Poll: Sack Race 16/17

[FrankJH]

We have an equivalent - League 1. The only difference to managing Real Madrid Castilla and someone in League 1 is that at Real Madrid Castilla there isn't a playing budget to work with. In both situations the manager is responsible for picking the team, choosing the players, motivating them and working on the tactics.

There are plenty of top level clubs where the manager, or head coach, doesn't have much say in transfers.

Actually has nothing to do with that, there is no comparison in this country because no club in league 1 has the comparable club structure of Real Madrid etc (which accounts for a great deal)

The likes of Leeds, AV and numerous others have suffered recently because of the issues above the managers head.

Of course just because the board is successfully running the "A" team as it were, doesn't automatically mean it will work for the team lower down but it takes a lot of pressure off (not to mention the scouting etc etc and the name of the club itself will make it easier to attract the "right " players.

IMO that is a huge difference.


In regards to the Bradley decision I still think its incredibly bizarre , but maybe the fact that Giggs has been quoted as saying that he was getting mixed messages from the owners and the management as to why he is seemingly not that bothered about losing out (from the couple of different clips Ive seen of him talking about it)

Merry Christmas Alan

Long overdue. Pardew can go away.

 

[No1newts]

Haha Pardew, go rot.

 

[robfosters]

Footballs just a managerial merry-go-round now.

Probably towards the top of their list.
Quote on the beeb said they'd tried expansive football and it wasn't working so they wanted to go in the other direction.

As a neutral, I never considered Pardew a bad manager.

Palace just got scared and bottled it.

Were many Palace fans asking for it?

As a neutral, I never considered Pardew a bad manager.

As a Newcastle fan, I have to disagree.

Admittedly he had one arm tied behind his back when it came to transfers. However, he inherited a squad from Hughton that was cohesive and working well, tweaked it around the edges and ultimately did sweet **** all but drop us further and further down the table.

He only looks good compared to Carver / McClaren who followed him.

 

[nemtizz]

Shame really. He won't get the chance to relegate them, and he receives a large payout.

I think regardless of any minor, short term success they had any manager in the world deserves to be sacked solely based on these numbers for 2016. Much worse than anything we experienced under him at Newcastle which takes some doing.

DM will be along shortly to tell us how wrong they are to get rid because they were 5th for a week or so. Be careful what you wish for, football fans.

As a season ticket holder, I've been firmly in the Parts out camp, he should have gone after the FA cup final.

 

[NexusK]

Off to the Championship he goes, can't see him getting another PL job now unless Swansea decide to sidegrade.

Pardew left when you were 9th in the table. Cant see how he left you fans short

He was sacked from the three clubs he was at before Newcastle and he was no one's first choice except Mike Ashley.

You only have to look at the stats and analysis of his tenure at Newcastle on sackpardew.com to see how poor he was.

Or read this article, written just before he left, to put things in perspective.

He never got the best out of players and he was tactically inept.

He had a few good runs but the majority of his 'records' were for the wrong reasons. What's more, it wasn't just the results that were mostly poor but the performances as well.

His stint at Crystal Palace has only confirmed the issues above.

 

[Trusty]

Where are Newcastle now though? gone downhill to me..

 

[Tummy]

... Yeh, nothing to do with the staggering incompetence of John Carver or Steve McClaren...

Pardew is a poor manager, and a dreadful person. He might have to consider working in the Championship, though I do not think his ego would like that.

 

[nemtizz]

In the best shape they've been for years. They're beginning to look like an actual football club again with a proper manager and football man in charge.

The division we're currently in is irrelevant when you consider the larger context of appointing Benitez. We'll be back next season but I wouldn't ever trade what we have now with being in the Premier League struggling to survive and serving up ****, gutless performances every weekend with a smiling retard in charge.

Quite right, forget poor results anyone dancing like Peter Andre deserves to be canned.
