Not to defend him but all those statements have been made by plenty of others. Pards was prob a bad call but then again Pardew has a solid record with the task he was faced with at West Brom. It hasn't come off this time but that is the nature of taking on relegation clubs - russian roulette. Eventually there is a bullet in the chamber. Everton - many were raving about the money they spent and how Koeman was a great coach. Few could have predicted how badly it went wrong for them after they spent an absolute bomb two windows in a row. Arsenal were looking a much better bet when he said. Spurs had lost their way badly and cost themselves any hope of a title challenge. Eventually class prevailed and they turned it around. Coleman to the more astute football follower was a bad appointment. He has a terrible club record. However he was coming off the back of a stellar period as Wales manager. You can see why so many got confused. So as much as I hate the hairy one, it is very easy to go all captain hindsight. I mean look at the Mackems, they thought they were in a piss easy league and had a squad comparable to ours...
Best not take a look back at some of the predictions on here ...... They make Richard Keys look fairly level headed.
Comes across as an unpleasant individual. However, perhaps I've misread him and he's actually a real gent who brings joy to all those that encounter him..
