ozzmeister Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 (edited) ...and their vacant managers post. Would they be interested in Pardew and if so would Pards realise he's onto a good thing here although it may take him a bit longer to get back into the Prem? Just noticed my poor spelling in the title (early morning) - MODS help out - why is there not an option for a thread owner to not edit titles anyway?) Edited 21 October, 2009 by ozzmeister title spelling
shurlock Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Frankly, I would be more worried if i was a leicester fan. Big Nige seems to tick all the right boxes for the job.
rallyboy Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 did cross my mind, I'd like to think he's put so much into the last few months that it's going too well to walk away from. Also a team that is right up there with a good chance of promotion will be besieged by everyone including Tony Adams, Roy Keane, Rafa Benitez and Paul Hart (next week for the last three)
Paul Chuckle Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 I don't think Pardew would move all the way up there for a job, if you think he has alwayas managed down south. If the Reading manager loses his job i'd be more concerned, i know he left them for West Ham but I think they'd be interested in him
rooney Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 I do not think Pards would go up to the wet & cold north, where this club has not had a great reputation in the past as big spenders on really good players. This is what they will need to do to get back in the Premiership at the end of the season.
sandwichsaint Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Never say never, but I'd be very surprised if AP walked out on Saints in the next 2-3 years. He's got everything he needs here and is on the verge of building something really good, with all the fan and boardroom support he will ever need.
Doctoroncall Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 I'm not sure he'd want to jump ship after only three months. He's building something good here and he has the resources to achieve great things.
Harry Faz Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 I think Pardew is here to build something over a longer term, and this isnt about getting promoted to the CCC, this is a journey that takes us to being an established premiership team. He has owners with the funds and the vision to achieve that, and a club with the facilities and fan-base. He has just built the squad he needs to achieve the first objective. This is a rare opportunity in Football. So for me , unless one of the more established premiership teams come knocking, any move will not better where he is now. I hope im right.
OldNick Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 I would have thought AP has been there and done it and rewalises that the grass is not always greener. Id be amazed if he walked from us to another job.
merrimd Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 AP is also rebuilding his reputation here. The better he does with us, the bigger his next job. If (sorry, when) we get to the CCC, he will be looking for a Prem job I think. I would say Boro is too small a club, too early in his rebuild.
SuperSAINT Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 I was concerned... But having people like Curbishley, Coppell & Strachan being out of work eases my fears, somewhat.
DT Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 They must have someone lined up. Keegan? Strachan?
Danish Saint Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 I think Pardew is here to build something over a longer term, and this isnt about getting promoted to the CCC, this is a journey that takes us to being an established premiership team.

Second.... and also hope you're right!
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 I think Pardew has a lot of unfinished business here, and dont believe he would leave for a second.
stevegrant Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Strachan and Pearson will be the favourites, I'd have thought. Doubt Pardew's even on their radar at the moment.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Frankly, I would be more worried if i was a leicester fan. Big Nige seems to tick all the right boxes for the job. As I said yesterday...... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showpost.php?p=480396&postcount=49
shurlock Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 I think Pardew has a lot of unfinished business here, and dont believe he would leave for a second. More unstarted business
alpine_saint Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 We need to get used to this pretty damned quick. 3 or 4 more PL teams and probably the same amount of CCC teams will lose their managers by the end of this season. I am reasonably satisfied that AP knows he is on to a good thing here, and that there are enough other bright young guns available to distract these teams attention from him.
Badger Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 I'd be more concerned if it were a London club seeking a manager.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Circle of life Pearson to Boro Leicester will then go to Leeds for Simon Grayson Leeds will then appoint Dennis Wise (again) or GS appointed and no more movements
topsteward Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 poor attendance at boro is to blame really according to ssn. just goes what support we have.
saintbletch Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Strachan and Pearson will be the favourites, I'd have thought. Doubt Pardew's even on their radar at the moment. Strachan was called out by an ex-'Boro pro on Radio 5 this morning as a name that had been mentioned amongst those close to the club. But he then qualified that by questioning whether Strachan would want the job.
SaintDonkey Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Strachan was called out by an ex-'Boro pro on Radio 5 this morning as a name that had been mentioned amongst those close to the club. But he then qualified that by questioning whether Strachan would want the job. I work with a couple of smoggies. The talk is all about Strachan, so it won't be him then
dubai_phil Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 More worried about Liverpool tbf.... No value for him in Boro, his roots are more southern anyway and would expect the Boro job to go to someone more "northern" in outlook... But Benitez's job comes up? hmmm any manager on the planet would look at that one even WITH their offfield troubles
Scummer Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 More worried about Liverpool tbf....

But Benitez's job comes up? hmmm any manager on the planet would look at that one even WITH their offfield troubles Liverpool aren't going to appoint a manager from second to bottom of league 1.

