merlin Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 http://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/newcastle/next-permanent-manager Pulis is current favourite if Pardew does leave As if Pulis would walk out on a job for being messed around by the owner and then take a job where Mike Ashley is the owner. I would hate to see Pulis here. The problem is that Ashley couldn't give 2 stuffs what we think about his decisions - however, as Pulis walked out on Palace because they wouldn't agree with his player targets, it is very likely that he wouldn't work for Ashley and Ashley is unlikely to want anyone with their own ideas.

St1pe Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I'm at the point with Pardew that worrying about who we could end up with would be a welcome debate if it meant he was gone. There's a lot of mangers - not great ones mind - that are out of work that I'd rather see in charge of us that Pardew. It's harder trying to think of someone I'd rather not have in favour of Pards.

He's a step down from Pardew for sure I'd take Pulis over Pardew tomorrow based on the fact he's a slightly better human being, however given the circumstances it would be a huge mistake.

KaKa Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I honestly would take anyone other than Pardew right now. Except Allardyce, which won't happen anyway, as MA ditched him once already. Even Pulis would have his advantages, as we wouldn't look so feeble as a team, particularly at the back. Pardew literally has no good points whatsoever. Crap going forward, crap defending, crap in midfield, crap organisation, crap desire, crap, crap ,crap everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Just saw a damning stat on Twitter which highlights his ineptitude - has failed to win 104 out of the 166 games he has been manager. aye, but repackaged that stat reads he's won a massive 62 games as NUFC manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 we have absolutely the wrong set of players for pulis mind, regardless of how well he did in a short spell at palace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Don't think we'll get Pulis anyway, due to him falling out over players at Palace. MA won't want all that and Pulis wouldn't either. The policy of recruiting here won't work for either of them. However if by some miracle it did happen, even with players unsuited to him, we still wouldn't look like we do under Pardew. I am confident of that. Pardew is that useless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Based on the players we have, I'm convinced a foreign manager is the only way to go. There's no chance that the likes of Pulis would be able to get the best out of Anita, Cabella, De Jong etc, who are all suited to playing in positions outside of a rigid 4-4-2.

mrmojorisin75 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 perhaps it's all an elaborate publicity stunt by ashley to get the fans back on his side; stick by pardew beyond the boundaries of common sense, pull the rug out from under him and replace with hugely popular attack-minded manager to rescue us from pardew guesswhowinsagain.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TruToon94 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Pulis is a solid manager who makes an effort to win matches and cups. Never been relegated and does alright at teams which let's be frank are complete shite really. I wouldn't like to see him here BUT if we could get rid of Pardew I'd accept it. Pardew is an abysmal manager at all levels. There are no step downs from him IMO. I'd say your average pub goer has more of a clue than Pardew. It takes a lot to make a squad full of medal winners and internationals appear to be a league one side by jingo he's done it. The sheer quality of player we have/had would make even a half decent manager look good. The fact that Pardew isn't tell you all you need to know. He's a cancer that has destroyed the club and destroyed a lot of the unity of the fanbase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicente_14 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 If he really does only have two/three games to save his job, then it's the beginning of the end, woohoo! Even if by a miracle he won all three games, it's only a matter of time before we start losing again under him, a few wins will merely be a stay of execution. Probably wishful thinking on my part though. Sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 3 games! Annoying we have a ridiculously easy start. Still can't see us beating Southampton, Hull and Palace but chances are we'll fluke a result against one... hopefully it's not just result driven but also performance.

TaylorJ_01 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Makes no sense that they've given him all these players, let him get rid of two, yet are on the verge of sacking him? Either means it's bullshit or he really has zero say on who comes in/goes out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Never really understand these 'X games to save his job' things. What possible difference could three games make to whether he's the right man or not? Over the 3 games I imagine our performance without the "distraction" of Ben Arfa will be scrutinized. I bet any money Pardew justified the loaning out of him, by claiming he was causing a distraction. Also, there will no doubt be some attention paid to how Ben Arfa performs at Hull also. Pardew is dead meat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
