Dibden Purlieu Saint

Last night is the first time in eons that I haven't bothered checking the Saints score. I actually don't care one jott now. Do what you ****ing want Clotese, but I am not coming back unless you appoint someone better than Pardew. That leaves you with about 10-15 managers in this country. Until then, you can go **** yourself for spoiling what was to be my favourite season as a Saints fan. May just go watch Fulham now and then send you the receipt for everything I've bought to let you know this is money I'm not spending at Saints due to you. Dickhead.

Don't care about the tax, but I'm not going back for a while because he sacked Pardew.

Hahaha, nice! Hard to believe he single handedly paid for Delgado in the pie-binging early noughties...

No pies, how come? DBP eat them all?

Nope.

Yes I would be happy with that, but it's unlikely.

Yes, but then I started this thread a while back anyway: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?23662-Lowe-v-Cortese...

Yes, cos Cortese doesn't know what he is doing.

Check my posts when Pardew was sacked, and you'll see that I have. Plus, note my 'Yet' part.

Paul Hart I may actually take, yes he is an ex Skate, but he is actually a pretty good manager. Not as good as Pardew though.

West Hams squad is mentally stronger, yet obviously managed a **** load worse than 2 crap teams managed by very average managers.

If we appoint Shearer, livid would not even start to explain my feelings.

I will boo, but then I'm going to be at home, so it won't make any difference. Just have to say I am really ******ed off with Pardews sacking.

Exactly. This thread should be closed because it really makes no logical sense. It's the Managers equivalent of saying 'We beat x 6-0, and x beat y 4-1, so that means we'd beat y 10-1'.

This. I would like to know the reason that Zola is a good enough manager. I personally don't think he will ever make it as a manager, as I don't think he has it in him.

Obviously haven't tried your mum out then... Only kidding, you must have.

Erm, you are confusing Pards and Curbishley there, it was Pards who wouldn't play Masch and Tevez.

Well I can't disagree with that last part.

He managed to spend decent money on players like Diamanti etc, whilst also having 3.England internationals, 1 who should have been at the world cup, and players like Mark Noble, and they were awful.

I'm sorry but I can't believe people who are saying that Zola would be a good appointment. He has done nothing but effectively fail at West Ham. Please don't forget the strength of that West Ham side compared to the teams around them. And he also has NO experience of the lower leagues, as either a player or a manager. Great player yes, not necessarily a good manager.

Muchos thanks to you Pardew. It was fun!

Can't see it happening but would be a BRILLIANT appointment. Very, very under-rated manager.

I guess we'll never know. Either way, this seems like a really stupidly timed decision. Why didn't he do it at the end of last season? It makes me think that it has been done off the cuff, like they've had a falling out between Saturday and today. Just doesn't add up to me.

Unfounded, but unrealistic? I'm not sure. I am ****ing unhappy.

It would not surprise me one bit if Cortese wanted a puppet to front himself. Seriously, we thought Lowe was bad, I think we've got one much, MUCH worse here.
