[The Specky Forum Organiser 64,741]

Seems pretty split. Personally I'd be happy.

One thing we should all be positive about is he definitely wouldn't take it without some assurances about having a decent budget.

[ShanksRFC 3,869]

Decent manager but does seem to be a bit of a prick

From what's been reported so far, and that's all I can go on because I don't pretend to have inner knowledge of what's going on at the club like so many other people do, I would say not very far.

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,792]

I don't know why this board would want to appoint Mike Ashley's mate as the manager.

Pardew has been involved in several controversial issues and events. In 2003, the BBC described him as being a "dangerous and distant animal" in the media, referring to his lack of public relations abilities, which has led him to making several rash comments.[93] When at West Ham, the club employed a media advisor for Pardew to help him win over sceptical fans.[3] The following is a list of controversies Pardew has been involved in:

In September 2003, Pardew resigned from Reading after being refused permission to become manager at West Ham. Reading's chairman John Madejski attempted to create an injunction in the High Court to prevent him from moving to West Ham. Eventually Reading's legal action was dropped, and Pardew joined West Ham after a period ofgardening leave.[17]

In March 2006, Pardew had a dispute with Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger, after he criticised Arsenal for failing to field an English player in their UEFA Champions Leaguewin against Real Madrid.[94] Wenger suggested that Pardew was being xenophobic,[95] a claim Pardew denied, citing his marriage to a Swedish woman.[96]

In November 2006, Pardew had another dispute with Wenger after celebrating West Ham's win over Arsenal.[97] Wenger claimed he was provoked into pushing Pardew after Pardew's celebrations at West Ham's late win.[98] Wenger was later fined by the Football Association,[99] while Pardew was cleared of the charges in January 2007.[100]

In October 2007, Pardew intervened on the pitch in a match against Hull City to try to break up a confrontation between Charlton and Hull players after Lloyd Sam and Ian Ashbee were sent-off. Pardew denied he made the situation worse by intervening.[101]

In March 2009, Pardew stated on Match of the Day 2 that Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien "absolutely rapes" Manchester City player Ched Evans during a midfield tussle for the ball, in the sense that he bested him physically.[102] The BBC explained why there was no on-air apology, saying: "What Alan Pardew said was misheard, it was thought he used the word 'rakes.'".[103]

On the opening day of the 2012–13 Premier League season against Tottenham Hotspur, Pardew pushed an official after an incident where the ball appeared to go over the touchline, but the referee deemed it to still be in play. Pardew later apologised, citing his behaviour as "ridiculous".[104]

In January 2014, during the Premier League match against Manchester City Pardew verbally abused opposition manager Manuel Pellegrini. Pellegrini initially confronted Pardew on the touchline and accused Pardew of frivolously contesting every decision by the referee and was trying to dishonestly deceive the officials even when it was an obvious decision in Manchester City's favour. After the initial skirmish Pardew was caught on Sky Sports television cameras calling Pellegrini "a fucking old cunt". Pardew later apologised only after being confronted by journalists about his abusive language.[105] Pellegrini shrugged off the incident but said he disagreed with Pardew's approach to contesting every decision by the referee.[106]

In March 2014, Pardew was sent to the stands after headbutting Hull City player David Meyler. The ball went out of play near Pardew and Meyler pushed past him to quickly resume play, at which point Pardew headbutted Meyler. Although Pardew apologised for his actions, he was fined £100,000 by Newcastle United and given a formal warning.[107][108] On 11 March, the FA handed Pardew a three-game stadium ban with a touchline ban for a further four games. He was also fined £60,000 by the FA, in addition to the £100,000 fine from Newcastle United.[109]

I'd hope so. Who is it to be then Mitchell or Wilson? If it's Wilson and his boss is saying that then who do you believe? 

I don't think us approaching Wilson and us not approaching Southampton are necessarily mutually exclusive.

[BridgeIsBlue 66,606]

This has probably already been posted on here and I've missed it so here goes anyway.

Our best option to move forward imo is to wait until the summer and do everything in our power to get Frank de Boer here,now it seems like the board want a permanent appointment made now rather than in a few months time.

So would you rather wait and possibly get what should be our #1 candidate,or possibly jump the gun now and miss out?

Me personally I'd rather wait,season's been a write off for months anyway.

I'd personally like our next manager to have had experience in managing Scottish football,  What I think we'll get is a head coach with a view to be promoted to manager at a later date and a DoF. My choice of DoF would be Paul Mitchell as he seems to know what he's doing and is good at it.

I can see both ends of this topic. I would love us to wait for Frank de Boer but I think we need someone to come in now and stop this slide we are on.

At this rate we will finish 4th or 5th.

[The Specky Forum Organiser 64,741]

Writing the season off is such a diddy club mentality, we could easily finish 4th/5th and miss out on Europe if Murty stays in charge.

The only way we should wait on FDB is if we negotiate the deal now and he waits until the summer to take over. 

[Prso's headband 35,459]

So Pardew is probably people's 2nd or 3rd choice. I don't think it's a bad shout I just don't think you get two good seasons out him in a row and I'd rather him than Wright, McInnes, Rowett, Davies etc.

The muck are going to win the league shortly and more than likely a treble along with it,while we're 9 points behind Aberdeen and only 5 in front of Hertz so how is this season not a write off?
