Also has anyone considered Ashley might be about to sell to go all in North of the Border? Just a thought.

"Thanks for costing me £400k in Scotland, please have this job"?? Can't see it.
Juergen Klopp anyone....lol.
Sorry, meant LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
Well looks like it is happening and I dread to think who we will get.
Pulis? Loves long ball football which everybody said they hated about Pardew, and wasn't good enough for Palace (while Pardew apparently is)
Laudrup? Has not had a single club where he has had a good second full season. Has a good first season and then the performances have dropped off and fans have got on his back calling for him to go. Sound familiar?
De Boer? McLaren They will be going nowhere.
Beardsley till the end of the season? Very possibly - at least we have a good track record when players we idolise become caretaker managers - oh wait........

Interesting from Mark Douglas in that more or less all of his appointments, anywhere, post-Shearer have been within his circle. Kinnear, Hughton, Charnley, Llambias (twice), Pardew.
Really, really smells like Beardsley's going to get the shot here.
Mixed feelings really.. thought I'd be over the moon when it happened (if it happens that is) but very worried as to who is available to replace him. If there were some decent candidates then I would be quite excited but as it is, the only one who I was even half bothered about in De Boer has come out and said he's going nowhere until at least the end of the season. Even then he is certainly not guaranteed success.
I think Ashley should get 38 managers, then he can curry favour with the so called expert fans and sack each one after every defeat.
I think there is a very good chance that could happen. Whoever it is from his circle, it will not be a name to bring much excitement. If Beardsley gets the job he will get my full support while he has it, but I can't for the life of me see how he will do better. Do the under 21's play a different style of football to the first team?
The part that worries me as much as who is replacing Pardew, is what has changed to make Pardew want to jump? If it is down to knowing we are in for a repeat of selling and not replacing in January then we may well see a repeat of last season's slide down the table no matter who is in charge!
If he goes, and I can't believe it, but it looks like he will, I wish him all the best. He's not a terrible manager, he's a bit of twat, and at times really unprofessional, but he's also relatable and he's done a pretty decent job given how hard it is to succeed under the circumstances Ashley dictates we put ourselves in.
Pros-
- He kept us in the league throughout his reign
- He liked it here
- He did have some cracking results
- He had our best season since 2002-3
- He worked under ridiculously difficult conditions, basically managed with both hands tied behind his back
- He did listen to fans. He did try and adapt and evolve the style of our play, and he has, with limited resources
- He knew the responsibility of managing this club
Cons-
- Unprofessional conduct
- derby record
- poor 2014 record
- some of his post-match interviews were a bit cringeworthy
- he may have got the job by stabbing Chris in the back, although he was a bum at the time and desperate
Overall, I think he'll go down along with Roeder. Didn't do much wrong, the supporters are glad and quick to forget them, but a decent solid job was done with what was to hand. Cheers Alan.

I started this thread off, but I still can't believe it's happening.
An unsackable manager going from a secure job, where he's won good breathing space from angry fans, to a place with less income, status, and presently fighting to stay in this league.
And how long do their managers last there?

Can we add the fact that the football has generally been dire even in our good season!
Repetitive tactics that clearly do not work
No its been 50/50. Whenever he has had the players, we've done as well as can be expected in terms of football. Lets not forget Sir Bob was fairly direct at times, never dampened his popularity.
The only thing I can think of is he`s desperate to get away. Read somewhere he`s one of the lowest paid managers in the league.
Many fans have got what they wanted, Pardew goes and so now its down to putting trust in Ashley.
No doubt Ashley has it all in hand and he'll do his best to get the right man in.
As previous managerial appointments have been left-field to say the least, expect no different this time.
I don't hate Pardew, in fact I'd thank him for his time here and wish him well for the future.
But, I'm pleased he's gone, too much water under the bridge for me, he's alienated too many fans whatever anyone says.
Been here too long without achieving anything, and overstayed his welcome.
We have no other option but to put trust in what Ashley will do and get behind whoever he brings in.
No good whining about it if we don't like who he gives us, as we've got what a lot of us wanted.

I think fans from other clubs must be laughing their tits off at us that a good proportion of us are celebrating losing a manager who has done reasonably well with the resources he had, and now face the prospect of getting in someone else from Ashley's circle with no proven track record.
