Happy Face Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I wonder why happy face spends so much time defending Pardew? For someone that claims he doesn't like him and think he should had been sacked. Very odd. Because i don't cut off my nose to spite my face. You need to think decisions like that through to their logical conclusion. Would his replacement be an improvement? Would he get money to spend? Would he handle Ben Arfa as well? Would he handle the Kinnear situation as well? etc. I don't see why it's too difficult to answer yes to all of those questions if you hire an intelligent manager who hasn't got a huge reputation yet. Like who, man?! I've seen you post this a few times now. Who is Mike Ashley going to employ? I would get Poyet in, I don't know how many times I have to keep saying it. Would Mike Ashley? How the fuck would I know? Poyet hasn't got an ounce of the self restraint Pardew has shown to keep the club on an even keel. Poyet would be shitting on desks and slating the chairman in no time. Is that a fact? I would have thought the chance to manage a top premier league club and top players would bring some perspective with it as well. I would prefer a manager who had some ambition tbh, rather than a PR merchant like Pardew who will pick up his wages and read from the script. Course its not a fact. You don't know how he'd do any more than I do. I just see him in the di canio mould of cock end. So based on not very much then. Yes he looks a bit arrogant, but he was generally well regarded by Brighton fans from what I saw on their forums, and his side certainly put in a lot more effort and played the better football when we played them twice in the space of a year. Nothing more than you've based him being an improvement on. Pardew had a pretty similar record at Reading to Poyet at Brighton....only better.

Happy Face Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 When did he "slag off" Pardew? Genuinely can't remember it. He had a pop in May that the Europa league was no excuse for dwindling league form. But Laudrup did no better at Getafe. UEFA quarter finals and 14th. It was their worst finish sinnce being promoted back to the Primera Liga. Having not failed to finish top half for years previous. He had similar problems in a relegation battle at Mallorca in his one season there. Finished 1 point clear of relegation with a club who finished 5th the year before he arrived and 8th the next year without him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 For what it's worth Getafe finished 5 points worse off in their European season than they did without it, whilst also making the Copa del Rey final. Not even sure what the point of this is anyway, he's clearly a better manager than Alan Pardew ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd had a year to sort themselves out by that point, maybe? Or maybe not. You'll probably have to ask a Majorca fan instead of raiding wiki.

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I wouldn't be surprised at all if we lose to Leeds and beat Everton tbh. This is a team that enjoys it when a team comes at you when they are all fit and likes space to move into. It struggles when asks to take the initiative and break teams down.

Aye, Everton will play quite open and it'll suit us just as it did with Villa. Just got to hope Everton dont score first and roll us over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
