Ashley's Dilemna

Pretty much sums up where I'm at.

I think there have been plenty of variables that have gone against him and I don't think he's the worst manager out there (that doesn't mean I'm calling him a good manager). I have always worried that Ashley would just bring in another stooge who could actually be worse. The problem now is that there is no way back for Pardew. The atmosphere will be so toxic that there is no benefit in keeping him. I do worry he'll be replaced with s**t - but even that can't be worse now than the situation we have.

Pardew is right that the atmosphere isn't helping the team. The atmosphere isn't going to change with Pardew here though so the ONLY sensible and good-business option left for Ashley is to replace him. I hope we can get in someone good - but even someone else bad (as I fear) will at least lift the atmosphere in the short-term.

 

If Ashley ever cared about his gimp minion he would sack him before next week as the atmosphere will be vile. I imagine the other backroom staff after their exploits won't be safe from the fans wrath either.

 

Ha ha carver gets paid for fook all. Frightened he loses his job which he is **** at Also goalkeeper coach. Had a bad day yesterday. Watching Forster out doing flapper krul. Get them oot now

 

Only one Ashley should just bugger off and take Pardew with them. Both are cancers which are killing our football club.

 

We are not in a dog fight at all because that would mean we had fight in us !!
Instead we are simply going down without a care in the world

 

I'm not totally convinced by the argument that most managers wouldn't want to work under Ashley. Granted no top notch managers would want to but whilst Ashley calls the shots on player transfers, this isn't too different to a number of other clubs. However, unlike many other hated and crazy owners Ashley has proved he is willing to stand by his manager despite underachieving. A number of managers would probably recognise that, especially in this modern cut throat era.

 

They may want premier league wages for a start

 

It's my understanding that Alan Pardew has not had a say in the players that were brought in - can that really be true?

Ashley won't sack Pardew yet, why would he?

We lost 0-3 at home to Sunderland and then 0-6 at home to Liverpool.

He didn't lose his job after that ****ing disgrace so why would a 4-0 away defeat prompt a sacking?

 

Pardew is here as long as Ashley is here

 

Sack the fans, that would sort it out.

 

Those ****s are the real issue

 

I went to the friendly game with Real Sociedad but that will be it for me this season. That's how totally pissed off with Ashley and Pardew I am.

Keeping my money firmly in my pocket.

 

Fellas, he's already been asked to resign. It's brinkmanship of the lowest order, a pi$$ing contest between two egomaniacs at the expense of a loyal and undeserving fanbase.

 

Pardew is Ashleys mate he won't sack him even when we go down

 

Maybe that's where it all went wrong, when Pards asked Ashley what he wanted him to do this season he got confused when Mike replied: "Alan, I want you to go down!"

 

He would if it meant relegation. He is a tight **** but not daft. When he sells the club he will want the best price possible - he won't get that with us getting relegated again.

 

You would think he would ask him to come up for some air.

 

He won't sell us and if he did he'd sell it to pot noodle on his death bed just annoy us
