I don't have quotes to hand. But I don't think it's unfair to say that managers like that would consider the Europa League an unwanted burden on their squads.

Remember when Keegan got summoned to London for a bollocking for daring to say we couldn't compete with Chelsea? :lol:

 

Just what I was thinking. :lol:

Pretty much flies in the face of any ambition you have as a competitive football club. If if they aren't malicious. Someone who is that crass and unaware of what he is saying shows he has no idea of what he doing and that extends to his coaching. He's another untouchable jobs for the boys types with a sickening level of self-worth.

I agree with him - thank god we've not got Europe next season.

 

It means we can concentrate on our ultimate aim of qualifying for...er...Europe..

Will the 96% of people who said he has to go be calling for his head in the last home game?

 

f***ing well should be. If there is no bvious anti Pardew stuff, then we are as bad as him. Pathetic

 

They'll just sit there in silence I think. I'd be very surprised if people did anything in the ground - unless the result gives them an excuse.

 

Agree.

 

I'm tempted to give the crowd the benefit of the doubt.  I have been amazed not to have heard anti-pardew chants whilst watching home matches but I think the crowd are nervous to voice their disapproval given how that's affected the performances on the pitch the past times we've done it in recent history. 

 

The only thing that might work in his favour is it's the last match of the season and some might just want to get it over with without too much fuss. 

 

If we had been safe before the sunderland and liverpool matches I'm sure the home crowd would have been more hostile.

“I don’t really care if Arsenal win 4-0 if I’m honest – I’m sure Spurs will – but I only care that our fans enjoy themselves."

 

Yeah, I don't mind spending 30 quid to watch us lose 4-0 as long as I enjoy it.  Maybe some of Arsenal's goals will be really fun to watch?
