sadoldgit Posted 21 April, 2010 Share Posted 21 April, 2010 For all of you gagging to see the back of Pardew after last night's heinous crime of drawing at home, think back. The perceived wisdom on here was the Burley was useless and should go because we could do better. Burley went yet the following 5 managers that followed him could barely buy a win between them until Alan Pardew turned up. The perceived wisdom was that Lowe was uselss and should go because we could do better. Lowe went yet the string of people who tried to run the club made aright pig's ear of things, so much so that the despised Lowe was asked back to try and sort the mess out. You might get you way. Pardew might find a better job (where he is wanted) or he might be asked to leave. But, just as spending money does not guarantee promotion, notr does getting shot of a manager guarntee that things will improve. Whatever happens through what is left of the season, Pardew has done a good job and was finally undone by the minus 10 points, not because he is a useless manager.

dronskisaint Posted 21 April, 2010 Share Posted 21 April, 2010 I would be incredibly sorry if he did go. He has brought in good players, instilled both pride & a strong mentality in to the team, improved fitness levels & has a team that can & frequently does play ayttractive football. This has produced bigger gates & higher expectation levels from crowd to board level (I suspect in the case of the latter) but while last night I walked away from the ground feeling sad that the dream of going up (despite everything) this year logic kicked in & I realise we are on the brink of something even more special. Let's briefly recap...we've been relegated, in admin & ownerless. We've faced oblivion...the unthinkable yet I've just enjoyed a season of hope that included winning the JPT - as a Prem supporter I'd have taken the p*ss but that meant something & I had a fantastic day at Wembley & we were on track again as winners...important word - winners. We have been incredibly fortunate in being bought by a businessman who, in partnership with all...I stress all...his management team are committed to building a club structure that is capable of competing with the best - the latest addition Les reed is a further reinforcement of his conviction that this can be done. I hope & don't believe that they would do this without confidence in the manager - they are good business men & (we are lucky again) have the funds to support the club while the plan becomes reality. We have great owners, excellent management & a squad that will provide an excellent challenge for the title next year. They, in turn, have a growing & largely appreciative set of fans who I'm proud to have been part of this year - my own pride & enjoyment have been restored this year in a way that I never could have predicted, The whole set up is the reason for this - let's keep the whole set up in place & go up as Champions next year!

david in sweden Posted 21 April, 2010 Share Posted 21 April, 2010 Pardew may not be a useless manager but he may not be a very good manager only time will tell. Not many including me are suggesting that he should go but I think there should be discussion on the topic as some of his comments and tactical decisions are open to question. IF Pardew is "useless", then so too are the 16 managers of the clubs below us in L1 and the three poor s*ds who are still in charge of the bottom three in CCC. Manager's decisions are always questioned by someone (and a few of them are on this site regularly.It has always been so . Ted Bates was not without his critics, but in those days managers were valued by their experience and not their occasional lapses of judgement. Lawrie Mac..(arguably the most successful manger the club has ever had ) was continually under criticism from fans who were nevertheless quite happy to come and watch half a team of England Internationals playing for Saints at The Dell in the 1980's.. I'm sure the majority of fans are more philosophical about results. Last night start side was more or less the same line-up as that which put 5 past Walsall, Huddersfield and Bristol Rovers. No-one can blame OUR pitch for the lack of footballing skill, but teams coming to play destructive, defensive football and poor refereeing also play their part in such games. It's upto Cortese to make the important judgments - not us, I just only hope that he has more patience than some of the other contributors on this site.

John B Posted 21 April, 2010 Share Posted 21 April, 2010 Its amazing how one game and one poor result can change the mood on this board so dramatically. Yes I agree but this was always going to happen as lots of fans are totally unrealistic expecting to win every game. I think over the season we have done a lot better than I thought except for the first few games when we were poor. I have been to more matches this season than in the immediate past and enjoyed winning lots of games and would expect us to be pushing for Promotion next season as even with the ten point reduction in most years we would be in the playoffs with the points we will probably gain. Never been fully confident that Pardew is in the long term going to lead us to the Premiership but I think he should be given every oppurtunity to show us that he can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 21 April, 2010 Share Posted 21 April, 2010 Yawn. I can't really be arsed to even read what the rest of your thread is all about. The first line is perfectly sufficient to know what will follow. The whole thing is bound to degenerate into an argument between you and Alpine, mentions will be made of Lowe, Wilde, Crouch and others who are long since part of history and nobody will change their positions which are deeply entrenched. Ultimately, if anybody holds any position with their opinions, that is their right and it is futile raking over these particular coals, as there is little chance that there is much heat to be gained by re-igniting them.

