I don't mind Pardew, never really did to be honest. I always thought the main issue with our club was Ashley and ridding ourselves of someone like Pards (who imo is a pretty mediocre manager) was only a very sideways move - however, just for the amount of disdain we got from Palace fans and the media for "Getting what we wished for" I'd be very happy to see Palace relegated next season with Pardew at the helm.

Had a terrible end of the season. I think before the last match he was only ahead of us and Hull.

 

Wish we could have a terrible end of a season with a win at Anfield :lol:

IN one period he last 4 on the bounce.. let's focus on that. Let's ignore that they've had nothing to play for - for yonks. Let's ignore winning his last 2 including a win at Anfield.

There's a small level of truth to the "careful what you wish for". The Pardew Out campaign was aimed directly at Pardew. It did look at times, as if that was the end game. Just getting him out. And that we assumed Ashley/Charnley would hire a better man which we now know was far from guaranteed. Nearly all our fans knew Ashley was the core problem but many may not have felt its true disgusting nature until Pardew left.

 

Looking back we should have spoken more about what we actually needed/wanted. Someone that plays in the Newcastle way and wants to win trophies. Rather than the "Alan Pardew is horrendous at everything" approach we took. I hate sounding like i'm defending him. He's a charlatan of a man.

I was careful what I wished for, I wished he was out and we got it and i do not regret it, and if we were relegated I'd still stand by that.

 

It's true it should have been ashley out from the start, and yet it did turn some media attention to the fact that pardew was not actually newcastle's greatest manager ever. Some, most pundits still seem to think so.

I totally disagree. Removing Pardew was essential. He was shielding Ashley. Still absolutely delighted that he's gone.

Aye all that was needed was change. Ashley isnt going to hire a top class manager because we've put a few banners up outlining that we like passing football. More likely to get to a good manager via a poor one & Ashley nearly losing out himself than keeping a guy who supports the minimum as Pardew did.

I can't fucking stand the be careful what you wish for cliche. Pardew needed to be jettisoned out of the club. Too many people accept the utter shit situation they are in, because they fear it could be worse. Six game winning streaks amidst relegation form would of course make any sane individual wish for something better. Pardew was a horrible manager, and a proper knob to boot. I would never accept the "security" of having this snake oil salesman as out manager. Carver is a hopeless walking taint, but it doesn't change the last few seasons under Pardew in any way.

Pardew was poor. All those three goal plus defeats, his record vs. the mackems, and the set penis are more than enough proof.

 

Carver being appointed and being allowed to nearly relegate us simply confirm that the club is rotten beyond what were Pardew's failings.

Cba to read all of this, but at a glance they look pretty healthy financially. 5th biggest profit in PL last year, without basically any of that coming from player sales. Second lowest wages in the league. £27m cash balance in the bank. Would still imagine they can't start throwing big wages around though. Especially not at the likes of Adebayor.

If Cabaye is available for £10 million why the f*** are we not trying to buy him?

 

Probably because it would be over double what we originally paid, but he's 4 years older. We won't touch him.

 

Shame, because I think he might of got in ahead of Colback.
