NG32 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 If we win against Leicester, 9. If we lose against Leicester, 7. Your measuring device is off? :lol: He means more chance of Pardew staying with a win so we will do worse with him not being sacked sooner Ahh now I see it. his device is still ferked tho.

NG32 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Still find it hard to believe we might go down. I did before the season kicked off but now, looking at the mess thats before us, it all makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Still find it hard to believe we might go down. I change my mind all the time, looks nailed on then I think Cisse might get enough goals to scrape us home. Especially when De Jong comes back. If nothing else happens with injuries. Either way it's going to be a shit season and very close at the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I haven't seen anywhere near enough of De Jong to judge his impact on this team, but it's pretty clear that Pardew is relying on him hugely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we were doing the same with Cisse coming back. We know we will lose a lot of games, but we hope it might not matter in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieT Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I am increasingly worried about the risk of relegation if Pardew sticks around too much longer. Two home games against Leicester and QPR are the only games in the next two months that I think we should be winning. Could genuinely see us with only ten points or so at Christmas.

Wullie Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 We'll not get to 40 points but we might be kept up by other teams being worse. Other struggling clubs won't hesitate to sack, which usually helps so gives them a distinct advantage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Does anyone still believe Ashley cares what happens to us. I don't think he does. He is quite content to let Pardew take us down. As a gambling multi Billionaire, relegation won't affect his lifestyle one iota. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People say stability is important, they never say you should never sack a manager. Obviously when I guy has been at a club 4 years and is clearly crap, the stability argument no longer applies.

As a gambling multi Billionaire, relegation won't affect his lifestyle one iota. I think he cares enough for us to retain our Premiership status and nothing more. We are basically a business for advertising and selling tat, the football side is an unwanted package of the business. Thats why its ran so badly.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Well I pushed the stability argument for a while, because I was sick of us sacking managers all the time. But now, he's had a good run, the club is no longer like that, he's proving himself to be pretty useless. So I think the stability argument is just wrong now.

What if we just need a bit more stability? If we get over this hump our stability points will surely be close to 999 and at that point Pards will morph into Alex Ferguson.
