Jack Flash Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I'm trying to work out if it serve them right if carver takes us down Of course. 6 months "work" looking for a new manager goes down the drain if we also go down the drain. They love trying to reinvent the rules of football yet we're no further forward than when they came in and in many cases significantly behind.

Guest Gino14 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 As if it's really a thing where we'd hate anything he said. If he came out and said we were going to appoint and support a new manager imminently in this transfer window nobody would have been harsh. Instead the bullet points from the interview are: - Pardew was never in danger of losing his job. - We're so useless we had no backup plans in place. - No need to worry about the manager effecting the transfer window because we won't buy anyone anyway. - We might sell someone important. - New manager might not be appointed till the summer. - We've not even considered the threat of awful football performance and relegation. How could anyone read that article and have a positive response? Reading between the lines it confirms every fear any sensible fan has about the club.

Minhosa Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 'We promise to communicate better' but I don't want to be in the limelight. Oh, and the "Head Coach" can only talk about matches. Erm..............well, who does that leave then you fucking wingnut? going to be interesting to see how they cope with that scenario, Pardew took an awful lot of pressure and attention off them with his job as sole nufc employee who actually talked to the press, now if the manager is only supposed to talk about matchs that leaves a fair number of questions the press won't just politely keep to themselves. Exactly. Recipe for disaster and these fucks can't see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericho Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Charnley: "First and foremost, they have to be a good coach and with a track record of developing players and giving young players a chance is important." It is Garde, isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly aren't we in the same spot as when Houghton was binned? Revenues have only grown due to the TV deal increasing? The club has been mismanaged at all levels, the only thing they excel at us drilling boreholes and reducing costs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Loved the championship me I did too but don't think we'll get so lucky as we did last time, above all else the squad had actual leaders in it that time, now we have a rather spineless group half of whom would be on the phone to their agents to get them the hell out of here.

Memphis Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 The beginning where he very specifically and patiently outlined how much they loved Pardew was extremely depressing. And a frankly disastrous way to start an interview. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just want to squeak by and keep collecting the TV money. They're probably looking at the way Lerner is running Villa with complete envy. Spend nothing, stay up and have the fans hate you. Perfect business model from the total arseholes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Rather noticeably the question, 'what the hell are you going to do whilst waiting for this miracle appointment in summer'? wasn't asked. Utter utter lunacy to wait. We're nowhere near safe. Relegation would be completely deserved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Loved the championship me I did too but don't think we'll get so lucky as we did last time, above all else the squad had actual leaders in it that time, now we have a rather spineless group half of whom would be on the phone to their agents to get them the hell out of here. Not that I think we're necessarily destined for relegation at this point, but I don't think we'd be down long. For all the ambition that Ashley lacks, he definitely doesn't want us in the Championship. That'd be a massive financial hit for him. We'd probably lose our best players to PL clubs, but I have a feeling we could still assemble the strongest side in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gino14 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 The thing that gets me is that as fans we sit here and we see the big disasters coming a mile off. Yet when they inevitably happen, Ashley, the board and the media act like it's a big shock. "Oh my god we got relegated, well nobody saw that coming" they'll say after this disaster and yet us as fans will have been screaming to them about it for six months. What plain of reality are these morons living on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I hope they are going to make an actual decision on who the manager will be rather than just wait until the Summer. If they defer the decision, then I would expect the better names will get better offers in the meantime or will end up being unimpressed with our approach and end up declining any offer. They always seem to want to set themselves apart from everyone else and do things differently but unfortunately it never ends up with us doing any better than anyone else. But I guess this is the way they do things at Sports Direct and after all we are only a department within that company. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
