Harolds man management skills evaporated as soon as he walked through the doors at HQ. He had 25 games that season to keep us up and no matter how bad the atmosphere was as a supposed man manager supreme he should have have more out of that side than he did. Still what harm he had Hughes to blame for it going tits up.
Also look how he has managed the tantrum known as AT (not allowed to say his name), a decent man manager would have got him onside the same way as Warnock did, instead we are still in the ongoing cycle of him going/staying/going/no one wants him/going.......
I expect Pardew to make Mutch the quality player we believed he was when we signed him........Damming of Harold and his cronies indeed.
