ewerk 31229 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 How often does one PL club let their manager move to another PL club mid-season? In my tired state I can't think of too many recent moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEADMAN 0 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 yea and if pardew goes to palace there's rumours circulating that Bruce is taking over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 3116 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Pardew's leaving? Holy shit. This is like 10 new signings. Edited December 30, 2014 by toonotl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 A player manager fucks sake, should drop Alnwick and play fog man back while we're on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35616 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Ben Arfa will be pleased I'm guessing this means pedro wasn't interested in the job, which was always what I'd heard in the past, ie the academy bring the limit of his ambition.

Kitman 2207 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I wonder why Pardew has decided to go to Pace, having previously sneered at it. Perhaps he was told by Ashley he was goingin the summer come what may? I have in mind Ashleys comments to that journo outside a pub about getting shot of Pardew...I never thought he was joking.

Kitman 2207 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 or at least Pardew was told his position would be under fret... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46093 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I just think he's finally had enough, he's realised that there's really nothing for him at Newcastle but limitations and grief from the fans. The idea that Palace is a step down is no longer really true, given the ceiling on any sort of ambition at Newcastle. So the fact that he can get paid more, live in London, move away from the completely broken relationship that he has with the fans and probably the owner, must seem pretty attractive. It's the first time he can have felt in control of his destiny for ages. I bet he feels like a new man. None of which is to say that he didn't deserve the position he currently finds himself in at NUFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a combination of less pressure and more money. Ex-player as well. The latter being less of a factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoCo85 0 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Reckon Colo has a big say in the team anyway. Hopefully we will start seeing a team that will take the game to the opponents now as opposed to counterattacking hit and hope football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5311 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Is Colo really going to be able to go toe to toe with other managers in this league though? Pardew was generally a dismal manager, but he at least managed to outsmart some of the bigger names from time to time.

Aye, he'll also probably have a much greater say in the transfer dealings and strut around the place like the King that he is rather than a bit of a hollow one that he was up here. The way results were going it was only a matter of time before Ashley chucked him anyway, I reckon one more flirt with relegation and he'd have been out the door and he probably knew it.

We got some good results but I can't remember many of them being because of Pardew showing himself as some sort of master tactician capable of outsmarting opposition managers.

Even if he did manage it he got made a complete fool of with some of his tactical decisions far more often. Far too many 5-0, 4-0 and 3-0 howkings tbh, we rarely manage a 2-0 win let alone giving other teams a good hiding under him the blokes a fucking embarrassment.

OTF 7496 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 The club is being paid for Pardew when we all would have happily sacked him and paid some level of compensation. Mike Ashley, master of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Ashley, master of business. Well no, Ashley didn't tactically wait for Palace to sack Warnock did he? He should be on the stage if he knew what was going to happen this week. It's the same reason Ashley still owns there club, there's not a buyer out there, there was for Pardew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
