Tachikoma Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Ashley's waiting for Pardew to crack, and he thinks he's winning. That has to be the reason Pardle is still here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Moody Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Starting to think Ashley is trying to relegate us on purpose, so he can fuck off while we're in loads of trouble, for a laugh, and that he doesn't give a fuck about the money. Last night on those videos he isn't saying ''right, he's gone, get him in'' he's saying ''lol, the pub, get them in''. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgson got plenty of stick from the ex-Liverpool players when he was their club manager? I'm sure Moyes wasn't immune to criticism from the Man Utd alumni either.

I wish that were true. Even if it was, it would be hopeless. Look at what Pardew has stood through. He wouldn't walk away if he really did need a security team around the dugout in a ring formation.

toontenacity Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Isn't Pardew on a relatively low basic salary, around £500k? So even to pay him off in full it would cost Ashley no more than 3mil. It's absolute peanuts compared to even a slight risk of relegation. I honestly think this is just as much about Ashley wanting to shove two fingers up at the press after the humiliated him midweek Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Not sacking him is inexplicable at this point, using any normal football measure. It's driving me mad trying to think of reasons why Ashley might be keeping him, none of them really make sense. Could be as simple as not being bothered to find someone else, who the fuck knows.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Financially, maybe nothing we do really matters to Ashley. Maybe even going down isn't that expensive to a guy with his immense wealth. He could easily make us fairly successful and it wouldn't effect his wealth or lifestyle in the slightest. It's impossible for me to imagine what his motives are in any of this now. He'll will run us how he wants, maybe we'll go down. It might be it doesn't matter to him either way.

LRD Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I don't think he will go to the extent of gambling on us going down. He needs the worldwide PL audience to advertise his brand, and losing that would hurt him the most. He probably thinks the situation isn't that dire atm, that one or two wins or flukes would pull us out of danger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Dunno, maybe there's some "cheap sacking" clause in AP's contract that allows for reduced compo if the team is performing badly after XXX weeks that's not been triggered yet. I have always thought there's no way they would have given him a 8-year contract unless there were some provisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way is he this stupid to think Pardew can turn anything round now. If the whole crowd turned last week instead of 'backing the team' i dare say he may have acted. It certainly rattled him given the PR drive this week. Baffled as to why he doesnt just end him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
