Ronaldo Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 It's his personality that'll always hold him back as a manager. I don't know too many people who could drastically change at that point in life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Fair enough, you can be a nice guy manager but you must be at least competant tactically. Hughton doesnt even have that. Would go for a drink with him though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I wouldn't say they have improved their forward line massively. Like I mentioned last week, can only be Hughton's fault. A fair amount has been spent on Becchio, Hooper, van Wolfswinkel & Elmander. Do we know that they were Hughton's choices? Not many boards these days allow the manager to spend big money, especially those who have been sacked from two previous skinflint clubs like Newcastle and Birmingham.

I'll pretend you haven't spent the last 18 months (rightly, mostly) accusing Pardew of not getting the best out of each player in the squad while failing to answer the same question. For a start, I'd stop trying to contain even the poorest sides first and grab the odd goal second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while I can't say with 100% certainty that there is no DOF or board doing the buying at Norwich, I've never seen any evidence to suggest that its the case.

Ronaldo Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I'd have at least 15 PL bosses in before Pardew. Means nowt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpet Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Unbelievable how much Mel's stock has fallen. From being an outsider for the Madrid job in summer, to becoming a laughing stock in PL in space of a year. Spanish Ian Holloway so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I'd have him ahead of Pardew. Definitely. He's a good manager IMO, and I still reckon WBA have a reasonable chance of staying up. Next 4 games are critical for them. There are problems behind the scenes there, though, and I think Mel has made a mistake pandering to the players who want to play the type of football which saw Clarke sacked in the first place. At the time same time, they don't have the pace in their defence to play the high line Mel usually plays, so it's difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
