JFK-1 1,693 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Perhaps a cautionary tale? Constant chopping and changing of management is rarely a good thing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 10,813 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 To be fair, I saw the logic: moving on from the prehistoric Pulis, onto a better brand of football, while maintaining that PL stability. Pardew was not a bad option, but he just wasn't able to get results. It wasn't a guarantee. Did he even get a transfer window? I note some are still touting Pardew as a good move for us. I don't see it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,813 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 incidentally, I've got the Preston-Derby game on and Alex Neil has Preston playing some very nice, attacking stuff. They are a bit open defensively, though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 6,158 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 In March 2017 WBA attained a position of absolute safety, almost respectability, in the EPL. The players minds went onto the beach and they hardly won a game the rest of the season. I reckoned the slide would become unstoppable. At the start of this season they were my prediction for relegation (to the incredulity of fellow poster Gribz) and lo it has come to pass. All down to the players, I’m afraid, but an experienced bloke like Pardew should never have allowed the Barcelona cantrips to have happened. The damage was done long before then, however. Pity because I like the Albion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,399 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 A league where money flows,albeit at differing levels,and a manager who completely fails(not for the first time) so hopefully none of us on here touts him for us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
