Alan Pardew


Mike

Recommended Posts

Not entirely, I mean... nobody could really argue if he was fired. I've been saying that for months. I said it last season. Just there are a lot of other important factors that weigh on the other side too. My mood changes like anyone else's, when we get beat by Hull then embarrass ourselves at Goodison it's not nice.

 

I've been hooked!

Alan Pardew insists he retains the backing of Newcastle owner Mike Ashley.

 

Magpies' manager Pardew revealed he met with Ashley and director of football Joe Kinnear immediately after last Monday's defeat to Everton for a debrief.

 

That led to social-media speculation - initially that he resigned, and later in the week that he was about to be sacked.

 

Pardew accepts the pressure is on following two defeats that have the Geordies three points off the relegation places ahead of a difficult set of fixtures including this weekend’s trip to Cardiff, the visit of Liverpool and a derby against Sunderland.

 

They also entertain Manchester City in the Capital One Cup.

 

Pardew said: “It’s the old saying that you can’t keep all the people happy all of the time. Well, I can’t keep any of the people happy any of the time!

 

“Most of that rumour (of his sacking) started on social media, probably by young fans or whoever, and it makes some sort of headway.

 

“The only way you can deal with it, and I’ve been a manager here for nearly three years, is you kind of have to cut yourself off and just focus on the job.

 

“None of that had any foundation, but the bottom line is that, at a big club, you’ve got to win games. Then the speculation stops.

 

“After we won at Villa (in mid-September), there were suggestions that perhaps we should have played with two strikers or that we might have scored more goals.

 

“Some of it is so far removed, you’ve got to cut through it.”

 

Asked about his meeting with Ashley, who sat next to Kinnear at the last two matches, Pardew added: “It was a meeting about going forward, making sure that we know exactly what we think the weaknesses are in the squad.

 

“Mike and Joe wanted to know how they could help. Joe’s an ex-manager, so he needs to know exactly what the issues and problems are, if we have any.

 

“That’s a general chat that most managers have with their owners.

 

“Joe can help with gathering information, so that when we come to January when I say ‘I think we should do this’ [in the winter transfer window], it makes some sort of sense.

 

“I think that’s... a football director at Manchester City, the director at Tottenham, if they’re not getting that information after games, I’d be surprised. I don’t think it’s unique.”

 

Asked if it was helpful having Kinnear, a man tipped as Pardew’s possible replacement, watching, the 52-year-old added: “I think in his role as football director it’s only right that he is at the game. I think you’d be asking questions if he wasn’t.”

 

“Yeah, there’s always scrutiny on managers when you’ve lost two games and you’re at a big club, there’s going to be pressure and social media has added to it.”

 

Pardew is demanding more “consistency” from his players after watching them concede three goals in the first half against Everton, then pull two back after the break.

 

He added: “We can’t have these up and down periods during games, let alone between them.

 

“I have great respect for the players here and we have a good group, but the thing we are striving for everyone else which is consistency.

 

“Once you get to 10 to 12 games, it settles. We were not at our best last season but I hope it will settle down for us.

 

“We have only just started the campaign and one win can take you considerably up the league.”

I think we've been through them, not many people accept them. Stuff like stability, players like him, Ashley might appoint someone worse. I just don't tend to hate him as much as other people. That's an executive summary BTW.

Hard times, patience tested to the hilt, half time on Monday I was drinking into a pint of carling saying sack the cunt in the pub, full time arrived and I'm saying give him 10 games. My biggest worry is still the fear of Kinnear taking over were he to go.

What's that all about?

Seems like he's just grasping at things that people might have said that turned out to be wrong about him.

Lies. Lying about his own fans now. He should be beaten away from SJP with fucking bricks.

You've definitely got a lot more aggressive/assured. Doing a course?

Stability in this case is a yearly relegation fight, the player OBVIOUSLY hate him and Kinnear is better than Pardle.

Cool, as I said, not many people accept them and it's basically pointless going through it again.

He couldn't really sound less convincing here. :lol:

 

He's still blatantly feeling undermined IMO.

Ian, even in France, with just 3 NUFC games showed on tv, pundits are pointing out Pardew tactical limits.

It has to be hard for him to make our setup seem credible like, it's a farce. Imaging reporting to Joe Kinnear FFS.

 

TBH, not sure why he bothers with it. He could easily make it clear he thinks Joe is a dick and I doubt it would swing the balance to a sacking.

They mean nothing. You smell and so does Pardew.

Does one relegation fight allow for it to be labelled a 'yearly' relegation fight?

 

Don't want a bedtime scrap like. Don't hurt me.

Pardew has been a manager longer than 3 years and he's had quite a few relegation fights, it's what he does.
