Dave Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Surprise. http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20130513/pardew-plans-to-finish-on-a-high_2281670_3177250 As expected I guess. I'm staggered that he didn't think it would be a problem to come out with that, joking or otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I think Ashley knows exactly how shit Pardew is personally and he just sees him as a cheap yes man. Still praying that he realises that he will be financially better off in the long run if he actually pays for a quality replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 think llambias should just come out with a statement as to whether pards is staying or going. if he's staying, we'll have no choice but to give him the benefit of the doubt and back him unless the results prove otherwise.

BrettNUFC Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I wouldn't begrudge him another chance to turn things around after this season. I think all in all he's done a decent job and don't feel the need to instantly sack managers once things turn sour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 If Ashley was happy with midtable obscurity then why did he get rid of Hughton to "take us to the next level"? If anything Pardew has taken us backwards! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 If the team looks a shambles on Sunday, I think we'll see the crowd vent knowing that we are now safe from relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 surprised no one picked up on this little gem from pards over the weekend: "We've had no luck with referees this season yet Wigan get away with murder in the cup final. Their winner came from a corner and one of their own players diverted the ball directly into the net with their head without a City player touching it. It was right in front of the linesman and the ref, yet they both gave the goal. I would be gutted if i was mancini, he's probably lost his job because of that decision."

Dave Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 People are perfectly entitled to their opinion but it'd be nice to hear some reasoning behind why next season would be more like last and less like this. Other than pure chance of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I really dont want to start the season with Pardew in charge. Lets make a fresh start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 He'll be here next season, a. they won't want to get rid because the the stability key factor b. it will cost Ashley a significant amount of money due to his very large contract. I for one will back him if he is here next season, to be honest I'm just chuffed that we'll be playing premiership football. One thing for sure a lot of things need to improve as this season has been dire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than pure chance of course. A fully fit Krul & HBA is worth about 10 points a season alone imo. If he's lucky and they stay fit I'd imagine we'll stumble to around 50 points. Plus I reckon Cisse will get an extra half dozen goals. Nothing of Pardew's doing but players alone will get us around the upper mid-table mark.

Based on performances, tactics, substitutions, team ethos, etc... Not a f***ing chance! We've got knocked out of Europe marginally by the finalists, we are still in a position to finish top half and this has been a disaster. I understand i'm just papering over the major cracks here however i'm just not one to go over board and start calling for his head when i haven't quickly forgotten how he massively over achieved last season leaving him in a position this year with a far greater job on his hands which nobody really expected and in truth we weren't well equipped enough to cope. If he goes and we bring in someone else fair enough, i wouldn't argue against it, but if we stick with him, i hope we go into the summer with a better plan than our previous visits in this window of opportunity.

At best, but the football and mentality will be shambles again. We'll continue to scrap away with the odd goal win here and there, defending leads and never entertain for more than five minutes. I'm almost tearing up just imagining another year of this utter fucking garbage. It's such a pointless waste of talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Everyone’s entitled to their opinion and I would hope that nobody on Newcastle-Online feels like they can’t give theirs but if you’re going to say that you’re “happy” for him to stay then you’ve got to be able to back that up to be taken seriously. Do you think he coaches the team to attack dangerously? Is he able to maintain a well drilled defensive structure? Is he able to do both of the above at the same time? Do you think he keeps the players fit enough? Do you think he sends the players out positively, and with confidence? Do you like his ability to change a game? Do you think he sets the team up well from the start? Do you like the style of football he employs? Does he get the best out of his players? Do you think players have improved significantly under his coaching? If so, which ones? Do you think his tactics are sensible? Does he get the best out of his squad i.e. do you think he’s able to work well when players are injured or suspended? Given that he doesn't have a massive say in who we sign, do you think his football is the right football for the type of players we purchase? Are you excited by the prospect of an NUFC led by Pardew into next season? Personally, I’ve given my opinion on all of these things and more. “He deserves a chance” is not a reason to keep somebody employed in the most important job at a Premier League football club, any more than it is a reason to give me the job, nor is “we might have less injuries”. I want to hear reasons why he is the absolute best available man for the job, and better than any single one of the alternatives, not hear how somebody else might be worse or hear more about how hard done to he is. If I wanted to hear that, I could just listen the man himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
