From 606

[Taybha]

It has been a long drawn out affair but the new manager will be announced today by 5.00. Gannon and Ince are out of the reckoning and Boothroyd also turned us down although this is not common knowledge. The final two are Pardew and Slade. Pardew wants a 3 yr contract and to bring in his own backroom and Slade has been offered an initial six month contact with an automatic 18 month extension if we stay up. So it will be one of these two. Knight prefers Slade but the Blooms prefer Pardew. Lets see who gets their choice

your guess is as good as mine

Link?

Pardew please. Forget the history. Coppell did a bloody good job IMO, and we all know his history.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Of them two Pardew.

Although it is likely to be bollocks

BBC - 606 - - A48252314 - New Manager -the wait is nearly over

 

[Franks Wild Years]

If Pardew wants to bring in his own staff then he get my vote.

 

[Brian Fantana]

Pardew PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE!

 

[fozzie's headband]

Pardew for me

 

[NF9]

Lies,lies and more lies!
Do people get off on posting things like that or what?
SLADE PLEASE!

 

[crodonilson]

Slade for me, done a good job at his 3 clubs. Pardew was an abject failure at Charlton and a one season wonder at West H'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'm.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Ehy would Slade only get an additional 18months if he kept us up? That means his contract would run out in January 2011...a bit strange, no?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

if its true I would go for Pardew on the basis he will bring in his own assistants. Slade would go for the easy option and retain the dynamic duo.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

If this is to be believed then I want Pardew. NOT because he is a better manager but because he is more serious about the job. First, he wants a three-year contract and doesn't want to mess around with a six month and then I'll be off deal. Secondly he wants to bring in his own team. What professional manager wouldn't. New management, new broom and let's be honest we need to clean out the backroom. Slade seems a bit too needy if he agrees.

Of course, this is IF this is to be believed.

 

[gruntage]

if this is true. i am excited! we will finally know.

i hope i am not disappointed come 5. firstly that this was a lie and secondly that the manager is shite!

Exactly what he said.

Hang on, he took them up in one season and got them to the cup final in another, so that is more than one season.

 

[Taybha]

I go with the pinch of salt theory but of the two i would like to see Mr Slade given the chance.

 

[wehatepalace]

Pardew for me.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Either will do, just hurry up, we've got a vital game on satdi.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

If Slade is appointed - we are all doomed.
