Stifler Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 If Pardew was behind him going then there is no way he's going, it makes him virtually untouchable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucaAltieri Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Is no one really considering the option that maybe he really did resign (rather than being sacked) because he feels he didn't get the job done? "Judge me on my signings." It's a thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MW Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I feel underwhelmed. The damage has been done IMO. There's no joy in this. The club is washing the shitty sheets after a huge bout of bed-cacking, but the stains are still there. It is not irrepairable. Nothing £20m well spent pounds plus improved (or new) management can sort out. They wouldnt do anything positive willingly. It will just be because he feels he has no choice . We know he has no good intentions. They have taken the enjoyment out of it. The buzz when a goal is scored and hope that it might lead to good times.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I wonder if Ashley was ever stupid enough to believe Joe could do a proper DOF job. I doubt it obviously, but if anything it would be even more worrying than just appointing his mate to do nowt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Judge me on my signings." It's a thought. I don't think he's resigned, the guy was far too up his own ass to be able to critically evaluate himself.

Cronky Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I don't think he was ever given a real job with real power. He was clearly not suited to the diplomatic niceties of negotiating with other clubs, and it looks to me that Ashley really saw him as his personal consultant.

Guest chicken little Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Did Pardew get him out I wonder? I'd understand if, for all the (reasonable) slating his answers have got, Pardew felt like he'd got chucked under the fucking bus in that interview the other day. For all he made an arsehole of himself with his answers, it shouldn't be in his remit to answer on those kinds of things when he's got a Director of Football nominally in charge of transfers. Could this be a precedent: the moment Alan Pardew felt shame? One humiliation too far even for him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSC Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 What is really needed now is a decent detailed statement telling us exactly what has happened, why Joe has resigned, whether he leaves having done a good job or because he fucked up and - most importantly - what direction the club is going in (and who will be dealing with it) with regards to player signings/contracts and the like. Anyone think we have a hope in hell of getting that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was clearly not suited to the diplomatic niceties of negotiating with other clubs, and it looks to me that Ashley really saw him as his personal consultant. I'm pretty sure he really did have the power to sign players, hence us not getting anyone signed once he took over those duties. Even if we're notoriously slow in the transfer market normally, signings did seem to dry up more once he became DoF. It implies to me he really was in charge of all that.
