Alan Pardew sacked by West Ham
-
ALAN PARDEW has been sacked by West Ham after the club's recent run of dismal form.
The club confirmed in a statement: “West Ham United have today announced the departure from the Club of Alan Pardew.
Alan has made an important contribution since joining as manager in September 2003 but this season's results have been disappointing and have left the Club in a very difficult position.
The Chairman, Mr Eggert Magnusson, and the Board have been concerned by the performances of recent weeks and feel that it is the right time to make a change in the best interests of the Club.
Mr Magnusson and the Board would like to place on the record their thanks to Alan Pardew for his hard work and commitment and to wish him well for the future. The search for a successor is now underway in order that a new manager can be in place ahead of the January transfer window.
First Team Coach Kevin Keen will take temporary charge of team affairs until a new appointment has been made.
No further statements on this matter will be made by the Club before that time.” -

Is it the Argentine's fault?

i tink its the argentineS' fault. who could have predicted them to perform so badly? the epl was taken aback when they revealed the 2 mega signings.Originally posted by RockeY:Is it the Argentine's fault? -
Yea, and West Ham always seem to perform better without playing them.Originally posted by monoslayer:i tink its the argentineS' fault. who could have predicted them to perform so badly? the epl was taken aback when they revealed the 2 mega signings. -
When they first came...
Now 4 months later... Sad ending for him...
-
Sad...He was quite a good manager!!!!
Ex England coach will be in the line running for the post. -
espected
-
so which manager will be next?
-
Alan Pardew is a respected manager and hope he'll get a offer soon.
Tevez n Maschereno came in a bad time where they need goals badly and they are still accustomed to the ruff and tumbles of EPL. Reserves are somewhat on the thin too. -
Are Tevez n Maschereno jinx to Alan Pardew?
-
i think so, the team was doing well before they came in.Originally posted by Dead_Man_Inc:Are Tevez n Maschereno jinx to Alan Pardew? -
2nd managerial casualty of the season.

South Americans are naturally not suitable for EPL because they are more of technical players.
West Ham was doing reasonably well before the signing of the Argentinians. I was taken aback when they chose to sign for West Ham when big clubs like United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan were all rumoured to be interested in them. I thought West Ham could be serious title challengers but wad-da-ya-know, they free-falled.
I think it's important to note that there's no point signing a manager that has caused his previous club to relegate. Think O'Leary, Dowie, Robson. It would make the club look really silly when those managers sign 2nd/3rd choice players from big clubs becos those players seriously suck. Think Djemba-Djemba, Traore, Diomansy Kamara.
Cheers.

Did David O'Leary take any club to the lower division? Leeds sacked him before they went into freefall in 2003.Originally posted by CKeer:South Americans are naturally not suitable for EPL because they are more of technical players.

anyway i find pardew very cool. he speaks very softly even under pressure. -
Ah well, the manager always takes the rap for any bad signing made. Reality is harsh indeed.Originally posted by dragg:how can it be their fault when they hardly play?

there are many south americans in the EPL.
solano, angel, de la cruz, heinz, gonzalez and many others
it depends on the individual teams' style of play.
remember osvaldo ardiles and steve archilbald when they were at spurs in the now defunct league division? -
Yes, he was sacked before they went into freefall in 2003.Originally posted by iveco:Did David O'Leary take any club to the lower division? Leeds sacked him before they went into freefall in 2003.
But he did spent millions on players and relied on qualifying for the Champions League - which he has failed to. O'Leary had spent £100 million on new players in less than four years for relatively little reward leaving Leeds £80 million debts.
In my opinion, since you've spent so much money on players when your club is not that rich in the first place, there should be at lease 1 to 2 silverwares but sadly, there were none. The morale of the club is bound to be on the negative side becos the club wasn't winning any trophy and is badly in debt, plus the departure of the man that gave them their chance to play. I think O'Leary indirectly "caused" the club to relegate.
Also, Villa wasn't up to their best when O'Leary was in charge.

John Terry could make himself more useful @ St James' Park. -
i hope the rich investor will buy the smaller clubs to balance things up.Originally posted by iveco:Ah, if only Red Rom had bought out Leeds. They wouldn't be where they are now.

otherwise we will only see the big clubs getting much bigger and the EPL become one-sided. -

De la Cruz left Villa, Solano, Angel & Gonzalez are fringe players. I think Heinze was lucky to get back into United's defence becos of an injury to Evra.
Ok, i made a stereotyped-sentence. But my point is, South Americans are technically gifted. Whereas in EPL, games are played in a much faster pace and physical plays. There isn't much room for them to show their magic. Did any Brazilians play in the EPL?
