Big Geordie Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I shared that Chron piece on FB today and a couple of my mates were saying that Pardew wasn't really to blame, that it was more down to Ashley (which of course, it is) However, I refuse to give the smarmy cunt a free pass.

Teasy Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Nor should you, bollocks was he not to blame, the overall shitness of this club is down to Ashley yes. But tactics, team selection, ruining players, excuses and pushing/head butting people was down to nobody else but that horrendous cunt Pardew.

Guest Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Trying to think of a Pardew 'cast off' XI. Not including players sold above him etc but just players he's dumped, sold, dropped/underused because he didn't fancy them. Forster Jonas Santon Mascherano Mbiwa Routledge Marveaux Bigirimana Abeid Ben Arfa Tevez Fuckwit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Yeah, well you think wrong. Sorry about that. Pardew himself said it was a football decision. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jonas-gutierrez-says-alan-pardew-8799531 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/11494871/Jonas-Gutierrez-will-never-forgive-Newcastle-for-lack-of-support-in-cancer-fighht.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2842989/Alan-Pardew-defends-Newcastle-telling-cancer-survivor-Jonas-Gutierrez-club.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 You don't believe that was Pardew's personal decision do you? I mean, nobody knows, but it seems like the club would decide at a higher level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 It was Pardew's 'football decision' if we're to take him by his word. Which I wouldn't personally, but then he was more than happy to bring him back into the side when it all came out...which is a bit odd. More than happy to use Jonas's cancer announcement to try and overshadow a protest against Pardew vs Hull as well...bit odd that considering he'd already made the 'football decision' to tell him to find a new club. Club decision or not, Pardew was the one with the message to pass on and he did it deplorably, 'the club' also brought him back into the team.

Dinho lad Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Santon was one of few of Pardew signings. He was dumped by Carver. Routledge didn't perform here in the PL. Same for Marveaux. Abeid was definitely not the same player that he was at the start of last season when he was being shipped out on loan under Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I think it was more likely a club decision, especially as he had been declining well before anybody knew he had cancer. He was constantly getting game time despite playing poorly as he fit the Pardew ethic of 'work hard, play shit'. The decision not to play and basically make him an outcast is something I reckon came from the top, Pardew saying it was a football decision seems like something he's been told to say, especially when prior to the cancer news he was constantly starting, which was annoying the shit out of everyone.

Dinho lad Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Also, Jonas was clearly not performing and therefore it was a good decision to remove him from the line-up. But obviously his overall treatment by Pardew and/or the club was a disgrace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I like how people are painting Pardew as merely being the deliverer of the 'fuck off' and not the instigator as something that he's not in any way responsible for. If it was a club decision and Pardew had to deliver the news, he probably could have done a better job than 'find another club' a couple of weeks after he'd been diagnosed with cancer, particularly to someone that had served us so well. Honestly, it really sticks in my throat when Pardew gets a free ride on the whole Jonas thing. People forget that Jonas came back and Carver played him as well. In the best case scenario, Pardew was a puppet with the ability to tell a man with cancer to find another club. The bloke is an absolute scumbag, at best.

Like seriously, how is any of this in any way an excuse for Pardew? Particularly when it's guess work and the official line from the club, Pardew and Jonas is that it was a football decision.

But obviously his overall treatment by Pardew and/or the club was a disgrace. That's my feeling too, the illness obviously made everything much worse but he was way past his useful life for the team. If he ever had one. Massively respect the guy though, and grateful for his saving goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