I disagree with your first point as football is a team game and things like poor refereeing decisions injuries other teams playing really well and suspensions affect games so nothing is guaranteed.

If Papa had tapped it in from 1 yard out instead of playing it the other way the dream would still be very much alive, as it is we have had a fantastic season clawing away a -10pts to start with, many on here thought certain relegation.

Verbal Kint Posted 21 April, 2010 Share Posted 21 April, 2010 Pardew isn't useless. He's certainly not as bad as Burley. But i don't think he's very good either unfortunately. The sad thing is on a personal level i really like him as he's not afraid to speak his mind and he seems to be very fired up most of the time. His biggest strength is that he has got the players playing for him. You can see Lambert, Lallana, Morgan are all fighting every second in every game. It's a great quality to be able to get players believing in you and playing for you. Tactically i think he's almost as bad as Burley. We have one of the best headers of a ball in England in Lambert. We need to start getting wide players to the byline and getting quality crosses in for him to attack. Instead we play Lallana and Puncheon on the wrong sides and play narrow hoof ball. The few games we have got it down and played with some width we hammered Huddersfield and Walsall. I won't be too disappointed if he leaves, as we have the funds to attract very good managers now.

We've faced oblivion...the unthinkable yet I've just enjoyed a season of hope that included winning the JPT - as a Prem supporter I'd have taken the p*ss but that meant something & I had a fantastic day at Wembley & we were on track again as winners...important word - winners. We have been incredibly fortunate in being bought by a businessman who, in partnership with all...I stress all...his management team are committed to building a club structure that is capable of competing with the best - the latest addition Les reed is a further reinforcement of his conviction that this can be done. I hope & don't believe that they would do this without confidence in the manager - they are good business men & (we are lucky again) have the funds to support the club while the plan becomes reality. We have great owners, excellent management & a squad that will provide an excellent challenge for the title next year. They, in turn, have a growing & largely appreciative set of fans who I'm proud to have been part of this year - my own pride & enjoyment have been restored this year in a way that I never could have predicted, The whole set up is the reason for this - let's keep the whole set up in place & go up as Champions next year! This is the way forward and I am sure the thoughts of many true Saints fans.. COYRS:smt050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westofshannonsaint Posted 21 April, 2010 Share Posted 21 April, 2010 they dont really exist..I think 2 board memebers posted once they thought this could be the case 2 posters from 10,000 you simply CANNOT question a sub, or a formation, or a result without the default allegation that you insist on pardew being sacked immediately & I think that was in a post match reaction thread, when the 2 board members were unhappy after a poor against Brighton.... they probably changed their opinion's after a good night's sleep. Mod's.... can we have a Pardew Out poll? the threads aimed at "those who want Pardew to go" are getting kind of irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 21 April, 2010 Share Posted 21 April, 2010 Why is it that almost all threads on here have to be ruined by alpine or this CB Fry fella? Seriously, just wtf is your problem guys? TBF SOG is just as bad if not worse. It used to be funny reading them get in hissy fits with each other, now it is just like a repeat of grumpy old men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 21 April, 2010 Share Posted 21 April, 2010 For all of you gagging to see the back of Pardew after last night's heinous crime of drawing at home, think back. The perceived wisdom on here was the Burley was useless and should go because we could do better. Burley went yet the following 5 managers that followed him could barely buy a win between them until Alan Pardew turned up. Except one, and since then he has had 2 seasons of being top of the leagues. he must have been crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genk Posted 21 April, 2010 Share Posted 21 April, 2010 (edited) I find it laughable that people question a professional managers tactics. Its easy in hind sight to question what decisions a manager made, but at the end of the day he knows a hell of a lot more about the game of football than us all posting on this forum. Ofcourse managers are going to get it wrong from time to time, but AP hasn't achieved what he's achieved in football through poor tactics. Nobody wants Pardew out but I suspect people are just frustrated after last night's result. I am afraid that he may walk though, praying he doesn't as I believe he really can take us all the way.

SOG crashing down to the ground in flames, or holed below the waterline, whichever metaphor you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
