TheAuthority Posted April 19, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 19, 2018 7 hours ago, AVFCDAN said: I totally agree with your first 3 paragraphs but to be fair to Pardew he did have a decent Newcastle team at one point and this would have been later on rather than the first 10 games riding a new manager bounce. Wasn't that more to do with decent recruitment that year? They bought over several players from France scouted by Graham Carr (Tiote, Cabaye et.al.) They gelled and had a really good season - of course their numpty owner sold them all though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also had really good strikers around that time...Demba Ba scored a shed load first half of the season, they sold him to Chelsea and then Papis Cisse did exactly the same.

mikeyp102 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 God I hope they don’t manage to pull this off and stay up. It’s been peaceful recently with them doing shit, but if they stay up they’ll all been giving it large again. No doubt if they do they’ll have another dvd sale of “the great escape” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulis would have kept them up IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted April 29, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2018 Not sure. They picked up something like 12 points in his final 21 games. Something wasn’t right. The bigger mistake wasn’t so much getting rid of Pulis, it was appointing Pardew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 What possessed them to seal their fate like that? Tony Pulis the safety specialist will relegate us, so let's appoint Alan Pardew who was sacked from his last 2 jobs for almost relegating teams. These people get paid millions to make decisions like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG OMG how the hell did I not read this before? https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/west-bromwich-albion-undone-by-the-illusion-of-stability-6qxdp69bq What an absolute plank. Mistook a very general rule of thumb, that's basically all reversion to the mean, and thought it was some kind of god-given right. Utter pillock. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 If I ever walked past Alan Pardew in the street it'd require an enormous deal of self control to not chin him, probably the biggest word removed in football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
