If Slade is appointed - we are all doomed.

errrr why?

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

I really cannot see DK giving anyone a 3 year contract this time.

 

[Bluejuice]

I've been warming to the idea of Slade and never really fancied Pardew BUT at the end of the day I'd probably be happy if he was appointed as it's a reasonably big name boss with a reasonably good background.

Right now I just want it to HAPPEN

 

[brightonmad999]

Pardew for me and i hope he does bring in his own staff

 

[Forster's Armband]

Alan Pardew please. New era, new staff up the football league we go!!!!

 

[supaseagull]

Pardew with Fozzie as his assistant.

 

[Box of Frogs]

Another vote for Pardew from me

 

[sten_super]

Pardew for me as well

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Martin Ling.

But of those two, Russell Slade.

You are obsessed with Martin Ling ! He is actually shit, didn't he get sacked by Orient ?

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Martin Ling would take us into the Prem within 5 years!

Yes, he was cack this season with the Orient, but when you consider the size of their fanbase and where they were when he took over, he's done brilliantly. He got them into this league and then kept them here last season, they flirted with the play offs in the early part of last season remember. Just because things went wrong this season, doesn't mean he's not worth a punt. My vote is Ling.

I think you mean If Pardew is appointed we're doomed

 

[Tricky Dicky]

It this is true and it's a choice between these two, personally I'd go for Pardew. If he's asking for a 3 year deal, then he's not thinking short term. Also, while I would like to be loyal to our current employees, I think a fresh new backup team can give the whole club a lift and reinvigorate us for this season and going forward.

My gut feeeling tells me however, that the Pardew plus backroom option would be too expensive for us and we'll be left with Slade. I don't know much about him, but to me it seems like second best and a punt on someone who has not managed at a very high level.

OI!!!!! You paraphrased my post!!!!

 

[Rusco]

IMO Pardew would be a disaster for this club

 

[gruntage]

I smell bullshit with this rumour. My bet is no manager annouced today

 

[Springal]

Andy Whing said in the Herald they were told on Monday a new manager would be in by Saturday...?

 

[sten_super]

IMO Pardew would be a disaster for this club

Why? Not being confrontational, I'm genuinely interested. I think he'd be a good appointment, especially given the position we're in and the calibre of manager we can attract from that position.

 

[Marshy]

PARDEW....has to be him or we are down
