lordswoodsaints Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 is in the running for the yeovil job....could he do a good job for us? imo yeovil seems a bit below his level tbh i would like to think he could be a decent manager for us but what do i know.
Lets B Avenue Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 is in the running for the yeovil job....could he do a good job for us? imo yeovil seems a bit below his level tbh i would like to think he could be a decent manager for us but what do i know. Thats the same level as us next season then.
Bourno Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 If I had a choice between Pardew or Wotte. I would choose Pardew.
cellone Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Cotteril is also in the running for Yeovil (daily star). If Luggy loses to CP he may well become available. I wonder if he fancies a return. I would be suprised to see any change in our head coach at all.
INFLUENCED.COM Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 No thanks! I find it strange that so many 'proven English managers' are dismissed out of hand on here by some yet others cry out for the same, I agree with the original post, Yeovil seems far beneath the level of a manager who 3 years ago took his premiership team to the cup final and finished 9th in the 'best league in the world'
INFLUENCED.COM Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Cotteril is also in the running for Yeovil (daily star). I thought they dismissed their manager for financial reasons ? the guys mentioned so far are going to want a decent whack
lordswoodsaints Posted 17 February, 2009 Author Posted 17 February, 2009 I thought they dismissed their manager for financial reasons ? the guys mentioned so far are going to want a decent whack this is exactly what i was thinking,they are being linked with some fairly big names for a club in more sh1t than us.....if yeovil can afford them then surely we can.

West ham were awful the following season and he got sacked and, although he had a difficult job at charlton, he made a right mess of that. A mate who goes to charlton was moaning about him before he left and said that sometimes his negative tactics were beyond a joke (ie 2-0 down brings off a striker for a midfielder to keep the goal difference to a minimum). He also seems like a right tosser.
INFLUENCED.COM Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Fair enough but what has he done since then? But thats just the thing, whoever this 'proven English manager' is, he will have 'failed' somewhere hence the reason he is available
Seaford Saint Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 If I had a choice between Pardew or Wotte. I would choose Pardew. me too
slickmick Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 this is exactly what i was thinking,they are being linked with some fairly big names for a club in more sh1t than us.....if yeovil can afford them then surely we can. Goes to prove that the dutch disaster wasn't the only option we could afford.
gjphilsaint Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 not in a zillion years a manager worse than any other we have employed....
londonsaint1604 Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 But thats just the thing, whoever this 'proven English manager' is, he will have 'failed' somewhere hence the reason he is available I would say he has been consistently poor since the end of 2005-06. Also his success with West Ham that year was largely due to him being able to bring in a lot of good players and that's not something he could do for us.
slickmick Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 But thats just the thing, whoever this 'proven English manager' is, he will have 'failed' somewhere hence the reason he is available Every available manager has failed somewhere except Burley and look where that got us. Hoddle failed, Strachan failed but both did well for us and had experience in the English league and knew what was required. Its a risk who ever is employed, its just a case of trying to minimize that risk the best you can. Wigley, Gray,Dodd and Dutch duo are in the high risk catergory, yet we (Rupert) still don't learn.
TheSaint75 Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 Pardue I very much doubt would move too far from London as he has just built a new house. When asked a few weeks ago if he would be interested in the Saints job he just laughed! I seem to remember he did quite well at Reading before Coppell took over, so maybe not that bad an option for this league.
Scudamore Posted 17 February, 2009 Posted 17 February, 2009 I thought they dismissed their manager for financial reasons ? the guys mentioned so far are going to want a decent whack Is Max Mosley in the running too?

Would be interested to know in what context he 'laughed' at the prospect of becoming Saints manager (when asked as per the above post in February)....

Very astute these peeps from Lordswood....Lottery numbers please...Good spot.
Alanh Posted 17 July, 2009 Posted 17 July, 2009 Would be interested to know in what context he 'laughed' at the prospect of becoming Saints manager (when asked as per the above post in February).... If he was asked the quesion in Feb he was probably laughing at the concept of taking over a club sliding towards relegation and administration without two beans to rub together. I guess he's laughing a bit differently now that we are on a much stronger financial footing.
tpbury Posted 17 July, 2009 Posted 17 July, 2009 Very astute these peeps from Lordswood....Lottery numbers please...Good spot. Is someone going to be bothered to cross reference all the February Pardew doubters with the 'we love AP' thread and then demand public apologies from those whove changed their opinion?

TheSaint75 Posted 17 July, 2009 Posted 17 July, 2009 Would be interested to know in what context he 'laughed' at the prospect of becoming Saints manager (when asked as per the above post in February).... LOL, I'm not sure as I wasn't there but lets face it SFC wasn't the same prospect in Feb as it is now! He maybe laughed as there was truth in it but wasn't interested :smt102 All I do know is that the guy I know who is mates with AP is very poor at feeding me info Trousers, do memorise every post made on here ?
trousers Posted 17 July, 2009 Posted 17 July, 2009 Is someone going to be bothered to cross reference all the February Pardew doubters with the 'we love AP' thread and then demand public apologies from those whove changed their opinion? Yes. I'll report back my findings on Monday

the saint in winchester Posted 17 July, 2009 Posted 17 July, 2009 Just read up on him at that centre of excellence - wikipaedia .... he has a Swedish wife! Welcome to Mrs Pardew, and we hope you will come and sit with us at St Mary's.

TBH i would say he is about the same level as WGS just had a bad spell at a bad team (charlton) Were you expecting mourinho ??
rallyboy Posted 17 July, 2009 Posted 17 July, 2009 Good tip, but it must be said that if Rupert offered ANYONE the Saints job in Feb they would have run a mile, and rightly so! ''Come work for me, I'll help you pick the team, you get a tenner a week and as much as Edam and Advocat as you can stomach, the players are crap and can't be arsed, and you have to pay for your own fuel in the company Micra - and of course you will qualify for constant abuse from the forum''. Maybe not... Think I'd settle for the few months off and the offer of a proper job from what is once again a proper club. Because we are a proper club again! Just need some players now.

Try Reading both my posts again.....I am not unhappy at his appointment as long as he is backed financially but he wouldn't have been my choice. You know as well as I do that regardless of what league we are in money talks,appointing pardew has given us all an indication of the level of finance the Swiss are willing to inject. This could all change when pardew starts to sign players,if they are willing to bring in decent players on decent money then I will see that as a sign they mean business but if they continue down the 'cheap' route then it is going to be another long hard winter. This is all IMO,but it doesn't mean I am not willing to back him it just means my expectations do not match that of our owners.
Saintjersey Posted 17 July, 2009 Posted 17 July, 2009 not in a zillion years a manager worse than any other we have employed.... Worse than Portaloo, Dodd, Gorman, Wigley?

Who on earth do you think they should have appointed that would have been a better statement of intent? And if you say Strachan or Keegan I'm gonna laugh you right back to your padded cell.

I cannot think of one manager in league 1 that comes close to comparing to pardews pedigree...ince is about as good as you get and that is way off

I am just pointing out the 'just proof the ambitions of the swiss are average at best bit' i really don't think they could have done any better really. Like TDD just stated, he is at a fantastic pedigree to be managing in league 1, and hopefully may be here for a long haul. Suggestions of KK and coppell were far wide of the mark IMO and WGS although he would have been a popular choice probably is not much better than pard's, as i said, he just had luck at the right time, where as pardew took on a freefalling charlton job.
