Shouldn't the manager be the one dipping into the transfer market? Still, I bet your wife is delighted that it isn't going to be Martin O'Neill Alps.

Perhaps we should play the White Witch up front?

I think the words "valuable life force" are misused Alps. When you pass over you will have wated a very large proportion of your life force writing rubbish on the internet. What value there? You take every opportunity to have a pop at Burley and yes, we can expect the same fate to befall Pardew. Funny that you don't use your time to have a pop at the one manager in recent times deserving of your scorn, Harry Redknapp. Why is that? I can accept it if both Burley and Pardew had win ratios of 3 in 13.

lol

It may be just a figment of my imagination, but I am sure that we lost fewer home matches as a % at The Dell?

And so did and do I, so why do you keep having a dig?

I still can't get my head around all of this. Cortese had a decent manager, all he had to do was back him. I don't know what went on between those two but it look slike there was no love lost between those two. Throw in Reed and you get this mess. We did well last year and well enough to think that we could build on that and progess to better things. Now we had to start again. Is it a coincidence that the wheels have fallen off now that ML has passed away and Cortese has a free hand?

I see you are back to abusing people who don't agree with you. It would seem you are in the minority in your opinion about Pardew.

Nicola Cortese and Les Reed. I hope I am wrong but I get the feeling that we have ended up with more deadbeats running the club.

You didn't read the OS statement then?

I am unreal? What is unreal is the hypocricy by some on here. The same things that Lowe was pillioried for Cortese gets away with? How does that work? As for Reed, lets see eh? If he is highly as highly regarded as you say then we have no problems right?

Bloke walks into a pet shop and says "I'd like to buy a wasp please." The assistant says "Sorry but we don't sell wasps." The guy says "Thats odd, there was one in the window yesterday."

Yeah, you are right DD, afterall he has been such a success elsewhere. He certainly has the Wow factor.

I thought you supported Pardew. It looks very likely that Pardew's departure had something to do with Reed. How do you feel about that, you strange little man.

If he listens to Reed and Reed has some responsibility for Pardew going then perhaps he is listening to the wrong people?

You are happy with this bloke then?

We have Les Reed, why should we worry?

Cortese and Reed are the new dreamteam so who needs a coach?

Apparently we re not allowed to critisise Mr Cortese because he saved us from going out of business (which will be comforting if we get relegated again this year). I don't know about Lowesque. I think Nicola is all out there on his own.

How do you know it is not spin? And the question was not literal.

Its amazing isn't it. We had a decent manager who won us a cup and gave us back some self respect and some halfwit starts a thread in reaction to this one to slag the bloke off. Why would any decent manager want to come here and work when the fan base is made up of so many d*ckheads.

So they gave him coaching in sh*gging Fonte's missus? Wilkins must be gutted he missed out on all the fun!

Tactically astute enough to win a cup and would have made the play off but for the -10. Given the points he racked up that is questionable. He sat on a committee including Cortese and two others but feel free to blame him. As for the friendlies how do you know he had anything to do with arranging them? Got anything else?

Why wouldn't they? If they are successful they are a hero, if not they walk away with shedloads of cash. That is why there are queues for football managers jobs.
