St Marco Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 With all the rumours flying around with Celtic and others interested, NC potentially not happy etc.. it would be good to see what the fans think now the season has ended. So based on our performance this year under Pardew would you want him to stay on? My answer yes, without a shadow of a doubt!
doddisalegend Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 For sure, I would be right royally ****ed off if we lost AP best manager we have had in years.
Tartarus112 Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 Not particularly bothered either way tbh. If he's stays that's fine but we could get better managers with the money we've got. You've got to ask though 'what's Pardew done that no other manager could have done in the same situation?' Imo not that much more.
saint_stevo Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 having been someone who has continually questioned AP this season, and someone who is not his biggest fan, the past 3 months or so have really impressed me. Hope he stays.
Gator Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 no doubt in my mind that he will become our new Lawrie Mac.
Tractor_Saint Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 Can't a mod make this a poll then? When I entered this thread I was majorly disappointed that I couldn't choose from a vast list of options. BTW - I vote "Yes Yes Yes"
John B Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 With all the rumours flying around with Celtic and others interested, NC potentially not happy etc.. it would be good to see what the fans think now the season has ended. So based on our performance this year under Pardew would you want him to stay on? My answer yes, without a shadow of a doubt! It is quite irrelevant whether I want Pardew to stay it is NC's decision But there is nothing real at the moment to suggest that NC is going to sack Pardew or Pardew wants to leave but that of course may change
Tony F Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 Manager builds team that will play to his style and method. Manager then leaves. This is a bad scenario....however we can cheer up cos its not Saints scenario. YES he's staying and next season the message is HANG ON FOR THE RIDE :-)
NickG Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 yes very good manager done very well players like him fans like him he likes it here
Saint_clark Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 I have to say, it would feel much more like "our" Saints if Pardew was sacked and we had another season of rebuilding.
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 I'd be surprised if AP goes but experience has shown that the only truly predictable aspect of our great game is its very unpredictability . Reading the signs something does seem to be 'up' as they say , and if Alan Pardew pays the ultimate price for our failure to achieve promotion this season then I'm quite sure a top quality replacement will be signed up before very long . If a football club manager finds himself in conflict with his Chairman and/or Owner then let's face it , there's only going to be one winner .
Ewell Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 A resounding YES! For all their millions sacking managers hasn't got QPR into the play offs let alone the Premiership. Continually sacking and changing your manager does not work, we have seen that in the past under Lowe. Let Pardew finish building his team and finish the job he has started. We have made great progress since our poor start. Who would have said we would end the season as we have after those first 10 matches. Next year we will win this league if we keep faith in Pardew!
dune Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 If a football club manager finds himself in conflict with his Chairman and/or Owner then let's face it , there's only going to be one winner . This. Nicola Cortese and Markus Liebherr are far more important to SFC than AP. If NC does decide he cannot work with AP then we must accept it and move on.
paulwantsapint Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 Pardew has got to stay unless someone offers us stupidly high amounts of money for his services & we can get another manager manager of equal ability
sidthesquid Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 i think he has done a brilliant job. He has a real eye for a player & I sincerely hopes he stays
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 This. Nicola Cortese and Markus Liebherr are far more important to SFC than AP. If NC does decide he cannot work with AP then we must accept it and move on. Agree, we have no real say in the matter, I just hope that there is no meat to any of these conspiracy theories and that AP stays.
Bailey Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 A categorical yes. I find it amazing that there should be any question marks around his future. He's turned this club around in one season and has built some solid foundations, ready to push on next season.
Pip Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 Yes. The only reason we are having this debate is because he is a victim of his own success. 9 months ago we'd have been pleased with a mid table finish but because we did so well and got to within spitting distance of the play offs he has mysteriously "failed".
John B Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 This. Nicola Cortese and Markus Liebherr are far more important to SFC than AP. If NC does decide he cannot work with AP then we must accept it and move on. Unfortunately you are quite correct
rick1976.4.38 Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 pardew is here now and next season.he will get us out of this league.enjoy next season its going to be fun.alan pardews red and white army
saintjinksie Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 no, he is a poor tactician and gets found out against well organised teams. TBH, i described his appointment as average in august and he has done nothing to make me change my mind.
saints-cris Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 Course i do. Hes done a brilliant job, and it would be a discrase if he got sacked. He deserves til at least xmas next season.. which is what he was promised?!
70's Mike Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 Yes and i would ask all those who talk about replacing him with a better manager on who they are thinking off and why
Arizona Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 Looks like common sense is shining through in the poll. MUST stay.
chrisobee Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 Looks like common sense is shining through in the poll. MUST stay. Yay, maybe sense is more common on this forum than I gave credit for
MarkSFC Posted 8 May, 2010 Posted 8 May, 2010 I find all the talk about AP possibly being replaced indicative of the "want everything yesterday" world we live in! 10 months ago we didn't even have a club for sure and although the appointment was met with an underwhelming excitement (probably partly to do with the rumours of "bigger" names such as Keegan) IMHO he has done fantastic job and more importantly will continue to do so for years to come. Managers just like most people in life get better at what they do over time. His history at other clubs both good and not so good make him what he is. We have WON 83 points, 5th best in the league and only 3 off 2nd. Considering every other club had weeks and weeks of more preparation, the situation he came into at the club then he has done as good if not better than any other manager in the league - Paul Lambert excluded. The years of changing manager for whatever reason eventually cost us dearly and after such an exciting and enjoyable season anyone who thinks we should change now really is short-sighted. Let's reflect on a foundation season that will allow this club to be built back up to a force in thr Premiership....with Alan Pardew in charge!
