Guest Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 He was brought in because he's cheap and goes along with what Ashley does. I think the gambling debt thing is rubbish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Wasn't the rumour initially that he owed Llambias money (who is a casino owner), why is he still here? Were Mike and Pards having bets between themselves despite being in an establishment that to be fair to it does a bit of that betting stuff? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 i'm not saying it's a definite, obviously but I'm just highlighting thats it not beyond the realms of possibility. total and utter shit. Laughable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 "Mike, I got carried away. I apologise profusely. I will call in every favour I have and get you your money ASAP. Here is the twenty quid I have in my pocket and the rest will follow as soon as I can possibly get it". "Put your facking money away, Alan - I don't want it. You have a special football managerial talent - I don't care what West Ham, Charlton and Southampton say - and that's what I truly want. Say you'll be mine, Alan. Say you'll be mine". "OK, Mike".

Mattoon Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I don't think it's the main reason he keeps him, but it's not beyond comprehension that it's also a factor, easier to get manager to spin your bullshit for you if you have something over them no? He's doing a sterling job as a bang average manager that's never goin to tear up any trees and dampen expectations to keep supporters in line, that's a main reason to keep him but I believe the debts have some credence too.

But Ashley has all he'll ever need to keep Pardew in line anyway, the fact that he has appointed and could fire him from an absolutely mint job.

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The main reason he keeps him is because he has no ambition to anything beyond what Pardew gives him for minimum wage ( in football terms) and that he doesn't really know any better.

Just how much of a debt has he racked up for Asley to 'have something over' him and force him to do his bidding? SanToon suggests 'several thousand pounds', but considering he's flush enough to drop £160,000 in a week just to get to nuzzle a Tiger, I suspect you might think it's more than that.

Guest bimpy474 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Pardew doesn't owe him money, it just one of those ridiculous rumours that develop and grow. Ashley is a cunt, he hired Llambias also a cunt, Vetere, Wise, Kinnear all cunts. The only decent bloke he hired was KK and he only did that because he was looking back at our best time as a team. He only hired Shearer out of desperation in trying to stay up. And so he hires another cunt in Pardew. It's just that, a cunt owns us and has surrounded himself in people as cuntish as himself.

Cronky Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 My understanding was that Llambias got to know Pardew during his days at West Ham, and was the chief advocate for him getting the job here. I reckon the gambling debt story stems from a photo of Pardew, Llambias and Ashley together at Llambias's casino. Not much to build on, and I can't see Pardew being a heavy gambler anyway.
