Craig 6302 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 10 years ago this month we were all up in arms at the thought of Venables becoming the next manager after SBR. How many of us wish we had gone down that route in hindsight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4219 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Dyche, Pearson and Monk are unknown quantities at this level, but both Dyche and Pearson done well at championship level. Â Dyche particularly getting a club the size of burnley automatic promotion. Â Monk has already been mentioned, doing great work with Swansea so far, if that list is "poor managers" I dread to think where Pardew comes. Â Redknapp isn't a better manager either imo.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 When was the last time Bruce or Hughes got a team to 5th. Â Pardew is an odious man, but not as bad or responsible as the burn the witch brigade are making out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ausman 0 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 That's been doing the rounds for a while. Â I don't know much of anything about Galtier, anyone got insight? Â Â I know, maybe they are trying to rehash and old story, knowing that it's not going well for Pardew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that suggest 5th is his level, or an anomaly? Â hint: it's not his level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that suggest 5th is his level, or an anomaly? Â hint: it's not his level. It's very simple. I am saying that despite the blokes personality, when he has been backed he has got results. Â And by backed we are talking bare minimum not an abundant squad. Â Selling Carroll and Cabaye half way through a season and not replacing them are situations most managers would struggle with. Â The facts are however that he's finished 5th against the odds and Had us in the same strong position last Christmas until Cabaye went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â A page ago you were saying he had us chasing champions league despite Cabaye flouncing. Â Now Cabaye was the entire difference between Champions League pre christmas and relegation form after. Â Was it the player or the manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 It's laughable really. We've all Sat there all summer waiting for Charnley and Carr to get a proven striker and CB in. But because they haven't it's time for Anti Pardew protests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been more consistent with higher position than Pardew in the past, that's how he got the Man City job. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wouldnt expect you to have the car stuck in cruise control at 40 mph whilst you use the wrong pedals, drive in the wrong direction, and spend more time on the phone and looking at yourself in the mirror than looking at the road....
