I don't understand this not wanting to pay the compensation bit like, it cannot be true. Surely Ashley is aware that a better manager will finish higher ergo he will cover his losses (and then some) through league finish bonuses.

 

Idiot stubbornness is all it can be at this point. Nothing else covers it. The risk reward ratio for money on keeping him simply isn't there anymore. He will get relegated, so that part is a certainty.

 

Anyone else see this actually getting poisonous beyond belief in the stands? Even the most staunch Pardew backer won't survive five points and a thrashing at home to Sunderland.

I don't really believe it's money either, we all know Pardew isn't on much compared to his peers. I just think either Ashley doesn't believe we will go down, or he thinks it's still early enough in the season for Pardew to make an improvement big enough to get us safe.

We're talking about a man who only owns one shirt.

I've estimated what I think this current shit stain of a manager and this team will get out of those games. To me he'll be lucky to get 16 points. We'll be well routed to the bottom by Christmas and January. There's no way we get out of this with Pardew. Literally not a hope in the world.

Our next 8 fixtures actually aren't that bad either, except Spurs and Liverpool. f***ing tragic we go into every game in this state.

 

Considering the dross this league has, it's not beyond reasonable belief that we would be out of the relegation zone by January. That's probably what Ashley is banking on.

Rob Lee on Talksport soon, fully expect another ex player telling us Pardew truly is the King. Shay Given was on before sticking up for the prick :anguish:

Very possible we will be winless through till the end of November :lol:

And if that happens it will be until the end of December as that is the worst month of the season.

 

Could we do worse then Derby did?, would be some achievement even by Pardew's shit standards. :lol:

The merits of a manager literally don't matter at this point. He's lost the players and the crowd. Even if Pardew wasn't the problem the situation is too far gone. Psychologically it's just damaging for everyone at the club. It'll only get worse the longer it goes on.

They may as well just say "no manager should ever be sacked".

 

Actually ended up with one of those 'What's the point in sacking him' types basically saying that after being argued into a corner about it. Apparently it's entirely the players and owner that dictate how well a team does. Eventually he refused to answer the question of "Can a good manager do better with a bad team than a bad manager?" and repeatedly responded with another question.

Even if Ashley thinks pardew can turn it round I just cant see the majority of fans every accepting him again.

 

He's burnt bridges for me which are irreparable now and just feels like as soon as he loses a game its all going to creep up again, it's not a healthy or normal situation for him or us.

 

He should walk.

I'm not sure about this, if Pardew did turn it around I don't see why most fans wouldn't quiet down again. Obviously he won't, but in theory.
