SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 3 February, 2018 Posted 3 February, 2018 Alan Pardew has been working hard to turn it around at West Brom, but our win against them today makes it even harder for him. I feel a little bit sorry for him as I always thought our sacking of him several years ago seemed a bit harsh at the time (putting aside claims made on here that there were other significant contributory factors). Pardew's career seems to have been on a downwards trajectory ever since we sacked him and you have got to think that if he fails to keep West Brom up he will be sacked again and he will find it very hard to find another club to manage.
S-Clarke Posted 3 February, 2018 Posted 3 February, 2018 He's not going to be sacked, he's there till the end I'd think. Plus he went on and did decent things at Newcastle after he left us, he almost finished top 4 with them.
Pamplemousse Posted 3 February, 2018 Posted 3 February, 2018 I very much doubt it. Even if he were to get sacked, plenty of Championship sides would take him in a heartbeat.
SuperSAINT Posted 3 February, 2018 Posted 3 February, 2018 He's a good manager. He's played the Sturridge roulette though.
St Chalet Posted 3 February, 2018 Posted 3 February, 2018 Pardew got himself sacked with us. Meh on what happens to him but we’ll always have the JPT to thank him for.
BridgnorthSaint Posted 3 February, 2018 Posted 3 February, 2018 I have to say I like Pards. He always speaks of the Saints with fondness and He helped stop the rot in the great decline. But Now is now and I am glad we took the 3 points from him.
Wrensup Posted 3 February, 2018 Posted 3 February, 2018 West Brom was fooked before he took over, plus I reckon they’d keep him if they got relegated. Definitely good enough to challenge for promotion
krissyboy31 Posted 3 February, 2018 Posted 3 February, 2018 To be fair I think they'll still manage to stay up. Any 3 from 10 could go down and there's 3 worse than them and us!

Have you been drinking? Since leaving League 1 Southampton he's managed one of the biggest clubs in the country, the club where he made his name as a player and is now at a similar sized club to us. He's managed numerous seasons 2 steps above where he left us. If that's a downwards trajectory, what's an upwards one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Newcastle one of the biggest clubs in the country?! Have YOU been drinking?! They're bigger than us but we're a small club. Newcastle are not even in the top ten in the country.
Green Posted 3 February, 2018 Posted 3 February, 2018 He also got to the FA Cup final and was linked with the England job. Poor fella, it’s definitely been all downhill for him since finishing 7th in League One.
Forester Posted 3 February, 2018 Posted 3 February, 2018 Answer is no, Puel is flying at Leicester.....!

Dalek2003 Posted 4 February, 2018 Posted 4 February, 2018 Talking of Leeds, there is an example of a club wallowing in the Championship. A sleeping giant.

Bad Wolf Posted 4 February, 2018 Posted 4 February, 2018 CB Fry said: What's your answer to the question? No. Everton are bigger. We'll agree to disagree. The point is Pardew isn't going anywhere and even if he did, most Championship clubs would stroll have him.
Dellman Posted 4 February, 2018 Posted 4 February, 2018 Even if Pardew is sacked (unlikely) he will walk into another job when he chooses. To be sacked is almost a badge of honour in management, football is not like the resty of life, it is a paralell universe, haven't you noticed?

Another like Adkins who got a rough deal by Cortese. We seem only to sack successful managers! I hope he keeps WBA up they've been part of our history since the last war and used to be a bit of a bogey team for us.

Dark Munster Posted 5 February, 2018 Posted 5 February, 2018 By attendance Newcastle are top 10 (averaging around 50K in the PL). With that level of support they are huge underachievers.
