Crystal Palace manager

It's a strange phenomenon, distrust of people from other parts of the country which manifests itself as talking complete shit seems to be something subconscious, which is why seemingly intelligent people fall prey to it too.

 

 

For example, on the most recent episode of the Football Ramble they were discussing Pardew and Luke Moore (who is intelligent, knows his football and has a keen sense of irony) responded to the facts (Pete read out the table of facts that Happy Face was posting on here, about overall league position, goals scored etc in the time Pardew's been here) by saying 'yeah, I think ultimately though it just comes down to the fact that he's a bit of a knob and you geordies don't like him'. If even he is resorting to it, there's no hope for the likes of Merson.

 

Don't let it wind you up lads, he'll show his true colours at Palace, he'll waste money and Ashley won't be there to bail him out again.

 

It's harder when it comes to our own fans though, makes me feel really isolated from the majority and I don't like it.

Well, a lot happened this last week; great comeback and win but then Alan Pardew doesn’t turn up for the after match press conference.

 

John Carver stated that he was asked, last minute, by Pardew to take over the duties and my first thought was that he may have been desperate for the bog, but, over the last few days we have seen that that was not the case.  Pardew may very well have gone to the netty, but that wasn’t the main issue.

 

ayoze perezAside from not signing anything for the public to see yet, Alan Pardew is no longer at Newcastle United.

 

I was prepared to give him a chance when he first came, whereas many ‘fans’ disliked him for numerous reasons: being a cockney; being a cockney; and mainly, for being a cockney.

Following consolidation and the sale of our main striker, Andy Carroll, Pardew got us up to 5th the following season and we found ourselves in Europe.  Some say it was luck, for whatever reason they want to believe, but I for one enjoyed a great season.

 

We had some great matches to follow, especially wins against Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool and a fabulous comeback draw against Arsenal.  Pardew won Manager of the Season and has recently won Manager of the Month again.

 

It’s not all been plain sailing, though, far from it, and many have thrown statistics to prove various points.  The main statistics being many losses and, most especially, very bad form in the second half of last season.  The bigger picture is mostly ignored though.

 

Players have been sold from under Pardew’s rug and not been replaced.  We’ve never really replaced Demba Ba and Cisse has had injuries and some poor form to contend with.  The player that he built the whole team around, Yohan Cabaye, was sold to PSG and has not really been replaced.  It was hoped that Cabella would fill that role, but he’s yet to find his feet, the ball or the net, only showing a small glimmer of what may be.

 

We played some great passing football, with pace, when we finished 5th, but Ashley refused to build on that, despite more matches in Europe making the season ahead much harder and the pleas for reinforcements and another striker, central midfielder etc. etc. fell on deaf ears.  This refusal to part with any cash, plus injuries, meant that we struggled in that season.  Anyone would have struggled and we’re not the only team to fall foul of reaching the Europa League without the resources of the big boys.

 

Last season, we relied on a loan striker who didn’t want to be here and the team was built around Cabaye. We were bound to struggle when he left.  Pardew kept his mouth shut and didn’t publicly call Ashley.  He was slagged off for it, but how many managers do you see calling or denouncing their chairmen/owners and actually keeping their jobs?

 

Ashley was obviously calling the shots when it came to cup games, telling Pardew that consolidation in the league and a better form of income, from not getting relegated, was the way to go.  His hands have been tied.  Some fans slag off his tactics or lack of them, but Pardew is seen by his peers as a top coach.

 

I was embarrassed to see some of the personal vitriol that was thrown at Pardew in the last year.  It was from a minority of fans, but a very vocal minority.  Any show of support for him or the team led to trolling and personal remarks made to whoever supported the team at these times.  Dark days and the press had a field day with it.  They always do.

 

This has to be a major reason for him wanting to go.  Who wouldn’t.  He’s kept his head held high throughout it all and the team showed support and we had some great wins as a result.  I reckon that the great form of Ayoze Perez is, partially, a reason for Pardew leaving now.

 

We all know how it works.  We’ve craved a striker for ages now and Ashley will be saying that he’s not giving anymore cash for a striker, when we have Perez.  Cue Pardew tearing his hair out.  Add to that the probable scenario of being told that Sissoko is available for sale, with no replacement, as De Jong will be due back soon.  Final straw?  It would have been for many managers and I think he’s had enough.  The fact that he’s played for Palace and is revered in comparison to how he is regarded up here, his family live down that way and he’s supposedly going to have his wages doubled, are more reasons for him to think that he’d be daft not to leave.

 

ayoze perezNext, is the question of who comes in to replace him.  Many have been mentioned.  I reckon Carver will be given the job, to continue with everything that’s already in place, not have to pay a new manager top dollar, or pay compensation to a club if any idiot decides that he’d like the challenge of coming here.  Business same as usual!

 

I hope Ashley disappears to Rangers and leaves us to start afresh, but I hope he doesn’t appoint Kinnear or Sherwood, McCoist etc., who have no Premier League pedigree.  We are a laughing stock once again and he doesn’t care.  We do though!

 

The likes of Mourinho and Pellegrini constantly go on about how great they are, but I reckon my guinea pigs could do a similar job at their respective clubs, with the money they have to spend.  I’d have more respect for their type if they came here and actually turned the club around with the same resources that Pardew has had to work with.  Of course, they won’t and will continue to tell the world that they are hard done by.

 

Best wishes to all Mags across the globe and here’s to a brighter black ‘n’ white future.  We can only dream…..again

 

Ugh, hate it when shit is so bad I have to retort to it.

Talk sport usual tripe. Mickey Gray being objective as per. Wanting Geordies. Demanding top 4. Such lazy horseshit. Nobody picks up on the fact he wasn't brought in on footballing merit from much lower league and then moves to a smaller club. You'd think he was scolari going to the dog and duck by the way they are skewing it.

The fact of the matter is that Carr has made him. His signings were the only thing stopping us from being relegated under him. Palace will soon find out why we don't like him when he buys Crouch to sit up at the top with ball being lumped up to him, Bent or Defoe on the wing, Scott Parker running around like a headless chicken.

Pardew out – Be careful what you wish for

 

18 hours ago by Richard Birs

Well there will be dancing in the streets for the Pardew out brigade?

 

But beware of what you wish for, who are you going to get that’s better than what you had?

 

pardew outDe Boer, Benitez, or even Jose? Dream on.

 

You are looking at the desperate list; out of work, no experience, or promote from within.

No one else would want this job – not a decent quality manager.

 

They have seen the crap Pardew put up with, from so called fans.

 

They see his best players sold just as the building process is taking shape.

 

They see investment only when things are desperate, not as a way of improving or strengthening.

 

Then there is Mr A, can you imagine a top manager putting up with his constraints?

 

So guys, good old Joe or Dennis are waiting in the wings, well done, you got him out and as we hurtle towards relegation beware of what you wish for.