But Benitez's job comes up? hmmm any manager on the planet would look at that one even WITH their offfield troubles With all due respect to Pards, I don't think Liverpool, if the times comes, will be looking at a newly appointed Leauge 1 manager. Which is good for us! Liverpool will be able to attract a host of managers, even the ones allready employed at top-tier teams all over Europe. Don't think Pards would get a sniff, IMHO.
opthomps Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 i think pardew will only be leaving if he gets us into the upper echelons of the champoinship, and by that time would prob only go to a decent prem club, so im not worried about him leaving any time soon. He wont be applying, and they won't be approaching imho
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 They must have someone lined up. Keegan? Strachan? Coppell?
RonManager Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 I saw Tony Adams briefly on the Arsenal highlights last night. He was clearly mouthing 'I'm the new Liverpooll/Middlesbrough manager - they've been after me for ages'
SW11_Saint Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 No. But they are interested in two ex-Saints managers according to BBC, Strachan and Pearson. No surprise Pearson is attracting attention - his abilities were there for all to see (well, all but one person... Doh! said I'd stop harking back to that man...). http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/middlesbrough/8317621.stm
Greenridge Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 I'm not sure he'd want to jump ship after only three months. He's building something good here and he has the resources to achieve great things. Agree entirely and coupled with the fact he has a somewhat tarnished reputation to rebuild I think he will stay for the 'project'
once_bitterne Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Coppell? I've heard it will be Pulis...... and even if it falls through they will still be obliged to sign Pulis Jnr from us. (it's how these thing work)
Third Division South Days Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 I'm going for Keegan. Is it just a coincidence that his dispute with Newcastle is resolved and the sacking announced within hours of each other?
S-Clarke Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 He won't get yet. But it is always a worry when you have a successful team and you're in the third division. It's always hard to resist the overtures of higher division clubs. Let's just hope we get promoted quickly and can get back amongst the higher division clubs..
ottery st mary Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Pardew is at a very big club already.....We are on the way back. Middlesborough should consider those two Dutch boyzz..JP and Wotte....It might just work one day.....
Greenridge Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Pardew is at a very big club already.....We are on the way back. Middlesborough should consider those two Dutch boyzz..JP and Wotte....It might just work one day..... Trouble is they must both be at top European clubs at the moment and it would cost too much to buy them out of their lucrative long term contracts I guess.
Cabrone Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Can't see AP leaving for Boro. We are on the up and they are drifting. AP has been given the chance to resurrect a big club back to where it belongs - the premiership. He's working under a cash rich guy who seems to have his head screwed on the right way and seems to have all faith in AP. He'd be mad to switch to Boro.
Doctoroncall Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Pardew is at a very big club already.....We are on the way back. Middlesborough should consider those two Dutch boyzz..JP and Wotte....It might just work one day..... Actually that would be interesting to see... but obviously not from a boro fan's point of view!
Under Weststand Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 I don't think we've anything to worry about AP knows he is on a good thing here, he has been given a clean canvass here & is able to re-build a club from the foundations upwards along with NC. I'd be more worried if I was Leicester City supporter today as NP ticks all the right boxes for Middlesborough, if NP is offered the job who would you rather work for Gibson or Mandric?? not a difficult choice realy is it.
dello Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 just been down to ladbrokes and stuck 20 quid on pearson at 14/1.....decent bet at those odds....strachan is 1/5...
krissyboy31 Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 just been down to ladbrokes and stuck 20 quid on pearson at 14/1.....decent bet at those odds....strachan is 1/5... Mandric has told SSN that Pearson is not in the running. He also said they're talking to Edgar Davids, with a view to signing him.
September Saint Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Coppell? Will Copell return to Reading? It's only a question of time before Madjeski shows Brendon Rodgers the door
Fan The Flames Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 To sack him after a win, means they must have someone lined up and if Strachan is such an odds on favourite then something is known.
Supersubpuckett Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Boro is a depressing toilet of a place - quite why anyone would want to work there is beyond me.
dello Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Mandric has told SSN that Pearson is not in the running. He also said they're talking to Edgar Davids, with a view to signing him. he would say that though wouldn't he...also am pretty sure the davids signing is mandaric's idea and not pearson's...showing off to his mates....can't see it happening
Badger Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Trouble is they must both be at top European clubs at the moment and it would cost too much to buy them out of their lucrative long term contracts I guess. Perhaps they will buy themselves out of their own contracts.
Window Cleaner Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 To sack him after a win, means they must have someone lined up and if Strachan is such an odds on favourite then something is known. Strachan always ends up odds on favourite for any job that's going. He is the bookies favourite pot-boiler. People always put money on him whether he's interested in the job or not.Middlesborough will probably end up with some half-baked third choice manager.Why they sacked Southgate when they're fourth in the table and a point off the automatic places,both occupied by fellow descendees,sure beats me.Can only be about money
dello Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 As I said yesterday...... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showpost.php?p=480396&postcount=49 who tipped you off on this?!!.....my mate is a leicester fan and is shi*ting himself...
Rory Posted 21 October, 2009 Posted 21 October, 2009 Boro is a depressing toilet of a place - quite why anyone would want to work there is beyond me. This may be true but it has the best indie club I've ever been to in terms of the Empire. If I were Pardew, I would be tempted because of this.
