Smirking_Saint

Can i just state, what BPsaint is just not true. I am not calling him a liar, i just don't understand who would have said that to him. You are going to have to trust me on this.

I have heard that some of the players were a little unhappy with Pardew also, so this ties in with what i have heard. Also, why should Pardew or any manager have sole control over everything at a club ?? I have thought this for a little while now when sackings/leavings like this happen. Football has evolved and nowadays clubs need extensive coaching networks etc Pardew or any manager in his position is not going to know everything about everyone so co-operation is essential (all be it in correct levels).

Yeah i noticed, a couple got thrown out TBF. I do hate some of our fans at times, they were on the players backs after a matter of minutes. Then we had the 'on the pitch on the pitch' utter tards. The stewards were p*ssing a few people off as per usual, with their sit down tactics. My mate nearly got kicked out as they got everyone seated and he started singing 'stand up if you love the saints'. It made me lol, but i still called him a pr*ck.

I can agree with that actually, thought the same myself. Sorry, i thought you meant uncommitted.

It not so much what i choose to believe but what i know is true

TBF the only player that looked completely out of sorts was Lambert, the rest tried hard but nothing came off. Fonte looked 100% committed to me, Hammond was full of passion, Connelly played his heart out. The only player that looked uncommitted was Rickie, and i am not reading loads into it as he has been totally out of sorts all season so far. Jaidi is well past it and cost us two out of three goals tonight.

Some of us do know it isn't

Its boll*cks.

Spot on Wes Made me cringe every time they started singing for Pardew

Nurse !!!!!!!!!!

Just back from the game.... Utter...utter sh*te Jaidi looked slow, cumbersome and lacked any awareness of where his man was, Austin made the free kick it look theatrical but he let him past and the 2nd goal was all Jaidi's fault. Lambert looked like he didn't want to be there. Hammond can't pass for toffee. Gully looked out of place, only wants ball to feet and never in front of him. Punch looked good but never releases early enough. Fonte was class, but if i was him i would have wondered what the f*ck i was doing in the red and white tonight. The ref was on crack. And the saints fans in the Northam end, on the players backs in minutes.

Dune being an utter bellend again i see

What if Pardew had lost motivation but refused to walk and so lose his payoff ?? Surely then he needed to go. TBH he failed last season, after asking for extra funds. Lets see who we get in to replace him.

True, i still think if this is the case and NC really wanted rid he should have done so last season, and got someone in early. OR perhaps pardew tried it on with NC's missus ?

He did well at Middlesborough TBF, but then failed miserably at England. And considering some few on here believed the mighty saints could take on and perhaps beat England (lol) then i don't think he is good enough.

I still reckon Pardew had clearly had enough and lost motivation but refused to walk. No point keeping someone in a job who is not commited.

Dog..................I don't know what to do here, whether to respond sarcastically or sensibly.

Like, lol, like

Thats speculating that Pardew was in charge of transfers ?? With our development centre stuff with Reed, Dodd, hunter etc and the scouts it has been said there was some sort of team including Pardew that discussed the potential transfers, so the way i look at it is even without AP we may still be in the market for a few players.

And the point of this thread with a million others is ?

Right decision but bad timing IMO. Pardew clearly wasn't backed, and he f*cked up last season by falling short after asking for extra funds. He is tactically unispiring also. But why oh why didn't NC just stick to his guns at the end of the season and get shot ? He would have got grief from fans etc but would be ok again now and the new man could have signed who he wanted etc for this season. Honestly i wouldn't be surprised if Pardew had completely lost interest but refused to walk, thats my take on the goings on. In which case i am glad it is done, NC really needs to deliver a top manager now, if only to appease our big stars.

Because he is not good enough basically. He did ok at West Ham but not great and has been banging on about it ever since. TBF, if he was properly backed he would have done well for us but seeing he clearly wasn't i am glad he has been given the boot early, no point dragging it out. I just wish that it was done at the end of the season so we could have bedded in a new man over the pre-season break. Thats what i am p*ssed off at NC for, not the sacking but the timing. Zola, Southgate, Blackwell could all do better jobs. I would even welcome Howe but think we need a biggish name in order to keep our best players (lallana, fonte, Lambert) at the club.

Lol Pardew won't get anywhere near a premiership team ffs

Knees, keep the best players out of teams.

true, and they all go up for the public vote, the loser gets eaten.
