Ronaldo Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 don't think Ashley would sack him just because crowds had dropped to 40k, but I think the cunt would walk if he got dogs abuse every time he stepped out of the dugout. A combination of the two would be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 don't think Ashley would sack him just because crowds had dropped to 40k, but I think the cunt would walk if he got dogs abuse every time he stepped out of the dugout. What about if they dropped to 30k, or 20k? It makes absolutely no sense for us all to say "Ashley's only interested in money" but then whenever the issue is raised of staying away from games, most people say "errr why would he give a shit about that?" This bloke would cross the road to pick up a 5 pence piece. Fear of a mass exodus. That's the main reason Ashley's dipped his hands in his pockets this summer. Pressure needs applying as soon as we start nose diving, which will come quite early because of the glaring gaps in real quality in 2 key areas. Yet another window where not enough has been done, where we're probably worse off compared to last season. Not seen anything in the pre season games to suggest otherwise.

TRon Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 What I find interesting is that Ashley has clearly continued to back Carr's judgement when it comes to signing players over Pardew's. That's why we have signed a whole bunch of hopeful maybes at a low cost and now Pardew will have to show some real coaching ability () to get them to work as a team. But hey, Pochettino did it at Southampton, maybe Pardew's also got the Midas touch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bert Shaft Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 They are both awful, simple as they are the aids of football. And the real tragedy is that these two arseholes are regularly the top 2 English managers in the Premier League That's because they are the only two English managers isn't it? Apologies, I thought Steve Bruce and 'arry were English. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godot Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I don't know what people expect from Pardew? Ignoring his off the pitch antics, he hasn't actually done that bad a job really 11/12: 5th place out of nowhere 12/13: Europa League QFs with a thin squad picking up countless injuries 13/14: Top 10 finish last season while having his best player Cabaye sold and not replaced But that doesn't go down well because the reality of NUFC not having the resources to compete is so depressing. If you want to blame someone, blame Ashley for not freeing up more funds. Blame Kinnear for being useless. Blame the marketing team for not being able to secure more lucrative sponsorships to compete with the big boys. Pardew, while not perfect, has done what is expected of him in my eyes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theregulars Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 He's right, you know. We should count our blessings that we can compete with Stoke, Southampton and Swansea. Given the extremely difficult circumstances he's under, Pardew has held the line magnificently. It's a wonder no club from a sovereign state has come in for him - indeed, at the time of Van Gaal's appointment, I though they missed a trick by seemingly overlooking our very own Midas.

Wullie Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Reading through his previous posts, given how obsessed he is with the mackems, you'd think he'd not be too keen on the man who keeps allowing them to fist us twice a year. But then he also had some very harsh and consistent words about Wearside Jack, until NUFC gave him a contract of course. One of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Memories are short for some people.

Or be forced to sit through 24 hours of him pronouncing HBA's name "Hattam" on loop. "Hattam, Hattam, Hattam, Hattam". Except on the loop of every hour, "That one was for Mike" will be played. "Hattam". What a bellcheese. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AY Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I hate the playing style and hate the fact he plays players out of position and the treatment of Mapou/Hatem. Still, if you look at the funds made available for him by Mike it is ridicilous to say he has done badly in terms of league positions. Excluding the 12-13 season. We are at the moment club who should be between 6th-10th at the end of the season. And yes, I think we lack ambition but we are behind Arsenal, Mancsx2, Chelsea, City, Liverpool and Everton at the moment and I think no one can deny that.
