Pardew odds on to take new job

If it had been me I can guarantee it would have been.

Fair do`s though. Good on yer.


Back to the thread. I`m thinking Ally McCoist might wander in.

1). The Rangers connection.
2). He`s on gardening leave. ie paid for doing nothing. Ashley could get him for free. Ashley likes free.
3). Rangers owe him £3m.

Just a thought hoyed into the mix.

 

I'd take Glen Hoddle in a flash.

 

OMG will the ****e never ever stop. Don't particularly like Pardew, but lord knows who Ashley is likely to bring in as his replacement. Nobody worth a jot is going to want to work to Ashleys script. Talk of Colocini is beyond laughable, even Carragher and Neville after the match tonight fell about laughing at the thought of it.
I am not pleased to see this news as l genuinely fear for the future stability of our club. Just too unsettling at the present time.
Maybe it will all pan out okay, but right now l can see little to be celebrating.

 

@tfBettsy1892: With £3m sitting on our back pocket why can't we go and take someone else's ****ing manager? De Boer, Koeman, Laudrup etc #NUFC

 

If it`s in Ashleys back pocket mate consider it gone.

 

Colo = Laughable
Be careful what you wish for......Santa doesn't always bring the prezzies that you want

 

Colo doesn't have the coaching badges anyway. You need an a license I think.

 

De Boer has already said that he is not interested in leaving during the season
Koeman is at a (currently) better club - cold hard facts
Laudrup is NOT an improvement on Pards and can't understand why people keep suggesting him. He has not been a success at a single club he has been at past the first season.

 

What amazes me is in this current life of utterly underwhelming things anyone would suggest "better". It will be someone incredibly uninspiring, but who will enjoy more or less the same success. Haven't we had it drummed into us from above? Hell, look around you - Martinez can't buy a win, Rodgers is well below last season, the Champiionships finest struggle, and so on and so forth. There is no fcking messiah - that was a thing that happened, it will not happen again. Our "messiah" came 20 years ago. The whole of Christianity had theirs 2014 years ago and they're still awaiting their second, I wouldn't hold your breath.

 

This perfectly sums it up.

I can't see past Tim Sherwood now to be honest, earlier I was saying Pulis but there is only one person who would be willing to manage under Mike Ashley, and it's anyone who was willing to manage under Daniel Levy. Tim Sherwood is from London, Ashley will like that, he also plays okay football. However reports from 2 hours ago suggest that seeing the situation developing here and Sherwood becoming favourite for the job, West Brom have sacked Irvine and are lining up for Tim.

 

Brucie in!

I'm trying to think of the worst possible next manager, just so anything else is a bonus.

DEFCON 5: AVB. Managed at this level twice, been sacked twice for results not being good enough, the football being below standard, the team conceding too many because of a suicidal high line, and despite being sexy he speaks with a kind of deep husky trucker voice. It's creepier than Hannibal Lector reading the lines for the audiobook of Harry Potter.

DEFCON 4: PETER BEARDSLEY. Well, any of our current staff being promoted isn't exactly ideal. No experience of general management before taking a premier league job always works, doesn't it? That's why Ricky Sbraigia (or however you spell it) is still at Sunderland, that's why the natural successor to Fergie was Phelan... Just no. We at least need someone with a past history of successful tenure, and that doesn't mean somebody who has won something, that means somebody who has done a job which surpasses expectations in whatever circumstances they were in.

DEFCON 3:GLENN HODDLE. As above, I say Glenn, but this is for ALL players/managers who have been out of the game. I really don't care if they've been spending every waking second pouring over annuals and tactics diagrams, interviewing players, spewing some ****e as a pundit, since they put away the boots or managed a club, if they've been out of the game for 5 years, maybe even as little as 2, then their experience and talents are irrelevant. Think of all the times someone has come back to management after a prolonged period away, how often has it been a success? The game evolves beyond them, and despite the fact they could be commentating on a game every weekend, they will inevitably stick to their old fashioned, out-dated ideas when they get the job.

DEFCON 2: COLOCCINI. Any player given the additional responsibility of management will go to ****. We've seen they can barely handle simply playing football well at times, so why would we do this to them? Most modern managers put in an incredible shift, they have to. Pouring over videos of the opposition, videos of their own team, working out training schedules, tactics, board meetings... There's no lazy football managers, or none that will ever succeed, I'll leave it as that.

It's not even a cheap option like you'd imagine. I'm pretty sure if Ashley knocked on a player's door, their agent is going to be slightly less into rough anal sexy times than Pardew's, and it'll be a very expensive conversation.

And as the final nail in this particular coffin, however romantic the notions flying around in your head, being managed during a playing career by great managers does not make a footballer a great manager. At best it'll make them a dressing room copycat, and probably copying said outdated ideas.

DEFCON 1: JOE KINNEAR. Any ****ing twatting fannying prickfacing explanation needed arseholes?

 

The only thing that would make me happy about Joe Kinnear becoming manager is that as soon as he loses his first match the backlash and hate he recieves will be so strong, his heart with cave in and we will never have to see that ****ing slug drag himself onto a pitch ever again.

 

Wouldn't mind Colo until the summer if it meant we could get De Boer then, never going to happen though

Bookies have Colo as the favourite!

 

I believe you do only if there's a danger of playing in Europe.

 

Oh, Coloccini then. This is a new one from the Merry Depths of Hell.

I thought he was keen on going back to the Argentine, so what the hell is doing staying on as manager? I think that Coloccini is JPF's Defcon #2 (see above) but it could have been worse it could have been little Mikey Owen I suppose.

Ashley: never a dull moment and I still can't work out why Palace want our esteemed manager and why he's wanting to go to a place where he'll be sacked by Easter. The world has gone mad especially so North of the Tyne.

 

For a Club that is steeped in Tradition and Proud of its record in Dispensing of a Managers Services, it's unusual for a Manager to be poached by another club.

I can only recall this happening on one other occasion when Everton tapped up the twat that sold Supermac.
Will Pardew be held in similar high esteem in the years ahead?

 

Colo is not going to be manager, most are saying there is **** all substance to it anyway.

Also good on Colin Murray, I've always liked the guy and his view on the situation is refreshing to say the least with the vast majority of the media biase of how great Pardew is/was/shall ever will be. He is the only bloke saying it sadly.

 

How can it be Colo? He doesn't have his badges. It will be either Carver, Beardo or Stone or combination to end of the season, or some no mark like Curbishley Prepare for the worst. I blame the supporters, unrealistic barbaric heathens with a lack of football knowledge...
