Most people liked Pardew when he finished fifth. And then we turned on him quickly when he turned out to be a fraud. If everyone agrees, great. I never liked Pardew, but I was reasonably sympathetic to him at first - I agreed with KK's take at the time - that the rot was at the very top, and Pardew was just a mediocre manager (my words, not KK's) trying to do a difficult job: The problem was once the form took a nosedive in 12/13, the bullshit excuses and blaming everyone but himself and Ashley began. The man was a spineless yes-man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardiles, who wasn't a particularly good manager, had integrity. Gullit, who was a shite manager, also had it. Pardew, Bruce, Souness - I only include permanent managers - lacked it completely; I'd argue that Dalglish was almost as spineless (dedicating the 1998 FAC SF win to Douglas Hall and Freddie Shepherd after their NOTW expose was a low for him), but didn't lack integrity like those three.

We all loved him almost as much as we love Eddie now for like half a year. I know we all want to forget it now, but it happened. Equally amazing is how he managed to lose all of that goodwill within less than a season after. Bit like PIF (depending how next few months go).

sugoinufc Posted August 11, 2025 Share Posted August 11, 2025 Aghehowa or Muani+ Wissa for Isak would be good business at this stage. It will be tough but it is what we should aim for. Thiaw solves CB issue. And the we need a good CM. Many good ones out there. Its not impossible to finish the window on a "high"...(Isak aside) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted August 11, 2025 Share Posted August 11, 2025 Can we blame some of our ineffective transfer window on this prick taking up so much time an energy?

Trying to find two strikers, including a top tier prospect, has been more difficult than just getting a Wilson replacement in. I do blame the snake in part.

Yorkie Posted August 11, 2025 Share Posted August 11, 2025 Pardew is routinely complimentary about the club on his media duties these days. It doesn't come close to exempting him from his actions between August 2012 and January 2015. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
