paulwantsapint Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 If posted elsewhere remove Big thanks Alan Pardew some of the results were not good many results were good some of the results were great very big thanks for 28th march result & performance Good luck in the future ( as long as not at saints expense )
RobM Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Huge thanks and all the best. I think we were heading in the right direction, even if it wasn't as quick as I'd have liked in my red and white brain. But thanks for everything and good luck with whatever you do next
itchen_dan Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Fully agree, Good Luck Pards! One of the best managers I've seen in the transfer market and thanks for the great JPT performance last year. Ok, the tactics weren't the best at times but I believe he would've got us promoted this season Thanks!
Colinjb Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Thankyou for some of the most consistently enjoyable moments I've known from a Saints team in my lifetime Pards. Good luck in the future.
Deppo Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 I have written a poem for Alan, a man I consider a friend: The hardest part of any friendship is when it is time to say goodbye, and even though I wished I could make you stay, I know I got to let you spread your wings and fly. For life is a journey that needs to be travelled and I am certain you'd make it through, I just want you to know and never forget that I will surely miss you. So follow your heart and never give up, as dreams and wishes do come true, for I know that someday we'll meet again, so never forget I will be praying for you.
Junior Mullet Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 AP will have the last laugh unfortunately.
shurlock Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 AP will have the last laugh unfortunately. Like the charlton fans.
Vershinin Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Cheers Pards. Thanks for letting us see Saints win games again for the first time in a while and Wembley.
ericofarabia Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 The way things are going at WHU maybe he'll get the job back at his spiritual home when they see the light and get rid ofthe prossie using Shrek. Thanks Alan for everything you've done at the club from top to bottom. This time last year we were totally devoid of any confidence, self belief and footballing ability. You got rid of the deadwood, got in a good backroom staff and things are most certainly on the way up. Wishing you all the best at whichever club is lucky enough to snap you up. Thanks for bringing back a smile to the faces of long suffering Saints fans.
Winchester_Saint Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Thank you Alan, you built us up from a complete mess when you took over and, although Cortese obviously expects miracles, you did a really good job, signed some great players and gave us a terrific cup win. Last season was one of the most enjoyable in a long time and you did not deserve to be sacked. Best wishes for the future.
spyinthesky Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 In my personal opinion AP did a decent job and had the majority of fans on his side. He did, of course, benefit from a large war chest but had to overcome many of the poor management from the previous (mis) management However, by all accounts, AP appeared to be a 'dead man walking' more or less from the time he was appointed. I wonder if Cortese was involved in his appointment?
Asaint4ever Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Yep good post. Thanks AP for a great day out at wembley. And some great signing to which I hope we keep.
del boy Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Thanks and best wishes. Nice to see Saints winning again, I'd almost forgotten. Please don't come back and nick our best players
pele Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 All the best Alan and his staff! I do fear that if and when we achieve this aim of The Premiership what do we do then settle for Bolton mediocrity? Why do we attract dictators it's like supporting an African/South American despot!
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Thanks for what you achieved in a short spell of time. You gave us back our dignity and confidence. Good luck with wherever your career takes you.
sadoldgit Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Sorry to see him go. The wrong person has left the club.
gaz Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Absolutely gutted to see him go, he was the man for the plan for me. I expect him to be back in management at Prem or Champ level sometime this season, he's that good.
ottery st mary Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Top Manager.........Thank you Pards for some great times.... Also thank you to Downes and Murdoch.... Dean Wilkins now is he staying ready for the arrival of Ray ....nah can't see Butch leaving Chelsea... Good Luck Pards..
Dr Octopus Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Thanks Alan, Personally I don't think your 54% win ratio was bad.
saint_bert Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Cheers Alan. Thanks for turning Adam Lallana into our best player and signing Rickie Lambert. Good Luck As an aside heres the Charlton fans reaction http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=36533&page=1#Item_0
Crab Lungs Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Cheers Alan. Thanks for turning Adam Lallana into our best player and signing Rickie Lambert. Good Luck As an aside heres the Charlton fans reaction http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=36533&page=1#Item_0 I ****ing hate Charlton fans. They talk of Pardew having an ego, what about them? Yeah, good job on booing Curbishley out of a job, f()cking morons. Arrogant ones too...
