Nine straight defeats is pretty impressive.
This is all the matters. Great tenure at WBA.At least he knocked Liverpool out the cup.
A successful one I must sayThis is all the matters. Great tenure at WBA.
I think that's him done in the Premier League now.He will comeback as manager in some PL club next season. Thats just how it is
Yeah. Giving Pardew the job was idiotic, but it was still right to get rid of Pulis.Im far from a Pardew fan but he had too much to do, Pulis ruined that squad physically and mentally and whoever took that job was on a hiding to nothing. That said he is a dreadful manager who should never sniff the PL again.
I don’t think he will. This ruins his credibility in the Premier League until he makes his way back up from the Championship, I think. Then again Moyes found work after disasters at United and Sunderland so you might be correct.Had to happen, but I guarantee this man will be on the touchline somewhere by October this year, in the Premier League.
Yeah, it is.Nine straight defeats is pretty impressive.
Alan Pardew | Welcome to PSG | Skills and Dribbles 2018 1080p | Despacito (Remix).
This was my thoughts on it as well. Newcastle fans were desperate to get rid of him, then he took over palace and it looked like it was the newcastle players who were to blame for the poor performances after all. Half a season later and he shows that it was him after all. Ill be honest and say I fell for it too at the time. The turn around he made at palace didnt seem like it was a fluke, but shows what I know.Good. The guy is a hack. Newcastle fans got pelters for lambasting him, but they were right. He did it again at Palace, got them playing good football, but when it goes south he becomes the worst possible manager to have, and it's a downward spiral until someone pulls the plug on him. The only difference at West Brom was that the squad was full of so many hopeless nobodies that he couldn't even get the bright start he normally gets. I don't know how could have saved that team, but Pardew was definitely the wrong man.
He'll give you a decent 6 months from the start, but then he reverts to type, but those 6 months fools people into thinking he's a good manager. When he got Palace in to the top half, his name was being mentioned as a possible England manager. Then it went to shit, as it always does.
He is terrible, but I bet he'll be managing a bottom 6 PL club next season at some point.
Hughes has already replaced pellegrino.Hughes to replace him? Surely now Pardew has to drop down to Championship level
Plenty of players that are good enough. Pulis just did a shit job of renewing the squad. Most of their better players are over 30. Their defense looks better on paper than most teams above them but they have very, very little going forward in the creative department and Pulis wasn't one that trained a team to play football. Their Goalkeeper-DB-MC spine is fine but there's little around it.There’s little to no quality in that squad but Pardew has been shocking. Evans apart, who else is good enough?
I completely forgot, thanks for reminding meHughes has already replaced pellegrino.
So you don't think it's the manager's job to motivate the squad?As shit as he is, clearly those players don’t give a shit.
It’s an absolute clusterfeck of a squad, and consummate ‘professional’ such as Gareth Barry are undertaking weekly benders in local teenage hotspots.
Pardew should probably be absolved of any blame this time, but because it’s Pardew...
It is hard to keep up, considering how much they all swap seats lol.I completely forgot, thanks for reminding me
A manager can only do so much. At some point the players have to take responsibility for their own actions.So you don't think it's the manager's job to motivate the squad?
Indeed, mind boggling how they seem to land on their feet with these jobs also. Southampton are a better equipped club than Stoke and Hughes got sacked by them, crazy really.It is hard to keep up, considering how much they all swap seats lol.
A new manager was brought in to motivate the team, Pardew completely failed to do that, even a little bit.A manager can only do so much. At some point the players have to take responsibility for their own actions.
No. You're the first to notice it, much less start the backlash.Anyone else completely bored of the Pardew/Hughes/Moyes/Pulis/Allardyce merry go round?
Of course I do, but the few times I've seen WBA this season there has been nothing more obvious than a 'cba' attitude. Strikingly similar to the way Villa went down - some decent players in there but quite clearly happy to take home a healthy pay packet with no repercussions.So you don't think it's the manager's job to motivate the squad?
The mad thing is that Pardew already did this before. After he flopped at Charlton and got them relegated and going nowhere in the Championship he went down to Southampton to buff his CV back up. The club had a points deduction to insulate him from criticism for a season. He was sacked in August the season after.To be fair to Pulis, he did the right thing. He went down a level to work his way back up, which is what SHOULD happen to the merry-go-round managers but never seems to happen. Pardew should be working at Chester or Barnet or something next time he appears.
sorry Brophs. I suppose I just saw the news of his sacking but know he'll inevitably be rehired by another lower league PL team next season. It's all rather depressing.No. You're the first to notice it, much less start the backlash.
