littlelunchbox 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. Happy face peddling the same shyte again about Laudrup. Don't let bankruptcy, administration, mass exodus of players get in the way of statistics. Did that happen at Getafe too, like? You'll have to excuse me, I genuinely don't know, as I have a girlfriend. He did well at Getefe. Bless your girlfirend. 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...

Happy Face Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 The question was asked of me who I'd rather stick with Pardew over bringing in from the other premier league clubs. I said I'd be ambivalent about laudrup. He may well get us playing some prettier stuff. But he's not got a track record that puts Pardew in the shade by any means. He's not stayed the course with any of his last 4 clubs either. Anyone scoffing and insisting he'd be a guaranteed long term appointment to bring success to NUFC is talking out their arse because its all rhetorical opinion making.

oldtype Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Pardew is a problem but he's a symptom not the cause. Sacking him might actually do more harm than good at this point, as we'd probably just end up with a) another one of Ashley's acquaintances who's willing to do what the job requires (probably just Joe Kinnear) b) a vaguely competent manager who would be smart enough to eventually realize that he doesn't need to work for complete lunatics, in which case we're back to the old revolving door of sackings and hires until we revert back to a). In a perverse way, as the club is currently constructed Pardew is the perfect manager for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 The football Laudrup plays should be more than enough to want anyone to change imo. I'd sell my granny to have an exciting attacking manager like him. I go to the match to watch NUFC try and beat the other team by as many goals as possible, not to be bored, lose, then come home and console myself with carefully selected statistics.

Optimistic Nut Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Id almost take a relegation to get rid of the liar king.. at least we would be within a shout of getting a competent if average manager. For me pardew is way below average and for all our stars its like giving a 10 year old a pound of beef tenderloin and ask him to cook a dinner. He would only know how to make a pizza the same way Pardew only knows how to play cloggers... he benched tevez and macherano make of that what you will... http://www.abload.de/img/untitled-142kb71.gif killed me for some reason Reminds me of Harry Enfield.

Exactly, if we started games with the mentality of winning and gave it or Our all I'd have no issues in accepting defeat. Its when we go out there with this attitude of stopping the other team playing and show no commitment I get pissed off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They (Swansea) saw their team attempt to a win a domestic trophy and successfully do it, something NUFC haven't attempted for a long while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
