Pardew says. "They [the board] want it quick. They're putting a lot of pressure on me and I'm putting it on the players in the best way I can, without making them taut and tight. I'm the one who is taut and tight! Quote 2: Alan Pardew's own future beyond the summer still shrouded in doubt. 5 year plan or not - NC and ML want results fast and rightly so.

If we finish the season outside the top 6 (with or without the minus 6) will you be convinced that automatic promotion will happen next season? If so why? NC wants to see us moving forward and becuae of the serious investment he will expect to see that happen fast.

AP is very well paid.

I keep to the rules and I respect other peoples opinions - I dont hand out insults to individuals. ask that everyone does the same. read the forum rules if you're confused about whats right and wrong

How long is a piece of string? NC will have given AP year by year targets (just like everyone gets in a job) AP is paid a kings ransom and for that premium wage he has extra pressure in his job/targets. I would expect that APs remit this season was top 6? He possibly has some materiality factored in (i.e would be top 6 without the -10) if he fails then he will rightly be reviewed. If NC cant see things changing dramatically then why would he stick with him?

I will report these posts - tired of the personal abuse on here. Communicate like an adult or ignore and move on. Delldays nor I get personal.....try and offer the same respect.

Specualtion about APs future started in the press a few weeks back - more today

Quote from the Guardian: Pardew says. "They [the board] want it quick. They're putting a lot of pressure on me and I'm putting it on the players in the best way I can, without making them taut and tight. I'm the one who is taut and tight! Pressure is growing! 11 wins in 28 after spending more than all L1 clubs combined is very poor. More proof that ML and NC wont stick with AP just for the sake of sticking with a manager.

Use the ignore button if you dislike individual posters - the OP raised a resonable question and speculation about APs future has now been growing for a while now. You go from thread to thread passing out childish insults - time you learnt to communicate like an adult?

Bit over the top?

Yesterdays result was excusable - I didnt realise that the pitch "was in poor condition". Poor AP couldnt play his flowing football - and it was impossible to adapt at such short notice. If only someone had thought to look at the condition of the Exeter pitch....darn it.

Just going by what the commentator said. AP said we we couldnt compete as the pitch was poor - what the **** does he expect from L1 sides? Does he do any research?

Exeter should have won

You do seem very childish. How old are you Always_SFC? Is that also your real name?

Just back from golf - I won! Maybe I can assist Saints with the winning mentality?

11 wins in 28 Where is this winning mentality AP chats so much about? Poor season!

EVEN.......

Would never last

Dont slag Pardew off

Apology accepted.

Dont slag of the JPT cup!
