Varadi Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Actually, thinking about it aren't Pulis and Pardew good mates? You would think that reduces the chances of him taking over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 This piece of shit has turned us into the worst team in the division, I can't think of a team in the Premiership which is worse than we are. Even taking results out of it our lack of shape and lack of style is enough to turn your stomach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not accurate, there's plenty of brilliant players who have also done well as manager (it's stretching it to say that Pardew's playing career was half decent tbh, in length maybe, nothing else) but what is true though is that there is very little correlation between the two, yet clubs right throughout England still make the mistake of looking at somebody's name and deciding that's enough reason to give someone the manager's job. It's extraordinary really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was shite as a player, famous only for a scrambled Cup Semi winning goal but aside from that he was about as good at playing and managing too as Stevie Wonder would be as a navigator.

Dr Venkman Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 People are still advocating him for stability reasons. What? I don't...whu...why? There's no stability case now, I've argued it before but it's long enough since we sacked a manager now. When was the cut off? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Yes poorly worded I suppose; naturally you can have a good career in coaching, just shows up the likes if the jobs for the boys bell helm we have in stark contrast. What's worse is the fraternal nature of it all. Dicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 The useless sack of shit still blames Europe for last season and uses Swansea as proof that it effects every team in Europe. We had a 24 points drop off and 11 places, Swansea have had a 10 points drop off and 4 league places with 3 games still to go. Fraud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I doubt Mike Ashley will fire Pardew until the Summer (if he decides to fire him at all). If Ashley is worrying about having to pay Pardew off he could just put him on gardening leave. Pardew's contract is supposedly heavily performance weighted. That would presumably mean it would be in Pardew's interest to take a new manager job if it was offered rather than sit collecting his NUFC wage. Pardew “I think it’s important we win one of our last three games to secure a top 10 finish. Teams are chasing us down and that’s the last thing we wanted. A win today would have probably secured it. You have to feel sorry for the NUFC staff who are blameless (the cooks, the grounds keeper, etc.) who won't get their bonus when we slip to 11th in the table. I hope they haven't spent the money already after it looked certain we'd finish in the top 10 back on Boxing Day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
