Ste Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I understand it from a footballing perspective, but when you add in his illness I think the club could definitely have done the decent thing and let him recover and talk about his future when he came back.

geordiesteve710 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Thing is even this "footballing reasons" explanation leaves me feeling a bit uncomfortable, something just doesn't stack up. For ages he was Pardews favourite, seemed undroppable, and to the frustration of many on here. I get that he had slipped out of the starting line up but to go from Golden Boy to "find a new club" in a matter of months doesn't add up. I'd really hope I'm wrong like because for everything I've said about Pardew, and for all the low expectations I have of him and the club in general at the minute, this still shocks me.

Happy Face Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Footballing reasons is just as disgusting really. Uprooting a man's entire career and his family while he fights cancer... for a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas was definitely on the decline, but he had been one of the first names on the team sheet under Pardew and had always given his all on the pitch (again, the quality may not have been there anymore, but his work rate cannot be questioned imo). Then to come out and say he was shipped out for "footballing reasons" when he was fighting cancer is just disgraceful beyond belief. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The financial reasons are understandable taken out of context but a modicum of empathy should have been forefront to any decision made. A persons life and indeed state of mind should take presidence in any life threatening situation. Heartless decision to wipe their hands of him.

Ste Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 So much wrong from Redknapp in that interview. If I were a Prem manager, I'd want to know the ins and outs of every other club in the division, no way he can be that fucking ignorant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Quote “The difference is probably because he’s a British owner. “Lots of the foreign owners would look at bringing a foreign manager in because maybe he’s been a better player than Alan Pardew was and they played in Italy or Spain. “But Ashley has stuck by him, and no matter what abuse he gets, he doesn’t care, does he? “That’s why he’s such a clever man – you don’t become that wealthy if you’re not a clever man.” Breathtaking stupidity.
