saint lard Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 Perhaps Pardew requested the opportunity to speak to Villa..........Cortese takes the matter in his own hands,see you later Mr Pardew. Just a theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 Saw that on the huddersfiled forum, I don't buy it either. AP was sacked because the results before the Rovers game are not good enough. If it continued at home to Rochdale and the MK Dons then its another two games wasted. There is plenty of time for a new manager to come in and work with the best players in this league, we just need tweaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 timing allows the new manager, Zolo, if the rumours well before the sacking are anything to go by, to sign the players he wants before the window closes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadoldgit Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 The most sensible analysis of the situation I have read. What all 2 league games not good enough?

Smirking_Saint Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 He has before, and done well, why not? 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.

St. Jason Posted 30 August, 2010 Share Posted 30 August, 2010 Don't think he's the level of manager they're looking at. so their no looking for a manager with Premiership experience or a manger with a good pedigree in the cups, guess Man Utd fans should brace themselves for the worst!

Timing allows no time what so ever, I thought the window closed tomorrow? I think it's a shocking decision, if Cortesse was only prepared to give him 3 games he should of just bit the bullet and sacked him last May. Sure there would of been a lot of unhappy fans (me included) but if it'd been explained properly that Alan was not the man for the new owners, that they wanted to act now to enable the new man time to build his team, to mould his players and to install his own tactics and style of playing, most would have accepted it!

Smirking_Saint Posted 1 September, 2010 Share Posted 1 September, 2010 so their no looking for a manager with Premiership experience or a manger with a good pedigree in the cups, guess Man Utd fans should brace themselves for the worst! Hardly much prem experience, you can name 100's of managers who have been in the prem at some point. Steve Wigley has premiership experience ffs. Did well in the cups ? He won the JPT trophy with a team that spent sh*t loads considering the league and came runner up in the FA Cup. Straws and clutching spring to mind.

up and away Posted 1 September, 2010 Share Posted 1 September, 2010 Don't we get compensation if pardew left to go to villa, whereas if we sacked him we would have to pay out his contract? This is why I can't see this being the case This from a CEO who has not bothered with a shirt sponsor for this year? Cortese's main focus is on promotion and that level of cost does not really come into it. I said this last season, that IF Pardew asked to speak to another club, he would be gone immediately and I can only see that being underlined now. It's a plausible theory but no more than that, until someone spills the beans. The one small bell this does trigger, is when news of Pardews sacking came to light, this Villa angle was highlighted on a non Saints site very early on. Something definitely happened in regards to the training ground or set up, but I cannot as yet see that as being sufficient on it's own. Lallana's injury may have been a tipping point should facts now point to bad management. Cortese had committed to Pardew in terms of time and resources and I feel it would be more than those first two bad league results that did the damage. If Cortese felt there was a slight chance of having to replace Pardew at exactly this time into the season, I firmly believe he would have been gone before the end of last season.
