Alan Pardew

[STM]

Most managers could do a better job, with a worse squad. Infact they have.

[Mick]

 

 

Yes he does - he went to see a specialist & has been playing through it.

 

This season has seen Gouffran play in the centre for Bordeaux but before that he's been on the wing - like he was when he came to SJP. Ba wasn't properly replaced - a 20+ goal a season striker.

 

Worst run in our history? No not at all but I suppose the hysterical fannies on here might want to believe it. Spoiled rotten off 5th tbh.

 

What does that even mean?

[Darth Crooks]

The fear of a poorer replacement argument is mental. That will only ever be evident in hindsight whereas with Pardew we know his previous. Better the devil you know it ain't.

[Happy Face]

So what's the solution then HF? Presumably to sell all the players and buy a new squad for Pardew?

 

No reason to sell particularly many, but aye, buy players for the first team (striker and CB mainly), January window was good.  Just need them players to settle, our internationals to get a summer off after 2 years without a break which has strained them.

 

Eh, you said before they're mainly relegation fodder.

 

So sign a striker and a CB, and where do you think Pardew will have them finish? And presumably the football will be positive and attacking?

 

Mid -table at best.

 

We're a poorly run club from the top.  Ashley has a yes man in charge of team affairs.  Someone who won't be critical of him.  Who will take the players he's given and never question it.

 

It's that sort of thing that players lament once they see how it goes.  Players bust a gut to finish in the top 5.  They secure a massive tv cash windfall......and then they see a summer investment of £2m.  that's more disheartening than anything Pardew can do.

 

I don't think the players in 2009 or 2013 are relegation fodder, but both of them have seen players tire of the lack of ambition at the top and look less and less interested on playing for the club...or the manager, no matter who he may be.

 

Part of that ambition is the manager, who you have shown you're fully behind.

 

Oh no sorry, you say he isn't good enough but don't want him replaced with a better one.

 

Almost there.

 

I'd have him replaced with a better manager tomorrow.  Only an idiot wouldn't.

 

I don't buy that Pardew is the worst manager that Ashley could appoint though.  Based on several previous appointments he is the very best.

 

 

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

It took us well over two years of Pardew's tenure to win any league match after falling behind. Against QPR we finally did it away from home too, in his 49th away game. What are the reasons for these milestones taking so long to be achieved?

Didn't you just say that some would take Redknapp over Pardew. Are you suggesting that Pardew is a better manager than Redknapp?

[Darth Crooks]

Hysterical fannies spoilt rotten off 5th? We have survived by the skin of the skin of our teeth man with one worst goals conceded stats in the league and a manager that is thankful we aren't in European competitions. Great Expectations indeed.

[Wullie]

 

 

No reason to sell particularly many, but aye, buy players for the first team (striker and CB mainly), January window was good.  Just need them players to settle, our internationals to get a summer off after 2 years without a break which has strained them.

 

It's really unfair isn't it?  We must be the only team in the league with internationals in our squad.

 

We're probably the only team in the league with two senior strikers. One playing through injury the other injured.

 

Eh?

 

 

Cisse - fractured rib.

 

Ameobi - s****/injured.

 

 

Pretty pathetic.

 

Cisse doesn't have a fractured rib, and I'm fairly sure Gouffran is a striker.

 

We had two of Europe's most coveted strikers between August to January, and went on the worst run of form in the club's history.

 

Yes he does - he went to see a specialist & has been playing through it.

 

This season has seen Gouffran play in the centre for Bordeaux but before that he's been on the wing - like he was when he came to SJP. Ba wasn't properly replaced - a 20+ goal a season striker.

 

Worst run in our history? No not at all but I suppose the hysterical fannies on here might want to believe it. Spoiled rotten off 5th tbh.

 

Yes, 7 points from 36 was at least one of the worst runs of form in our history, so was going until January without an away win.

 

Hysterical fannies when we were one game off relegation.

 

You think Pardew's doing a good job then? What's he doing so well for you? He says Cisse has no rib injury btw.

[Wullie]

I don't think Pardew is doing a good job, neither is the regime, neither are the players. Half the league has been close to relegation this past couple of games but it just takes a bit of perspective.

 

I have zero faith in Ashley to appoint someone better - it'll be another one of his mates and as I said earlier in the thread and got scoffed at for - Ashley & Derek aren't going to sack one of their mates. If you invest fuck all & pick up the bargains you're going to be inconsistent - that's just the way it is.

 

A proper summer window or a replacement for Demba in january and nobody would be talking about relegation. Our squad was barely fit for the domestic season never mind europe on top.

'Arry who's only won 4 out of 25 at QPR despite spending more than us in January?

 

Yeah, I wouldn't consider that better.

So if we'd kept Demba, we wouldn't be talking about relegation? How do you explain the form up to that point?

[Darth Crooks]

I have enough faith in humanity to beleive there can't be many WUM's out there bar the ones who get paid like Adrian Durham. Otherwise they are sad individuals who need more fulfillment in their lives. Not pointing fingers btw just don't understand the mentality. I believe there are some who genuinely content to stick with him; which I equally don't fathom.
