New Manager

WhenIwasLittleBoy

Its now becoming apparent on the board that alot of fans are not happy, and clearly the fans are now rounding on Pardew, he has had alot of money to spend, and has proved to be tactically nieve as well as non motivator.

Who would you like to see as a new Charlton should he get the chop/walk in the summer, in which i can see happening or by October.

I'd like to see Jose Mourinho but it wont happen.

Well, considering we're not in the Prem, it wouldn't affect his pay-off with Chelsea - so what else is stopping him? ;o)

Give Pardew another season. Someother people should have a good look at themselves aswell.

I'd like to see a quiet, unassuming intelligent manager on the way up who looks upon Charlton as aspirations for his career not some big time charlie who thinks we are just a stepping stone to better and bigger things. Unfortunately I dont know any. Perhaps the guy at Swansea.

WhenIwasLittleBoy

Not him my wife would want a season ticket then

WhenIwasLittleBoy

Martinez would be a good shout, what is Costa doing now??

We are always going to be this, whether it is a manager, a player, a coach or even the staff behind the scenes.

We're not a "big" club and anyone who did not look to move to a bigger and better role would be stupid in my opinion.

And Martinez?! Based on a single promotion with Swansea? Give me a break. We'd lose a couple of games and be moaning that we appointed a manager with no experience of this league and hardly any management experience.

Sorry as much as the man frustrates me it's Gotta be Pardew for the whole of next season, anyone who just thinks changing the manager changes everything clearly wasn't paying much attention last season.

Elthamaddick

what is all this nonsense....keep Pardew and give him another year FFS.

If people spent half as much energy supporting him as they do slagging him things could be a little better...

Has he proved tactically niave as well as a non motivator at both Reading and West Ham???.....maybe the players should have a closer look at themselves !

I dont disagree but my point was at some stage of their career development curve we are a 'big club' and a move up not just an interim until something better comes along.

Post of the day...

WhenIwasLittleBoy

what has been the difference between last season and this, Pardew is overated, and has clearly lost the changing room and evem more so the fans, they will be ready to pounce on him just as they did Dowie and Read, how can a man who had the fans eating out of his hands when he arrived, slag them off in his programme notes on more than one occassion have a spat with the CEO run a team of 37 players have a home record that is relegation form, drops players from the squad not the team the squad like a hot spud, and you want to give him more money and time,

LenGlover

I'm in the Pardew deserves more time camp BUT if he did go of his own volition, which in my view is distinctly possible, then I would go for somebody like Dave Jones. Worked wonders at Stockport to get them into the Championship (or whatever it was called back then), kept Southampton in the Prem, did a decent job at Wolves and has done well with Cardiff this season.

He is not a "Bertie Big-Bollocks" unlike the Mullery for the new Millenium presently at the helm.

It is probably still too soon for Curbs to come home.

The ones who shout the loudest and constantly post?

No brainer, keep Pards

WSS

And what is this "spat with the CEO". Surely you can't be talking about the South Stand issue because that would be really petty.

[quote][cite]Posted By: WSS[/cite]And what is this "spat with the CEO". Surely you can't be talking about the South Stand issue because that would be really petty.[/quote] Exactly, so should these things be discussed at the opreate time with the relevenat peoaple rather than doing it in open forum, he seems to think that what he says goes, i want i want i want, Reg then comes out the following week anfd highlights the reasons why we cant move fans into the south stand, a waste of time and energy for VArney, rather than worrying about where fans are located Pardew should just keep his head down and do what he is paid to do, all he is doing in the meantime is winding his employees up and the fans by not getting the results, u have to earn the boards respect, they moved heaven and earth for Curbishley, and their wont be many clubs or manager s that do what they did for Curbs when he left on that last day. Take a leave out of his book, get the team playing and motivated, get promotion, get them established in the premiership and then ask to have the south stand

I was a great Pards fan and thought it was a massive signing when we got him, and he was the man to take us forward, but looking at his team selections, reading his comments, and watching the teams performances, Pardew thinks he is the Dogs B****** , but he has to prove it first, he has joint hte club on a past reputation, just like the players we signed eighteen months ago.

We need consistency now look at the top 8 in the championship apart from the scum I think all have managers in at least there second season.

we can but dream len we can but dream for the miracle years to return

i think pardew should be given one more full season to see what he does... i just wish we'd given the ugly one the same amount of time and his own backroom team but we didn't so i think pardew should have one more season cos he couldn't do worse next year, could he??

razil

he's on his third transfer window and arguably has had plenty of time to build a side. He lost his bottle rather like he did last season, playing such a defensive line up at home against a lower side, when he should have been going for it..

WSS

Would you give Curbs another 5/6 years to get out of the league like his first time then?

razil

its an entirely different scenario from the curbsera if you think about it.

roseandcrown

Whatever your views on Pards are if he is manager next year which I fully expect and hope he is we need to all get behind him and the team because for whatever reason the players just don’t seem to like playing at the Valley and if we are going to do anything we need to win the majority of our home games.

WSS

Exactly, one that we cannot compare because the industry as a whole and the club has changed so much.

Therefore maybe we should shut up about about the West Ham manager.

razil

If he has lost the fans and the dressing room (I'm not sure on either), I think that may be quite difficult. Just think if he starts off next season in a similar vein, he won't last long I should imagine.

WhenIwasLittleBoy

dont forget his most famous achievment as a player.........scoring the winning foal for Palace in the FA Cup semi final at Villa Park againest Liverpool, where is the mans heart

Big William

There's usually nothing to be gained by keep chopping managers, but if we start next season like we've finished this then some tough decisions will need to be made. I see no evidence whatsoever that Pardew has any strategy on who to build a team around or even how he wants to play. It's just a scattergun approach and it's getting us nowhere.

Rolls eye.

And Curbs heart was at Upton Park.

Ledge

This is effing barking. New manager will bring in new players who will in turn need time to gel , EVERY manager who goes to a new club will say exactly that and then we will be back to square one.

MADNESS.

Paul Ince or Mark Kinsella for me anyway.

As if Martinez will come to us - they been promoted have as good as, if not better, stadium SUPPORT of the fans. Something none of you lot can guarantee he'll get if we don't win first 10 games on the bounce. Same goes for the Ince and anyone that comes. I despair.

Bloke behind me saturday boo'd after 5 minutes and then for 85 said over and over again this team don't want to win they don't want go up Pardew's deliberately not winning ... is this what our support has turned into.
