rogerbarton 24 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Come on guys. We all know the bad run will continue for a few more games, then they'll suddenly pull together a six game winning streak with Benteke hitting form around October/November time. That'll have them pretty much safe by Christmas, and they can revert to relegation form thereafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2188 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Dunno, he's looking like a good bet for first PL manager to be sacked if his losing run continues for a few more games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4963 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 He really should have taken the England job - it would have meant that he'd survive a few more years at the top, since he would have left Palace before anyone could be categorically certain that he's shit - and England is a poisoned chalice as we all know; failing there would have just been par for the course. I wonder if he'll ever get a better chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30360 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 The 'ruling himself out' patter suggests to me his agent had a sniff about and found out the FA weren't that keen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4963 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 You reckon? I'm struggling to think why they would choose BSA over Pardew though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30360 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Well I don't think there was much between him, Bruce or Allardyce in that they're all very ordinary but I don't see the soi-disant king of football not being interested in the England job. Maybe I'm wrong and he thinks it's a thankless task. It certainly used to be the case that the FA reckoned no one have ever turned it down.

Rayvin 4963 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I guess so. I think I'd rate Pardew a step higher than Bruce and Allardyce though. Just. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8985 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I guess so. I think I'd rate Pardew a step higher than Bruce and Allardyce though. Just. If his good form coincides with finals he could do well, but that's as long as his poor form doesn't prevent him getting there in the first place.

Rayvin 4963 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Heh, yeah. Can you imagine trying to exist on the same planet as Pardew if he won an international tournament? We'd have to abandon the planet and relocate to his head instead. I don't understand why we didn't just get a foreign manager really, it's not like BSA is going to build anything even vaguely remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 It's a myth that Pardew is able to turnaround a worsening situation and after a long run of defeats, use some tactical switch or man management skills to get out of the hole. Performances get worse until he gets some new players to give things a boost. After a short lift then they get worse again. He wouldn't have that crutch to depend on as England manager. He'd run out of ideas with his best players and have no-one else to lift things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 I guess so. I think I'd rate Pardew a step higher than Bruce and Allardyce though. Just. I'd probably put Bruce above them all. 4 Championship promotions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4963 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) That's a fair point I guess. He just never seems to go anywhere though. Pardew has occasionally looked like he might touch something approaching glory, even if it's largely by happy coincidence of circumstances. Thanks for the stats as well, HF - I think that's probably about right and I guess the FA can see that too. He could of course change the players in his squad quite regularly to give lifts, etc. but I guess that's not quite the same thing.
