I really don't watch Newcastle much, so forgive me for not getting it. From what I've read here, and from that Mcclaren interview on his "training", he seems like a terrible coach and his performances at Newcastle and almost getting relegated (Other than the 5th season) bear it out

 

But then he's turned out Palace and made them look like a brilliant side. How is that?

He generally gets the new manager bounce when he goes to new teams, hence why he's done well at Palace so far.

The season we finished 5th was down to a lot of luck. We never had that many key injuries, we had two strikers in the form of their lives and managed to score an amazingly good goal to shot ratio. During that season we were also lucky that teams never managed to punish us as well as they should have done, also a few teams also had bad league seasons.

A big factor that season though was that many of the players had never been trained by Pardew with his crap tactics, the same happened a few years ago where January transfer kept a us up.

 

I guess that's it. So Palace should be crap next season or is he more likely to succeed there? You guys did buy a lot of technical players, which English managers aren't exactly the best at using. His football should work better at Palace if he's in-charge of transfers, surely?

They would be a good bet to stay up next season but it will be a case of good players who play well despite him. In the long run you would have to fear for Crystal Palace, yes Pardew maybe going in for players like Cabaye now but once he runs out of good players who used to work for him then he'll never find anyone good himself. As it's been said, wait until the tide turns, Pardew can change it, he reverts to his usual crap good it long tactics.

Next season with Palace will be classic Pardew peaks and troughs imo but as he'll still have a load of basic cloggers in his squad and the people to make the odd thing happen like Puncheon and whoever then they'll be lower-mid table by the end and not in serious danger most likely.  For them it'll be considered a good season, and rightly so.

 

If he's allowed to add 4-5 of his own players this summer then that assessment may need revising mind :lol:

Aye the Reading result an him subsequently staying is when I knew Ashley would never let him go. I give him credit for rallying well at the beginning of the next season.

 

The Arsenal result wasn't THAT bad. Marveaux & Cisse I think looked very good. Anita looked okay but defensively we where a mess. IIRC we had an injury crisis around that game. There where some positives to take away from that game - although it proved later down the line that Pards had not noticed e.g. Marveaux as #10. It's the Reading result for me which would've seen him go under any decent owner.

A lot of you are covering your arses by saying Palace will finish lower midtable. You don't even have faith in your convictions - you know damn well Pardew could finish 18th or 8th with CPFC. That's my prediction either top half or relegated/sacked.

 

Knowing the jammy bastard he'll pull a Leicester.

:lol: Is this ironic? Some kind of pastiche?

 

Your prediction(s) for Pardew's next season:

 

-Relegation

-Midtable

-Decent escape from relegation.

 

So you're saying that they aren't gonna be top 6. Nice.

I wonder if when TCD signed up to the forum, he decided for himself that he's going to take on this contradictory arsehole persona and post all kinds of shite all day long, or if he is just as annoying in real life as well.

My prediction is they will have an extreme season one way or the other. Records will be broken at Palace this season just not sure if they will be good or bad. At the beginning of September when all the transfers have been complete i'll be better placed to predict which extreme they'll do.

 

Unlike us. I predict if we can get some decent signings we'll coast a consistent midtable finish.

Not really, he was pretty normal at first if you look back at his posts.
