gatesheadfox Posted 11 December 2006 Posted 11 December 2006 This is Madness. West Ham think there bigger than they are,hes done a great job there and he still could have done. There new owner said only last week he was 100% behind the manager. behind him waiting to push i think he meant
Wils Posted 11 December 2006 Posted 11 December 2006 behind him waiting to push i think he meant Yeah,your right. Will Manderic do the same?
morris1234 Posted 11 December 2006 Posted 11 December 2006 so how long do you reckon till mandaric realises wat were already thinking (thats if he knows about pardew or not!) not saying he will take action though!
gatesheadfox Posted 11 December 2006 Posted 11 December 2006 Yeah,your right. Will Manderic do the same? milan will probably wait until he realises the fans wouldn't hate him for doing so, then point mr kelly towards the exit
lookwhaticando Posted 11 December 2006 Posted 11 December 2006 I was thinking that, but i'd look at what he's done since and before that particular season and he's just the sort of manager we need here. I think he'd want a better placed club than ours though. I wouldn't say no to Pardew taking over. He inspires me more than Dowie and some of the other names touted about. I'd be in the Ric and Ricey camp. I think Pardew might bring the right sort of football to Leicester. I see your camp, and I raise you a bandwagon. ALAN PARDEW IN! -------------------------- Whoever said West Ham are impatient should consider the fact they've only had about 13 managers since the War. Personally, I think this was on the cards with or without the new management @ WHU. I'm not convinced it's a frozen food store's plot to remove Pardew in favour of Curbs. Curbishley would have been linked anyway - he has been linked with the post repeatedly in the past. Besides, with a new rich investor, surely the availability of a replacement wouldn't be an issue anyway? If there's someone better who's already in work, just pay the compensation and get on with it. I think any team that's been in the top flight for at least a season already may have made the same move after such a miserable run. Their collapse to Bolton (I watched the match, believe me they were shit) as they'd already folded like a cheap tent a bunch of times this season. Finally, for anyone interested there's a few commentary pieces on the issue @ the BBC: Panic Buys will haunt Pardew Agony over for Pardew 606: Does Pardew deserve this?

According to Tony Cottee, Curbishley is nailed on for the job, being a dyed in the wool Hammer and the fans favourite by almost 100% agreement
Onion Posted 11 December 2006 Posted 11 December 2006 For fox sake get real!!! Who do you think we should get, Capello? Pardew won the playoff final and nearly won the FA cup in the same season as establishing a newly promoted team in the Premiership. That is some achievement and we (a struggling championship side) would be hard pushed to aim higher than that. That is as impressive as MON imho. How many managers have we had that are gunna be 'the next Martin O'Neil'? It'd be nice to have someone with abit of a track record instead of the 'next big thing' on the cheap and hope he does ok. Pardew has done nothing to prove hes a great manager, teams from the Championship are doing increasingly well in the Premiership (Wigan, Reading, Portsmouth) because the Championship is becoming a better quality league. If MM buys us out and everything turns rosey we become a highly attractive club with Money, New Stadium, Fans and in the future Players/Manager, theres no reason why we cant have someone with a higher profile than Pardew.

No we don't, we become about as attractive as about 10 other teams in this division with cash.

Indeed. Have spoken to my dad this morning (he's a quasi-West Ham fan... he likes football, he'll watch any premiership game, but if anyone comes up against WH, he wants WH to win... that's about it.) Anyways, he said Curbs would probably be a good choice - came from the WH academy and was there for a few years in the late 70s. I didn't understand earlier why he was linked to the post before, I never really thought about it... but now I know. Of course, thar rules out the possibility of getting Curbs for ourselves... but really it never was terribly likely. So, instead, everyone get on the Pardew Bandwagon!

We can always resurrect the Lineker idea after all he came through our Academy (Curbs), and is on the Tele talking football/doesn't want to manage anyway (Redknapp), so meets with all the critcal criteria.
The People's Hero Posted 11 December 2006 Posted 11 December 2006 Thing is though, he ultimately did a good job at Reading and a good job at West Ham. Whilst he may have struggled a bit to get them up, he got them up, and he got them playing nice football. To be honest, I'd take the nice football, and see if we can work on the getting up part from there. Agreed. I've always been uneasy about Pardew and he does take his team in getting his squad sorted out, having said that, he approaches games in a refreshingly open way. His teams show honest endeavour and no little will to attack. Not much hoofing from his lot.
dandannieldanok Posted 11 December 2006 Posted 11 December 2006 Strange decision, Pardew, like last season, would have been able to do a better job without all the interference. Eggert's a numpty.
The People's Hero Posted 11 December 2006 Posted 11 December 2006 Like I say, I wonder who Eggert has his eye on....
Leicfox Posted 11 December 2006 Posted 11 December 2006 Curbishley has got to be odds on favourite there now, unless the egg has a foreign dude lined up. A. Curbishley@4/5 S. G Eriksson@6/1 Last time i looked..
Suffolk_fox Posted 11 December 2006 Posted 11 December 2006 Should get him in if he goes hed do wonders I feel very sorry for Pardew, a great manager who can't really be blamed for WHU poor season that much.Would love to see him at Leicester. Get him in! Big mistake by West Ham. Its the nature of football that sometimes your up and sometimes your down. I think with time he would have sorted it out, even if he was playing a poor goalkeeper. Pardew at Leicester.Merry Christmas. That's all there is to say on the matter. It'd be fantastic, the job he did at Reading, fantastic, the job he did at West Ham until he had his hand forced, fantastic again. Please, please for the love of God and all that is holy, NO NO and thrice NO!!! WHU have picked up 10 points from a possible 42 since the arrival of the 2 Argies. The man has done ok to get them promoted, but they have not really done well in the Prem. We need to think longer term and install a manager who will get us up, and KEEP us up!! He has made questionable decisions, not least the buying of the 2 Argentinians, and yes the football might be attractive but ultimately the league position does not lie. LWICD, I am soooo surprised at you. Curbs would be good, Guus Hiddink or the Tink. This could be a great new era at City - or we could blow it...

Leicfox Posted 11 December 2006 Posted 11 December 2006 And scolari? Scolari is the 3rd fav on betfair @23/1
Turtles Head Posted 11 December 2006 Posted 11 December 2006 Thats a VERY nice bet to have. Im gonna whack a few quid on that
RowlattsFox Posted 11 December 2006 Posted 11 December 2006 what was scolari's record as a club manager like?

So last season was bloody awful for West Ham was it? I mean, if he got promoted, and we did what they did, it would be a bad season obviously. Finishing 9th in the Prem? Rubbish I tells ya! As for buying the Argentinians... you honestly think that was actually something he really wanted to do? He thought to himself over the summer, who do I want? Tevez and Mascherano, let's go buy them! There's so much unknown crap about that deal that you can't honestly believe that it was really his own decision.

I think someone at LCFC needs to give a big lecture to all "fans" who seem to think MM is the next Roman Ambramovic, and let the know exactly what this means for the club. Curbs is going to go to West Ham, will tell you that now for free. Guss Hiddink is Russian national manager, he's going nowhere. Claudio Raneri is A) a liabilty and B) not coming to mid table Championship team, which is what we will be even with Manadrics money. Time to get real people.
