Wallsendmag Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I would love to get the chance to ask him what has actually been the point of this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I've no issue with him using our position to experiment with some younger players and different formations. Managers rarely get the chance to do that so we may as well take the opportunity. And missing out on the Europa League is no calamity. Naff competition. There's no such thing as a naff competition when you haven't won shit in like 50 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 The Premier League is a pretty naff competition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Plus we won't experiment with formations or use our fringe players nearly enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I was wondering when the first one to defend him was going to come along........honestly how can anyone really do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 That thing about the cups is extremely dodgy, but I would like to hear the question as well. Hopefully he's just trying to take positives for the remainder of the season. The 'half you of wants to compete for a trophy' is appalling though. You're finally on the turn.

Mattoon Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/sport/football/premierleague/article2290867.ece Caulkin tweeted this link, it's behind the pay wall but you can read the first paragraph, which is pertinent to pretty much this entire thread and Pardew in particular.

Optimistic Nut Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Got further than Rodgers & Laudrup, as far as Villas Boas, and seemingly further than Sherwood in that darn tournament. Pardew in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 @SkySports_Keith: Pardew says he'll try a few things out between now and the rest of the season, perhaps blooding a couple of younger players. Yeah, season's a dead rubber now and if we go full strength we might accidentally end up in the Europa League. Treat every game between now and the end of the season like a cup game. By which I don't mean in the way teams facing relegation claim every game is like a cup final, but just grudgingly turn up and put 11 players on the pitch. Depends on your point of view I suppose, some people have already said we should be trying things out over the remaining games. Chicken and egg, people are saying we might as well try stuff out because Pardew isn't going to use the remaining games to try and qualify for Europe anyway.

"The finances of the club are in good shape. We know we've got to do some work in the summer after losing Cabaye, so you'd like to think we'll have to spend some of that this summer. The board have done well to get those figures, and we look forward to the next stage of our growth. "I haven't really discussed the budget going forward for the summer. We will sit down and talk about that, and that's something for the future. The guy's a complete idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 He's came out with some shit but I'm not sure what he's said wrong there tbh.

Optimistic Nut Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 All he's said though is that the finances are good, we have a lot of work to do in the summer, we should have money to spend, there hasn't been a budget given yet but they'll discuss it.

Dave Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 It's all part of trying to keep fans onside, only he can't even get his own story straight. He's quite clearly complicit with what goes on above him. I don't know how he has the brass neck to even talk about transfers any more. His integrity is non-existent from every angle.

Weezertron Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 He's getting ahead of himself though, like he always does. Spouting shit that he doesn't know will come to fruition.
