SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 3 February, 2018 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamplemousse Posted 3 February, 2018 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Chalet Posted 3 February, 2018 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgnorthSaint Posted 3 February, 2018 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrensup Posted 3 February, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissyboy31 Posted 3 February, 2018 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 3 February, 2018 Share Posted 3 February, 2018 Pardew's career seems to have been on a downwards trajectory ever since we sacked him Behave yourself man. 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?

Dellman Posted 4 February, 2018 Share 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?

But Now is now and I am glad we took the 3 points from him. Yep, me too. Another like Adkins who got a rough deal by Cortese. We seem only to sack successful managers!

Definitely good enough to challenge for promotion They were 1pt above the relegation zone when Pardew took over they are now bottom and 4pts off 17th so I wouldn't say they were fooked before he took over but (despite the cup game against pool) he hasn't improved them.
