Thread: Alan Pardew

  1. #1

    Alan Pardew

    Sacked. I know they're 17th in the Premiership, but it seems to me he's done well to keep them in the top flight. Merry bloody Christmas..
    Other's probably know better than me, but he's always seemed to be a decent manager, even at Newcastle where a lot of the fans seemed to hate him.

    Only won 6 times this calendar year. Got the least points/per game ration in 2016 aswell. Getting to the FA cup final papered the cracks.

    Also spent more than teams around him in the summer and they are garbage.

    Cant really have too many complaints, however, its very poor timing to sack a manager 3 days before Christmas.

    As a Newcastle fan it comes as no surprise. He's useless.

    I don't see him being at the point of selling the Big Issue so I wouldn't worry about him.

    Sorry that anyone loses their job near Christmas or not but he comes across as a complete and utter roaster of a man.

    Him and The Breadman must be related in some way.

    Didn't he get Newcastle something like 6th place and higher than chelsea in the league ? Dunno why he was disliked that much at Newcastle they have had by far worse managers.

    He started fairly well.

    Most managers would struggle to come back from a run of 15 defeats in 21 games and a terrible start to the following season though. His derby record wasn't great and overall he lost more games than he won as manager.

    He will resurface somewhere else. Won't be long until Holloway gets hooked from QPR for not delivering miracles.

    He had 1 good season out of 4 carried by 2 players in the form of their life.

    Can't stand the guy; he's a total roaster. He'll soon get another club; the same old failures in the old boys network always do.

    He always comes across as a bit arrogant, when he's done nothing in his management career to warrant it?

    I don't mind Pardew and despite league position, think Big Sam would be a poor appointment. They don't strike me as a club that needs saving just need a talented group of players to improve, that's not what Sam is about.

    Pardew.......... arrogant pratt.. The sort of guy you take an instant dislike to, even before he opens his mouth.

  21. #20
    I personally thought he did pretty well at Newcastle. Whenever they had a bad bit of form he always seemed to turn it around. Considering how competitive the premier league is I think he's a decent manager.

    The situation with managers in the EPL is just ridiculous. However Pardew can GTF. He's a complete roaster and comes out the same bread bin of fuddery as warburton.

    Worst derby record in newcastle history and also most consecutive defeats in newcastle history, a complete fraud of a manager.

    I actually think they have a decent squad of players and with the right manager think they will end up mid table.

    Never liked Allardyce but he'll get a team with Benteke, Zaha, Townsend, Cabaye etc scoring goals and staying in EPL.

    Football Managers eh.

    Bit like Sheriff Officers, parking wardens, Govan polis, professional politicians, and paedophiles.

    As a group they just do nothing for me, but there's bound to be one in there that isn't just an oxygen thief and a threat to normal people.

    Actually, that may be a bit O T T and I apologise for any offence.

    Govan polis have no redeeming features at all.

    I think the paedophile comment is the one I'd be retracting first...

    Apparently he won 26 PL points this calendar year. Middlesbrough have won 18 since August.

    Arrogant twat, remember the attempted head butt on Hull's Meyler, so little class.
