Goes without saying any Newcastle fan looking back on his time fondly is utterly clueless and it's their breed who enabled Ashley to stick around for so long. With everything good that is happening, it's easy to forget that - during the worst of it - I felt as detached from the wider fanbase as much as I did the rest of the club. Probably one of the reasons why I'm still not fully back (to the levels I was when growing up) and dare say I never will be. Great post. Can only shake my head at the idea of history being re-revised (good guy, to shithead, to good guy) on him. The future was clear enough under him early on. Stole a squad, lucked out, successfully gaslit half a generation. All those who played the game and called loyal servants 'greedy cunts', and tucked their tales between their legs and accepted the idea of being outmuscled by Southampton and Leicester. If anyone wants to look back fondly at that time, look back at Graham Carr. A competent manager (and ownership) would've led to a very different decade from 2011 onwards.

When you look at the bigger picture and the other three years though you can judge his overall performance much better. He’s still a bad manager as we’ve seen at his other clubs and a personality to match also. Still, there’s nothing wrong with looking back fondly on his time here. I can. And I have. He did fuck all and he’s getting nowt from me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Speaking of fond memories I love Jonas and remember Perch and Guthrie fondly. Simpson, Obertan and Moke not so much but I like Raylor as he loves the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) I feel like he has to get some credit for the season at 5th (though on evidence he clearly got lucky to a large extent), I reckon there was something about him that made him adept at riding the wave of positivity generated early in the season. But he was obviously shit most of the time - but the big thing about Pardew was what he was to Mike Ashley. Dedicating the win to him etc ffs - he was a junior partner of Ashley's in hollowing out the club. Edited April 14, 2022 by Inferior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough He’s a knob and a crap manager but they can still get things right from time to time. His overall record shows his limitations though. The HBA handling criticism I find interesting also, as I was fuming at it but tbf Pardew is hardly alone there. The player seems to fall out with everyone who manages him… at some point the player might be part of the problem Edited April 14, 2022 by St. Maximin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time we lost our 4th in a row to the mackems (1-0 Johnson at home) and the crowd just grumbled off home I was prob at my lowest ever point - I couldn't believe the apathy.

NG32 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Pardew was nothing more than a chancer where he managed to cobble things together for one season, after that he wasted all of what talent we had. He never took responsibility for his choices and always looked for scapegoats. He was nothing more than a 1980s UPVC windows sales man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Characters like Pardew are all too happy to own their successes but not their failings. He has been very good at retroactively portraying himself as being put upon by Ashley despite being all too glad to be able to rub shoulders in smart suits with the elite and toe the line exactly as Ashley wanted. Plucked from obscurity and grateful for it. His milking of 5th bought him some stock with Palace and WBA and now where is he? Oblivion again at a young age for a coach. He can get fucked. Thanks for 5th/Europa if you like. Didn’t stop the Shan cunt bemoaning afterward as soon as it suited his agenda. Aye off you fuck, patsy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