SaintNeil90 Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Thanks Pardew... would also like to apologise for our chairmen, if it was up to us fans, you would still be here.
eesti matty Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Thanks for the good times. You've been very harshly treated. Good luck for the future.
mickyp Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 thanks generall sad you gone, there is a time when a manager has had his time at a club but this was not the case with you at mo. Good luck and bring in the next mug
Deppo Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 My one regret is that I never got to tell him how much I love him
SuperMikey Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Cheers Alan. Thanks for turning Adam Lallana into our best player and signing Rickie Lambert. Good Luck As an aside heres the Charlton fans reaction http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=36533&page=1#Item_0 Charlton fans really are a load of c*nts aren't they? Aside from that, thanks for a great time last season Alan, the JPT final was amazing and will live in my memory forever.
Nexstar Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Huge thanks to Alan, particularly for the day out at Wembley, shame he didn't get more time - could have gone far.
Docker Walker6 Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 One of the Best Managers we have had, said it how it was, unlike some of the previous incumbents we have had recently. Good Luck and many thanks for leaving us with an excellent squad!!
Stu Man Do Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Thanks Pards. The last year has included some of my fave memories of Southampton FC. Shocking decision to get rid of you best of luck in the future!
MarkSFC Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Thanks Alan Pardew.....you have helped to revitalise our team and gave us a decent season with a brilliant day out at Wembley....that can never be taken away from you. I have had the feeling though that something wasnt right for a little while so maybe something has gone on behind the scenes. Good luck to him but I am sure will be stronger for this tough decision.....
S-Clarke Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Thanks Pards - you didn't deserve to go out the way you did, but you still brought me one of my best saints supporting days. Good manager, we'll do well to replace him with anyone better.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 I find it funny to see Aston Villa fans on twitter saying he'd be a good appointment and that they could do a lot worse. Not good enough for League One, but good enough for Premier League? Good luck Pards, and thankyou.
silversaint Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Gutted. Cheers Pards, your a true footballing gent and I hope you succeed in anything and everything you do in the future.
solentstars Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 thanks alan you started the process of renewal at this club and did not deserve to be treated like dirt, a real gentleman andi,m sure you will get another top job soon.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 I ****ing hate Charlton fans. They talk of Pardew having an ego, what about them? Yeah, good job on booing Curbishley out of a job, f()cking morons. Arrogant ones too... This. They always seem to have a 'problem' with us for some reason. Muppets. Cheers Alan, the JPT final was my greatest day as a Saints fan. I tiwll be interesting to hear what Pardew has to say if any statement from him is released...
saint_bert Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 This. They always seem to have a 'problem' with us for some reason. Muppets. Cheers Alan, the JPT final was my greatest day as a Saints fan. I tiwll be interesting to hear what Pardew has to say if any statement from him is released... Bet there is some hush money in with his payoff
Bishop Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Enjoyed last season more than any other for a long time, thanks alan
itchen_dan Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Been on SSN all morning, and they keep showing his record as boss Played - 64 Won - 34 Drew - 17 Lost - 13 Win % - 53% That isn't bad to be fair, how many other managers have had that good of a win % at Saints?
BridgnorthSaint Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 A Great Manager in my opinion. I felt very optimistic for this season - Good luck Alan and thanks
Judge_B Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Thanks Alan, appreciate what you did for us and sorry for the way you were ultimately treated. Thank you
Um Bongo Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Pardew was in charge for 64 games - We lost just 13 of them. Good luck finding someone who can do better!
norwaysaint Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 My one regret is that I never got to tell him how much I love him He knew, Deppo. He knew.
Kaiser Soze Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Cheers Alan, most notably for day out at Wembley & the signing of Lambert. All the best, gutted to see you good if truth be told.
Redbul Posted 30 August, 2010 Posted 30 August, 2010 Cheers Alan, fab season last year and a cracking day out at Wembley to top it all off. All the best for the future....
