Kanj Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 How on earth would Pardew have any say in that? I don't know...just doesn't seem likely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo 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. 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. I would love to believe this, as it would mean that we actually did have intentions to make some signings at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly 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? god knows, we can only theorize but its hard to believe in any way shape or form that Pardew ever remotely liked the idea of answering to Kinnear in any respect let alone him being in charge of transfers and at the end of the day Pardew is a football manager, even just to make him look better he wants to finish as high as possible and that was clearly hindered by Kinnears incompetence and Ashley's lack of interest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James 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? Chances are Kinnear will spout such shit on talkSport that it provoke another club statement.

Yorkie Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 If he's been told to go off the back of ST cancellations, it's proof that the fans do actually have some muscle in this whole situation. And that was always going to come in the form of 'bums (not) on seats'. Hope the fanbase cottons-on to that but I doubt the majority will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jtm_92 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I'm being cynical but ashley has crapped it after the season tickets renewals, it must be that because joke was doing his job by doing absolutely nothing. looking at it now ashley has lost money and he has panicked. He keeps losing money and the pressure keeps on him and this nightmare will end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 To be honest being in charge of transfers after January is a forlorn job.
