Dokko Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 People over-estimate Pardew's professional pride IMO. I'm not saying he has much, but what little he does have must be damaged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Pardew knows how lucky he is to be manager of us, and not some pub team in Welling. He accept anything to keep his job imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Pardew is just delighted to be in the premiership, he doesn't belong anywhere near it. He'd still work even if Ashley wiped his arse with his face every day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I do feel a tad sympathy if he's been kept out of the loop with all of this, its just outrageously humiliating for him. Not sure how he'll be with it all, wouldn't be at all surprised if he quit. How do we know he's been kept out of the loop? He might be good mates with Kinnear for all we know.

Jack Flash Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Pardy Balboa can't win really. If he walks he's lost the best job he'll ever get and been completely humiliated but if he stays he'll look even more pathetically weak than we ever thought possible. Lovely karma.

Yup, he's got a bigger shyster than himself on his case now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said before, I think the appointment is to make people feel sorry for Pardew to deflect pressure off him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I think he's issued some sort of demands. His philosophy isn't working with the players being brought in. He wanted change and forgot he got the job to be a "yes man". Ashley is probably just getting ready to replace Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillClinton Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Got no sympathy for Pardew, the last time we did a sneaky, pre-planed move like this, he was the beneficiary. He knew what he got into the day he replaced Hughton for BS reasons. They all deserve each other really.. We don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Pardew is probably delighted. His share of the blame for next seasons terrible results isn't as big anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 honestly think this may have saved pardews reputation, good season followed by poor one he can blame on luck then when he gets sacked it'll be kinnears fault, the narrative will be now how unfair it is on him...

Stuy_O Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 It's interesting thinking about that meeting they held earlier. They didn't even mention him in that statement they released. Maybe a fallout over summer recruitment? Kinnear may have been hired as a desperate attempt to make Pardew walk, rather than them having to push him.

TaylorJ_01 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Between Ashley going "play alan smiff", Pardew selecting Shola and Kinnear swearing at everyone I can't see us even getting a team out on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Well if this was indeed a ploy to endear us to Pardew, it's working. I actually feel somewhat bad for the guy. Still a crap manager mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
