Nineteen Canteen Posted 20 July, 2009 Share Posted 20 July, 2009 Sorry Ducan, don't often read your posts and disagree but I have to with this one. It makes not one IOTA of difference where he lives just as long as he puts in the effort and the hours to turn the club around. I feel that's it a pretty small minded attitude that says he needs to live within spitting distance of the club. When I used to live in the UK, my home was in Bournemouth, my office was in London and my customers could be anywhere from Lands end to John O'groats and in Ireland. Didn't make me any less committed to doing my job well. Maybe so, but your job did not rely on having an idea about the feeling/desires of the local community. Same applies to MP's who are given winnable seats to ensure they get a seat in the next parliament but have little or no idea about that local community. Any job that is intrinsicly linked to the local community should imply that the individual could do their job with greater backing and a greater level of understanding if they joined that community and lived locally. Southampton and its environs are not exactly Canning Town, Plumstead or Inner City Reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedAndWhite91 Posted 20 July, 2009 Share Posted 20 July, 2009 Give him a chance, he's only been technically in charge since this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewell Posted 20 July, 2009 Share Posted 20 July, 2009 Pardew lives in the Reigate area. He has been spotted at the cinema and in and around the pubs\restaurants here plenty of times. As I work in Reigate I will be keeping an eye out for him to advise and let him know where he is going wrong! It is commutable but would be a fairly long one.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 20 July, 2009 Share Posted 20 July, 2009 Like Gary Glitter. Err, no. GG had a 'friend' who lived in the area - did not live here himself. And he got run out of town anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordswoodsaints Posted 20 July, 2009 Author Share Posted 20 July, 2009 More like Upper Lordshill!!!! I know Lordswood and depsite how he likes to come across he is rather posh!!!!!! Thanks for blowing my cover mate,it's taken me years to lose the posh accent :-) But contrary to popular belief I was dragged up in a council house in Lordswood and I think it is only right that pardew should live amongst the unwashed,not only will he feel the same pain as us when things go wrong but he will also see the passion first hand. There's nothing like a passionate saints fan to keep you focused.......just ask Beattie:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 20 July, 2009 Share Posted 20 July, 2009 Sorry Ducan, don't often read your posts and disagree but I have to with this one. It makes not one IOTA of difference where he lives just as long as he puts in the effort and the hours to turn the club around.

When I used to live in the UK, my home was in Bournemouth, my office was in London and my customers could be anywhere from Lands end to John O'groats and in Ireland. Didn't make me any less committed to doing my job well. No need to apologise Paul. I think the difference with football managers they often have late night duties (reserve, youth games etc) and getting home to their beds and families at the end of the day make them happier and more stable which in turn makes him more effective the next day. Living in a hotel or long commuting takes its toll and as I regard the manager to be the most important person at a football club these days it is good to know they themselves are domestically happy in their set up. Less time worrying about hold ups on the M3 and all that and more time spent at Staplewood planning our next big signing or spotting talent in the Academy.

Dicko Posted 20 July, 2009 Share Posted 20 July, 2009 Does anyone know where his family house is? If it's south of London, which I assume it is with having managed West Ham & Charlton, commuting to Southampton isn't a huge problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Block 5 Posted 20 July, 2009 Share Posted 20 July, 2009 I heard that whilst Poortvliet was manager he lived in Whiteparish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dune Posted 20 July, 2009 Share Posted 20 July, 2009 Ideally he'll live locally and take a leaf out of Gordon Strachans book by visiting the bars where players drink. James Beattie and Kevin Davis and then BWP were a problem. What's the situation like now as regards Saints players on the lash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint lard Posted 20 July, 2009 Share Posted 20 July, 2009 Err, no. GG had a 'friend' who lived in the area - did not live here himself. And he got run out of town anyway!

INFLUENCED.COM Posted 23 July, 2009 Share Posted 23 July, 2009 What's the situation like now as regards Saints players on the lash? They are generally found outside off licences asking adults to buy them some cider !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRobbie Posted 23 July, 2009 Share Posted 23 July, 2009 I would like to think that if he is here for the long term then he should move to the area to show that he is commited. Unless of course he already lives nearby. It's more like the old SaintsforEver forum every day! How many times did this one get debated 6 years or so ago?
