Ryan_Taylor Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Do people think he'll get sacked if we lose our remaining games? Nope. He's untouchable until at least December / January. Yep. If it looks like we might have to spend some actual money again, he'll get the bullet. Yup Surely that'll be the position if he loses 8 games in a row? Why? We'll be 11th at worst. Ashley would be doubly delighted with that. 8 in a row is relegation form though. Surely even Ashley is capable of seeing the danger around the corner, the way we're going now.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 This thread's getting worse every time a new candidate is mentioned. Tomorrow it'll be Nigel Farage or someone and it'll hit an all-time low. Well at least we know whoever it is Ronaldo will be right no matter what.

Robster Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Surely that'll be the position if he loses 8 games in a row? I view it that Ashley will gamble on Pardew being able to repeat this season and do enough in the first half to make us (relatively) safe. If we are not in immediate danger of relegation in Dec/Jan, his position is safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Sherwood is a prick too, but he sets his Spurs side up to score goals and if he did that here he'd be several thousand country miles better than Pardew. We should sign him up quick before some other club with CL ambitions beats us to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Pardew, Pulis, Sherwood. FML What's even more astounding is that people here are actually talking up the likes of Sherwood. Pardew's step twin after Moyes. This nonsense again? You called Moyes a 'very good manager' a few weeks back. Either you're stupid enough to think Pardew deserves that accolade or you've got another mental issue. Moyes was a very good manager for a limited Everton team, but he has always been your man not mine. You have argued his merits and I've said he's Pardew's twin. Now Sherwood has emerged as the lost triplet and you are championing him. No thanks. The TRon way: Promote absolutely ludicrous points of view and when pulled on them simply tell lies.

Chris_R Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 The equation is depressingly simple for me. In the summer, Mike Ashley has to decide: Pardew or Ben Arfa. That really ought to be the single easiest decision that any human being has ever had to make in the history of time. However I am spectacularly confident that, like nearly every football decision he has ever had to make, he'll fuck this one up as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Martin Allen in tomorrow's Daily Mail, Pardew's former assistant and current manager of mid-table Conference outfit Barnet, having been sacked by League One clubs up and down the land says that if Cabaye had stayed and Remy not been injured, Pardew would "once again have been lauded as a top class manager" and would have "challenged the big boys". We "should be very very careful what we wish for". Wise words indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are not in immediate danger of relegation in Dec/Jan, his position is safe. by all accounts though he was on the brink of sacking pardew for last season but gave him another chance (due to ewrup), the second half of this season might wake him up bearing in mind it's conclusive proof that pardew can only succeed if ashley bankrolls him with quality players all the time...fairly confident ashley isn't after a manager like that, let alone one that is also reducing the value of the assets he has already shelled out for on a weekly basis these are the small winnets of hope we have to cling onto at the moment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Pardew trusts one win from the remaining three games, at Arsenal and Liverpool and home to Cardiff, will secure Ashley's pre-season objective. "It would be damaging if we dropped out of the top 10,"he said. "Cardiff's a big game." He's already written off the Arsenal and Liverpool games! My God!

Belfast Mags Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'm struggling to accept that people exactly believe that his job is in danger He's on course to finish just outside his (and the squads) bonus target ffs.

Dr Venkman Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I'd be willing to give Sherwood a go tbh. He's been in a bit of a weird situation in the Spurs job where he was given a very short contract and has been using it as a shop window to try and get himself a new job. Yeah he's come across as a bit of a tit, but we don't really know how he'd get on here other than maybe trying to score some goals. That would be canny, wouldn't it?

David28 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 He'd probably make Ben Arfa "his Adebayor" (making him his main player) and fair enough tbh. I'd give him a go 100%, he's something different to a lot of other managers. Not the best in the league or anything but we're talking about Sherwood or Pardew, aren't we?

Cajun Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I think there would be plenty of other managers who would try to score goals. I know we are in a desperate situation but you don't need to give someone aids to try and cure their cancer. Very bored now of going from shit manager to shit manager, I know we won't be willing to pay another club for their good manager or give a top manager wages that reflect his ability but there must be someone! Every time it comes back to Ketsbaia for me, he seems to fit every criteria. Wish Speed was still alive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit harsh writing him off as 'shit' imo. For me, if he can make a group of players 1% better than the sum of their parts, he's a better bet than Pardew.
