I can understand wanting to protect a foreign player new to our game ala Rafa with Merino, but when the alternative is Mullins howay :lol: Someone like KK would just stick him in there and say enjoy yourself and play.

Think it's probably more likely that he knew full well who he was, but decided that he needed 'taking down a few pegs' by pretending not to know him, to, I don't know, assert dominance and teach him humility, or some other horrible man-management idea.

 

But how does that explain constantly playing Hayden Mullins in place of Mascherano for half a season. Does he not watch them in training? Even the craziest posters on football forums wouldn't make that mistake.

 

Mascherano walked into our midfield as first choice competing against Xabi Alonso and Steven Gerrard. But could not displace Reo Coker and Mullins.

 

Been a while, but am I remembering right that Tevez and Mascherano weren't Pardew signings? The agent went direct to WHam's owners, or something? If that's the case, I can completely see Pardew being stubborn enough to not play them because they were 'forced' on him, regardless of their talent. Fits in with the petty belittling, as well.

 

:thup: It's all this.

 

He knew who they were, what positions they played. He just needed to show them who The King was.

 

This 'King' image is overblown as well. He's a small man in reality, who tried to cover up his lack of nous with bluster and bullshit. Under pressure he always cracked and was reduced to tears on the touchline when he was here. I'm pretty sure deep down he knows he hasn't got a clue and tries to cover it up with arselicking the right people and talking shite.

“Look, Alan knew the club before he took that job. He knew he was getting that job before Chris went and he had done his work looking at what kind of a club he was taking over,” captain Nolan recalls.

 

“He was clever and knew it was a strong dressing room. He came and met me at my house the evening before he got the job and talked to me about what his plans for the club were, what he wanted to do and the important players to him. Chris was very popular with all of us but I liked what he had to say.”

 

“To be fair to Pardew he made a rare good half-time team talk. He reminded us of our responsibilities, he said our families and parents were there.” Pardew said that there was a responsibility to the club, the shirt and the fans to not let the defeat get any worse. “I thought it was good,” Harper said.

It'd be perfect.  They want to sell their best players and Pardew is the perfect used car salesman to get it done.

 

'How was you first day of training, Alan?'

'Yeah, good, plenty of fret, got to know the lads a bit, Grealish did well today, we'd probably have to take £20m if it was offered, maybe £18m'

Ah, the old “no one wants to hire me so I’ll ‘retire’ to save face” gambit. Followed by a triumphant return, saying how “retirement just waddnt fa me, av got too much pashun”, when the first offer comes in.

He probably had so many offers her didn't know which one to pick so he just retired. Went through 3 new front doors as various chairmen up and down the land beat them down.

 

He's fucking pathetic. He can't even retire properly the hideous cunt.
