Not a done deal yet http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1275894/Alan-Pardews-crisis-talks-Southampton-threaten-Inigo-Calderon-signing-Brighton.html

I must admit I find it unbelieveable that we are even talking about changing our manager. In the autumn I thought a successful season would be tenth or so in the League and success in the JPT So I think the team was very successful but perhaps my sights were too low

He maybe doing OK so could somebody else I would have thought But he failed in getting to the playoffs although I never thought getting there was feasible others might have

Steeple Chasing is a different sport to Flat Racing Like Rugby Union Football is a Different game to Association Football

I have no idea what you are talking about

So who is a better manager than Pardew?

Hughes was a much better player than Pardew

And the crowd too

At the moment I agree with you but what about the future would Hughes be better than Pardew in the Premier League With our movement to the Premier League we will lose most of the players so why not the manager and coaching teams. Most promoted teams to the Premier League do change their managers

I would have thought that Hughes has done a better job than Pardew in the Premiership. But I am not suggesting that he replaces Pardew next week

I think most people in football would choose Mark Hughes over Alan Pardew to manage a Premiership team but that of course does not mean Pardew should be replaced by Hughes or anyone else next week

I find it hard to believe you have any idea of ML's travel arrangements

These programmes are going to become very valuable

Of course that is a possibility but the reason he did not come was that he had an alternative appointment,

But they were not closed on Friday when I would have thought ML may have travelled

Pardew has probably taken it home as Cortese is not really interested in cups just promotion:)

http://www.bramblesguide.co.uk/fishandchips.htm There are plenty in Devon

Yes they do Chris N Chips Finnimore Industrial Estate, Ottery St. Mary, Devon EX11 1NR Tel: 01404 811003 Ottery Fish Bar 1 Tip Hill Ottery St. Mary, Devon EX11 1BE Tel: 01404 812874

It is because he does not spend money on frivolous things that he can afford to go to SA perhaps

And Elvis in the Ottery st Mary chip shop?

I agree with you but just because Cortese helped buy the club does not make him a reasonable and successful man.

Do we really have a board or a dictatorship?

But Hughes would be a better manager in the Premiership I would have thought

Of course what you say is right but does Hughes have the nous to deal with League 1 teams ? Also why are there no reports in the Press regarding Hughes and SFC

The reason that Pardew maybe on his way maybe that him and NC cannot work together and their relationship has broken down and not to do with results entirely. From comments on here it appears that NC may not be an easy task master Unfortunately we have to live with NC's decisions
