Alan Pardew

[Night King]

Out of work, good record at this level, normally makes a good impact when he starts a new job, linked with us in the summer. 

 

Get him him in before Sunday. 

[Earlsfieldowl]

Here here to that 

 

A man with a decent record at this level who won't put up with any c**p.

[edwinowl]

 Agreed, he'd do a decent job and knows the game. 

[Groundhopping Owl]

Without subjecting Owlstalk to my 17th anti-Pardew rant : please God no. An utter c**t who would antagonise the fanbase within weeks, who would do nothing to solve our defensive problems and has a record of things totally falling apart after about 6 months.

[Owl_80]

No no NO.

[Rhubarb n Custard]

He's a r8 wnaker, can't stand him, but would prob get the job done.

[whatevertrevor]

Never! Never! Never!

[legendaryswan]

Hes just another fruitless punt,hed fair no better than CC

FOXTROT OSCAR LAD  .... and don't darken this already dark gossip column again.

Don't particularly like the man but felt he had a good record at this level. 

 

Just checked it out though and it's so long since he had success in the championship. In his first three seasons as a championship manager he took first Reading then West Ham (twice) into the play-offs in each of those seasons. But the last of those was in 2005 and since then he's only had one season at this level - a pretty disastrous one at Charlton.

 

I think he's a decent manager but all in all not the right man for us at this time.

 

Mick McCarthy on the other hand...

Much much better CV than Carlos.

 

Yes but he's apparently not a nice man so no good for us. Jesus fecking wept some of our moronic fans get the club they deserve. Bonkers.

So basically Carlos mk2 

 

[yeadonowl]

Some of our fans really make me laugh

 

Pardew has promotions from this league, has a 40% win rate at his last job in the premier league, awarded premier league and LMA manager of the year, multiple other awards and he isn't good enough for us

 

who realistically is there he is better qualified and could do a better job

 

we should have sorted this out after the Huddersfield debacle instead of wasting another transfer window with Carlos collecting central midfielders and no creativity or pace

[AwokenGiant]

Yeah right...can just imagine Pardew walking down the Moor in his suede suit and cravat.

He was heavily linked with us in the summer by John Percy, a very well connected and respected journalist.

 

Makes me think there could be something in this if Carlos does go.

Also placed 5th with a shoestring Mike Ashley operation and got a FA Cup final with a completely bobbar CP.

 

So no, not CC mk2

[Birley Owl 1867]

Hes defo better than Carlos. Would be a great appointment. Gerhim in

[Eastern]

Don't like the bloke although TBF unattractive football does work at this level (Brighton, Burnley - smaller clubs got promoted, playing dull football).

[RUMBELOWS91]

Right now I'd take him in a heartbeat- purely because I don't trust DC to make a sensible decision, and this would be a sensible decision - even if it's not universally popular.

 

Unfortuanately we'll probably end up with a yes man linked to Doyen Sports.

Exactly my thinking.
