Happy Face 29 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Goals Scored since Pardew took over 10/11 - 56 11/12 - 56 12/13 - 45 13/14 - 38 (will we score 7 more?) Diminishing returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanColo 0 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 An absolute shitstorm awaits fanwise after Man U imo. Going to be hard to ignore. Based on my opinion that we'll get beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 If his bonus says he needs to get a top ten finish, and he achieves that, then he's met the criteria and deserves his bonus. Think his bonus was 100k, Mike's already sorted that conundrum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19735 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I want them all out: Pardew, half the players, but Ashley is the one that has to go first. Who knows what kind of moron he'd being in to replace him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 It would be interesting to see who Ashley went for, and who he could attract, in a proper managerial hunt.. The last time he had plenty of time and opportunity to replace an unpopular manager, without being in a real struggle, was when he brought in Keegan.

trophyshy 6432 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 He'd go for another wideboy sort, from London or the home counties. What is Venables up to these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19735 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 On the basis that he appointed Joe Kinnear as dof, it wouldn't surprise me if he brought back big Ron Atkinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 There's plenty managers out there who would come to us, I've no doubt about that, but Ashley doesnt want that, he wants someone to spite the fans, to lick his arse and do the minimum possible to get money out the club into his pocket.

McFaul 35 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Apathy is higher than I've ever seen it. There will be no shitstorm As someone who was there as part of 10,004 against Oxford in 1991, a game where no one cared, I think this is bollocks. We had 48,000 paying good money for the last game.

David Kelly 1115 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 On the basis that he appointed Joe Kinnear as dof, it wouldn't surprise me if he brought back big Ron Atkinson.I'm far from convinced Big Ron would be worse than Pardew at this stage. For all the hysteria about Kinnear, I do doubt he would appoint someone of that ilk again. For all I don't really think he gives much of a flying fuck about the club, I don't think he'd intenionally employ incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19735 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 What explains the appointment then? Just sheer ignorance on Ashley's part? He could easily appoint someone as bad or worse. and what self respecting manager of any quality would want to work for the cunt anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I do think he gets a kick out of pissing us off. Definitely does. Renaming Shearer's for example, I can't think of any reason to do it other than being on the wind-up. Do people still get in there? I've only been in once and the pint was rank so never went again, but if I was a regular I wouldn't be after that stunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could easily appoint someone as bad or worse. and what self respecting manager of any quality would want to work for the cunt anyway? In terms of Kinnear as a manager I think it was something like panic on his part, thinking he needed someone quickly when Keegan left and Kinnear was obviously someone he knew and trusted at the time. I don't think we'd be in the same position (ie we're safe from relegation which is really his only concern) so he'd have more time to make a considered choice. The bloke clearly isn't a moron or he wouldn't have achieved what he has with Sports Direct but he doesn't know a lot about football. There's clearly still a risk but I just doubt it would be a complete clusterfuck. As for who would come, well clearly we couldn't attract a top manager but I'm sure there's plenty of good coaches who get more from the players than Pardew who would jump at the chance to manage a premiership team that gets the third highest attendances in the country even if it does mean working for him.

Happy Face 29 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Renaming shearers was more about his personal relationship with the bloke than with the fans. Don't know anyone who gave a flying fuck among supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know anyone who gave a flying fuck among supporters. I did. Looking at the bigger picture, shitting on a club hero of recent times mightn't be that important but it probably bothered more fans than it did Shearer. I'm sure takings must be down in there since he did it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
