casbahowl Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Crap source I know but at the end of last season I was at a works do in The Shard in London. Sat at our table as the 'celebrity' was Talksport's Ian Abrahams aka The Moose. As the wine flowed and conversation turned to football and he discovered my allegiances he told me to place a large bet on Pardew being the next Wednesday boss as negotiations were ongoing ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) Apart from the midfield, the players are already there, what they need is organising and playing players in the right positions, so every player knows there jobs. As for the Committee thingy, I think CC had an input with the choice of Van Aken and V, Hooper, Fletcher, Reach, from what he said at the times of their signing. Here's a theoretical team from the players we already have, to fit CC's fave formation. Westood (when fit) Palmer Lees Loovens Fox Lee Bannan Hutchinson Reach Fletcher Hooper This looks more balanced, Right footers on the right, Left on the left. Palmer is more defensive minded than Hunt, Lee can actually cross a ball. Of course it is only my opinion using the players we have at the club and CC's obsession with 4 4 2.

Karanka is the only option we should be taking, got a team out of this division two seasons ago and will have a point to prove after what happened at Boro last year. I agree he has no longevity but he's a streaky manager. When his teams are on form, they've been great. Think early Newcastle and early West Ham. I dont think anyone is or should be suggesting pardew should be the next Wednesday manager for 5 years, but I guarantee he'll have these players firing for 12months at least which is all we need to get into the prem. i don't like him as a person ; he seems like an arrogant tail. But it's not a popularity contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 When we were heavily linked with him over the Summer, I remember it was John Percy who broke the story at the time. He's a very well respected and well connected journalist so it wouldn't surprise me at all if there was something in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No this was ages ago before I’d seen it mentioned anywhere. I was at a funeral when I was told initially, so give me a minute and I might be able to remember exactly when it was.

He must be bored of shmoozing birds in Dubai and L.A. At least he could bring some lookers down to S6 too. Time for D.C to sell him the project. #pardewtime I'd like to have a few beers with him after seeing that pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 1 hour ago, Copthorneowl said: He clearly didn't rate Bannan and Jack Hunt so that's two who'd be on their way for starters if he came, not that I'm in the Carlos out camp yet. FWIW I'd never ask anybody who had previously considered we weren't good enough for them that rules out Pearson Pardew and Worthington from memory but sure there are many others. Bannan had a few issues but that looks completely behind him and must surely be a must for any new manager. Nearly everything good comes through Carlos, despite what some think of him.

striker Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) I'd take Pardew in a heartbeat, even if just to the end of the season and review then. This season is already a write off in terms of any prpmotion aspirations, it would be nice just once to go to a game and be entertained.

OWLS about that? Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 3 hours ago, Orlando_Trustful said: It has got to be Pardew time. Say what you like about him, however his overall record is very impressive. A top flight manager for the majority of his career. He may well be a smug bugger, but I bet he would get us up within a year or two. Promotions, Cup Finals, and the Premier League Manager of the Year not too long ago. Imagine the scenes seeing this at Wembley in May. #pardewtime It's a yes from me Geoff. Get him in, and get him in now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not talking about that. I'm referring to our lop-sided approach when we play one winger and a CM who clearly wants to be anywhere other than wide right. It stifles our play. The CBs and the CMs have to play out to the left 75% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
