    It's hardly something to jump for joy over.

    Look forward, not back.

    True. And Rafa didn’t have a £40m striker and ASM.

    They started the comparison I've waited and ended it for them.

    I like him but I don't want him next season.

    What's to compare, as Ben10 says, both done fine under ****ty circumstances.
    That's about all anyone can say, as no one really expected anything more from either of them.
    I'd prefer a new manager next season, but, unless the takeover happens, SB will still be here.
    Nothing the likes of us say or do will change that.

    I obviously haven't made myself clear

    The rafa haters were all balls deep in comparisons until the pendulum swung the other way

    I said at the time it's a ridiculous comparison and short sighted because both got a different hand at a time all the other clubs changed hands too.

    I'm just rubbing it in

    When you consider Pardew did markedly better than both, it’s something of a pointless debate.

    I personally think it's what you leave behind that counts

    We were 10th and safe. It was Pardew that kept us up that season

    We were consistently safe and had no issues. The two next managers were utter gash and relegated us.

    We only ever looked like dropping once under Pardew... and that season we were Europa League quater finalists...

    If the fans dont take to you youre ****ed, nothing you achieve is worth ****.

    this is the rafa vs bruce comparison thread..

    start another about pardew vs hughton or carver

    too far apart in terms of circumstance

    pardew did get it yrs I think some were still to realise how the owner was the problem there ...

    Or it might have been the “head butting” of the Hull player or the pushing of the linesman or being Ashley’s mouthpiece

    But then again it could have been the fans just didn’t take to him. We’ll probably never know.
