Christmas Tree 4725 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 What do you make of his "inside knowlegde" CT...theres stuff in there you can only get from having a good relationship with the staff at the club you're covering. Its hardly earth shattering stuff, but you know its been sanctioned from the changing room. Access like that has to be worked on and you dont get it by slaughtering the manager. That's my point. He's not going to do a balanced Pardew piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44879 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Best we come on here and read your stuff if we want a balanced view. You're balanced in the sense that you sit on both sides of the argument simultaneously, like a great big fat pair of twins on a seesaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17259 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) That's my point. He's not going to do a balanced Pardew piece. Bird said Pardew has fucked certain things up this season in his piece, dont think anyone would disagree with him or you on that. What you then get is Pardew's take on these things such as the set piece thing etc etc...his piece is balanced, you appear to want a hatchet job. Not going to happen.

He talks about "tactics tweaked". He highlights a lot of the problems but falls shirt of saying where the blame lies. Just look at his sunderland bit. Alan noticed the poor work rate so worked on it for the West Brom game!!! It's been missing most of the season man. It's not Pardews fault we have been crap at set pieces it's that we need more big men in the summer. It's all excuses and bollocks. It's not a case of what sort of article I would like, it's a case of if he's going to tackle the issue he should do it properly not feeding shit like the two examples I gave. Given they need to stay onside they would be better off leaving alone altogether . Pardew could have written that (possibly did) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changes need to be made, tactics tweaked, attitudes sharpened up.They do not deserve fickle supporters calling for root and branch upheaval of the management team. is basically implicit criticism of Pardew. He makes those calls, but Bird stops short of caliing him personally fuckin useless as he wants to maintain a relationship.

You dont understand what you stated in the first place. You said it was unbalanced, as a piece of journalism its plainly not. I happen to agree with some of the points you make, but one mans excuse is another mans valid point. We're allowed to say "no thats bollocks Alan". Whether we can than back it up is another question. But the point remains. the article balances crticism,reasons and the journo's own conclusions. We're allowed to disagree with the reasons, thats fine.

Tooj 17 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I'm not sure in all honesty but I think it suites people's agenda against Ashley to say that he wouldn't offer a manager more than what Pardew is currently on. Look at the evolution of our signings for that to be proven. People also kept on saying that Ashley wouldn't pay whatever Coloccini wanted to sign a new contract and he did.

BigWalrus 0 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 yes because contract details are never leaked or speculated on and we might be willing to buy ronaldo , but history and current deals dispute that. Currently we haven't and i don't see why it should change hence my point. do you see us offering around treble what he's on now, so about 3million a year for someone? (which is what Moyes is on or Redknapp is on at QPR for example) Pardew's basic is very low, but he has a very generous performance related element to his deal. If he finished in the top 5 again, he'd easily be earning £3m per year, without a shadow of a doubt. If he finishes in 17th place, his bonus will be virtually nothing and his pay packet will reflect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simples, that would take up valuable time and after various exchanges Pardew would still be a mediocre manager. Futility.

DubiousBobcat 0 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I must say, whether I like Pardew's tactics or not (and most on the board would have to scratch their heads at times) I would take stability in management any day over swapping managers every 5 minutes. Pardew can and will improve. The players can and will improve (Obertan with exception). I'd rather see that with stability over chopping and changing.

Renton 21624 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Which players have improved under Pardew this season? This is one of my concerns. Is it maybe none? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I wouldn't expect any significant improvement from players, given that half of them have been injured for long spells. Improvement comes with stability and familiarity of surroundings. We've been ravaged by injury this season and its not allowed us to play a settled side for any length of time. You know its been a bad one when you lose your keeper through two separate injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
