Alan Pardew - Poltroon sacked by a forrin team

[Kid Dynamite 7182]

Im sure Ashley has a history of running his decisions past the teams youth players

whose your source Jim Roddy?

 

I actually know jim quite well

 

but no.. he's not my source. there's 2 players in the newcastle squad from derry... both around my age, both went to my school, both i know well.

 

I never knew Nile Ranger was from Derry. Even if you do know two squad members well - which I severely doubt - why would they be privy to the budget/contract for the next manager?

There was a kid in the Newcastle youth set-up who I went to school with and he knew fuck all about what was happening. Stop talking shit. Again.

Won't be just enrique tbh

 

someone comes in and offers 15m for carroll he'll be sold to make way for a few shit long ball system types.

Arfa wont be bought or want to stay tbh, jonas and co will go as well

 

Not fussed about Jonas going, but Colo and Enrique seem to be good mates and more importantly have a good understanding. We've seen how Pardew treats (arguably) world class players, playing absolute shite ahead of them in a relegation run-in, there's no way his appointment will be anything but an unmitigated disaster and I hate it. We could be left with a squad that will struggle in the Championship by the end of the season.

Yes he is saying that because the players do really know fuck all, I hope you're on the wind up again.

Alan pardrew signing a 4 and a half year deal given a budget of 8m, from a VERY reliable source.

£1million per window. Sounds about right tbh.

"The fans are not happy, the players are not happy," Enrique told the Shields Gazette.

 

"It was a big surprise and we haven't been told a thing about why he left or who might come in."

 

He added: "If they are going to fire someone as good as Chris, they have to then bring in a big name, someone who has won trophies.

 

"And that doesn't even mean he will necessarily be better. If they just bring in someone similar, it's a joke."

 

 

Our best player gone tbh

he should be carpeted for that at least. Hope the lost in translation/misquoted is the reason.

Alan Pardew is no 'new Joe Kinnear', his appointment at Newcastle could galvanise the club

 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/...e-the-club.html

 

Last Saturday Alan Pardew was snowed in at his home in the Surrey hills, preventing him taking in Chelsea v Everton. This Saturday he will face a far more formidable obstacle as – if his talks with the club’s board are concluded satisfactorily – he will take charge of Newcastle United as they face Liverpool. It’s been a whirlwind week.

 

Pardew’s expected appointment, following the brutal sacking of Chris Hughton, will be greeted coldly by Newcastle supporters. And that’s putting it mildly.

 

It will have more to do with Hughton’s departure than Pardew himself, although neither does he appear to fit the bill of a big-name manager so often craved at St James’ Park.

 

Interestingly defender Jose Enrique made this point earlier in the week – surely times have changed? - but while some will argue that Pardew is similar to Hughton, they are very different characters.

 

Results will clearly dictate whether Pardew survives or fails but he is also savvy enough, bright enough, street-wise enough and confident enough to understand not only the special nature of the club – and the resonance that exists with his own background - but that he quickly needs to connect with the fans. He will do.

 

Certainly his history would suggest he is up to the task. Beyond the fact – often over-looked – that he is a far better coach, far more innovative manager and has the strength of personality to thrive in the top half of the Premier League – his back-story points to a man equipped to cope with what will be thrown at him.

 

Any suggestion that Newcastle are being presented with a ‘new Joe Kinnear’ is grossly unfair. Pardew , 49, is a very modern manager.

 

He can also sympathise directly with Hughton which will make him tread even more carefully.

 

Pardew’s departures from West Ham United, Charlton Athletic and, most definitely, Southampton earlier this season are heavily-laden with a sense of injustice, of being harshly treated and point to someone with not just a right to feel aggrieved but who can, with his work, motivate and build teams in the right circumstances.

 

At West Ham and Southampton he had to deal with the traumatic fall-out of clubs in freefall while he inherited Charlton at the bottom of the Premier League table.

 

He failed to keep them up because he was deprived of Darren Bent through injury and then, admittedly, struggled to cope as things imploded around him.

 

Maybe he rushed into that job too quickly after being sacked by West Ham. As justified as Hughton will feel that his dismissal was unfair, Pardew will argue that having re-built the Upton Park club, getting them promoted and taking them to an FA Cup Final, he should have been afforded more time than being sacked six months later as the team struggled.

 

There were also, however suggestions that he had allowed that success to go to his head. But, more relevantly, Eggert Magnusson had taken over by then and wanted him out.

 

At Southampton, Pardew inherited just a handful of players left from the squad that was relegated from the Championship and had to quickly knit together a new group and cope with a demoralising 10-point deduction.

 

He did all that and won the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy – Southampton’s first silverware since 1976 – but missed out on the play-offs.

 

It wasn’t good enough for chairman Nicola Cortese and it was clear at the end of last season that Pardew would be sacked. Two days after a 4-0 win against Bristol Rovers in August he was dismissed.

 

It could, therefore, be argued that his treatment at the hands of Magnusson and Cortese will have given him ideal preparation for what might now come under Mike Ashley at Newcastle.

 

A bigger test might be that he will inherit a team with several strong personalities not afraid to express their opinions. It’s not a re-building job at St James' Park, but a re-ordering one involving a more subtle approach. But he can galvanise the club.

 

Pardew is not naïve. He has said that the strength of his managerial career is his “strength of mind” having come to professional football late - he was 25 when he signed his first contract at Crystal Palace, a dream move realised three months after the death of his football-mad father, Harry, from throat cancer.

 

Before that Pardew worked as an apprentice glazer in the City of London, an experience that also helped sharpen his tongue. He is not often lost for words which has also helped him pick up media work in between managerial jobs.

 

More importantly, it gave him a world-view which he has taken into management. Pardew likes to explore the "psychological side" of football and examines other sports, especially American football, comparing the Green Bay Packers, with its “working-class roots” to West Ham. He will have a similar point of reference at Newcastle.

 

Sounds canny. Makes you wonder what all the fuss is about.

Best manager of my lifetime tbh

How does that work exactly?

The club wouldnt want galvanising if he hadn't fucking come.
