Bakovnetski Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Maybe Cortese has simply cottoned onto the reality that teams in lower leagues are more often than not promoted when they have 'lower league managers' rather than 'higher league managers' that have dropped down a league it two? Just a thought, mind you... Yeah but Pards has been a lower league manager and been successful in getting promoted. Cotterill was bo**ocks when he tried his hand further up the ladder at Sunderland and managed a staggering 3.5 years at the mighty Burnley.
thorpie the sinner Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Pardew has left St Marys, apparently ah, the old gags!!
dune Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Its 10.50am, if Pards was being sacked, it would have happened by now in my opinion, ala Zola yesterday!!! Constructive meeting in progess hopefully!!! LOL, do you realise how daft that comment is? So if Pardew was going to sacked it would have been done ages ago, i.e yesterday. There is a meeting today apparently so if the upshot is that Pardew is getting sacked it'll hardly be out of line with Zolas dismissal yesterday. It's my view that if AP is to be sacked it'll happen today.

Give it to Ron Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Pardew has left St Marys, apparently Left his jacket in the car....not true just trying to lighten up
Saint_Ash Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 How ridiculous it would be to sack a manager that managed to get 83 points in a season even though the team he was managing failed to any decent amount of points for the first couple of months. I wonder how many points he'll manager with a fit squad high on morale. I'd be surprised if it would be less than 90.
Smirking_Saint Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Pardew has left St Marys, apparently And you got this from where ??
Colinjb Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Pardew has left St Marys, apparently And is off to the training ground no doubt. My word, that's commitment.
Torrent Of Abuse Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Damn. One more out of contention. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8675874.stm I guess he's dumb enough to think he's coaching the Azzurri.
Harry Faz Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 If he is sacked - can only be for things that we arent aware of ie the personal realationship between NC and AP , which means they wont be able to work together through the 5 yr plan. On a footballing basis alone it makes no sense in the short term - we are well set to get promotion next year, changing the manager may improve us , but also as likley , if not more, to set us back in the short term at least.
fish fingers Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 And you got this from where ?? I made it up. Sorry
Toadhall Saint Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Damn. One more out of contention. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8675874.stm I guess he's dumb enough to think he's coaching the Azzurri. Don't know about dumb but bonkers seems to fit.
saintjay77 Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 So what time is this meeting and is there a press conference planned? Has anyone phoned SMS to check yet? Its going back to the old days..... Friday anyone?
paris Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 I'm popping out for some nose bag something will now happen in my absence ...
thegaffer Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 sorry if this has already been posted but according to the Daily Mail Pardew is on his way out and Cotterill fav to come in. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1277623/Alan-Pardew-faces-Southampton-sack-club-line-Steve-Cotterill-replacement.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
alpine_saint Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 This whole situation is completely bonkers and getting worse.... Look, AP hasnt been fired, or we would know about it. If it happens, it happens, life goes on, FFS. He's not Alex-F**king-Ferguson..... Its clear than ML and NC are not going to play patsy with hysterical fans or a malicious media, so give it up and stop getting stressed about it.

miserableoldgit Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 I agree alpine. Has the world gone mad?? This "agreeing with alpine" thing is really catching on! Next thing you know, we`ll have a Con/Lib coalition! Oh!!
thorpie the sinner Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Con-dem alliance you mean!! I have always agreed with Alps, just another passionate supporter!!!!!!!!!!
CWD Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Well its now half 12 and we've heard nothing. That to me is good news. Like someone said earlier, if AP was going to be sacked then the meeting would have lasted 15 mins tops IMO. The longer the day goes on, I am more confident that this has been blown out of all proportion, and that the daily fail is going to look very stupid

Saint J 77 Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 I was out the room but had Sky Sports News on in the background about half hour ago, I thought I heard them say something like reports coming out of ... I wasnt sure if the said St Marys but it sounded like Pardew job is not under threat but I couldnt be sure and then they went on to talk about Fulham. Did anyone else hear this or am I going mad?

Gorgiesaint Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Con-dem alliance you mean!! I have always agreed with Alps, just another passionate supporter!!!!!!!!!! or the Con-Dem nation as one paper put it (happily ripping it off someone of Facebook). Have to say - I also agree with Alps.

SSN had a headline yesterday that Saints had parted company wth their manager. However, it seems that it was St Mirren.

StuRomseySaint Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 *BREAKING NEWS* From my source on the ground, I am able to confirm that the boardroom is infact...... .... still empty. :-)

John Boy Saint Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 All very Swiss keeping all the cards close to their chests, send out info on a need to know basis and sending out the barest minimum. I would imagine that if it was a done deal it would have been out by now. However with all the players having been given their training packages for the summer break, with Rickie adding if it ain't done they will be found out, if AP knew he was destined for the door would he have even bothered to have set this regime in place. We live in a football world where sackings and dismissals have become a spectator sport driven by the media so a none story from back in the very early spring seems to have been through the recycler marked "Chinese Whispers additions". It would be nice to get a statement from the Football Club, but I think we will be waiting quite a while.

Viking Warrior Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 I see Lennie Lawrence has been sacked but is he to be our new DOF? Maybe the boardroom are waiting for him to arrive before announcing it to the world
Winchester Exile Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 It would be nice to get a statement from the Football Club, but I think we will be waiting quite a while. Sorry but I don't agree. If I was NC I wouldn't react to every wild and wacky rumour that you lot, the press and every uncle Tom Cobbly starts. If he did he'd be doing nothing else and not getting any proper work done - like running the club. Whilst I suppose in theory there's nothing wrong with speculating on a board like this, the hysteria on this issue is just ridiculous. Rant over
St Marco Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 So then nothing was happening.... daily echo did the whole pardew to be sacked thing and solent did the meeting thing. Hopefully now these two will do some better researching next time. We are our own worst enemies, we look for things that are not there and over analyse everything that is reported. Enjoy the summer!
John B Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 Sorry but I don't agree. If I was NC I wouldn't react to every wild and wacky rumour that you lot, the press and every uncle Tom Cobbly starts.

Whilst I suppose in theory there's nothing wrong with speculating on a board like this, the hysteria on this issue is just ridiculous. Rant over I agree with what you are saying but a Statement regarding how he feels we are doing against the plan would possibly a good idea Good Communications would really be a good idea surely or do we have to wait until August
September Saint Posted 12 May, 2010 Posted 12 May, 2010 How can AP be leaving when ML has offered him a holiday in Switzerland? Somewhere called Dignitas apparently.
