if you think I'm off my rocker, fine ...

 

I don't think Pardew is the complete disaster most of here seem to think. I don't think he'll get us relegated. On the other hand, I don't think due to the previous excellent season that he's a fantastic manager who will get us consistently in the top 6/europe.

 

I don't think he's the biggest problem.

 

Fans and Ashley have different criteria for success. If according to Ashley, the aim is top 10, I think Pardew can get us there next season (if we bring in at least another striker, and have a bit more luck on injuries) - we used all our luck the season we got fifth, and had lots of bad luck last year.

 

Look, I would love to replace Pardew (not personally... well, actually...) but with someone more likely to succeed - and that will cost more. Ashley isn't going to fund it (concretely, I would have loved it if we took Benitez when Chelsea discarded him ...  ), so lets get behind Pardew as the best option available. I was gutted, when Pardew replaced Houghton (was convinced we would go down that season) but so far, its been ...average. So good (some fantastic, the season we finished fifth was one of the most enjoyable for what, a decade?) some mediocre (or worse) - especially the 0-10 of the last three home games  - but I would honestly give him a couple of months this season to see if he can turn it around.

 

 

 

I think if you brought in another striker of the quality we are looking at, You could put JFK or John Carver in the manager's chair and they could achieve the same thing. The players are good enough, the only reason you would fail is gross mis-management.

Our existing players should fairly easily be able to finish top 10 really. Another striker should guarantee it.

 

Maybe if none of them got injured. You know we will likely only see our best 11 out a couple of times.

I don't disagree with this

Luke Edwards suggesting Kinnesr has the power to sack Pardew. No wonder we haven't signed anyone.

 

If he's got the power to sack Pardew he's proving his incompetence as a DOF with every passing day.

do you want JFK as manager? because the moment Pardew is sacked thats whats going to happen

It won't. His gammy ticker would explode within 2 weeks if he did.

Well you dont have to be a genius to understand that this is what the business model is for Ashley. The objective is to keep the squad good enough to stay in the league, not reach for Europe. We got lucky (probably unlucky if you ask Ashley) one season but can't see that happening again in the near future.

Why we haven't sold more players is probably because there hasn't been good enough offers. When an offer like that comes in for Cabaye, Krul or anyone they'll be gone.

 

as with any other team in the league with the exception of the top4, even suarez/bale/ have their price and may leave their respecitive clubs for which theres nothing they can do about it. this gets rolled out far too often, unless your man utd, real madrid or barcelona every one of every teams players has a price

I genuinely don't think the results would differ that much, it might be funnier though. So yeah, for the sake of getting some sort of enjoyment out of a match day, JFK in.

Just as a heads up, nobody is interested in hearing this argument!

Probably because it's bollocks.

No doubt. If it wasn't for Pardew and Kinnear. As true a case of the blind leading the sighted as theres ever been

the more this "transfer window" goes on the more convinced I am Ashley and Kinnear are trying to get Pardew to resign in frustration by not signing anyone

 

Yeap.  Tbf, most managers would had resigned by now.  Pardew is desperate to hang onto this gig as he won't get anything better again such is the luck that got him into the job.

doubt many would resign with 7 years on the contract and when its clear they want rid of him most would wait for the sacking and what must be an exceptionally large payoff
