Re: Freedman out!
I don't believe the bulk of the players are poor (Trotter excepted, natch). I think they are mystified by what this clown is asking them to do. They are dazed and, may I say, confused. I truly believe a herniated goat could get them playing better.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Except, without reopening the quotegate, he never said that.coffeymagic wrote:'Get real' What a cheeky c*nt.
Rest of what you say, I can't argue with. But to be fair, he never said "Get real".

Re: Freedman out!
It's intriguing to wonder how late we could stay in the bottom three without them taking a calculated gamble. Presuming his (and others') contract ends in June, as reported, it becomes less and less expensive to pop him in the garden.Bruce Rioja wrote:See, we were discussing this on Saturday.

Re: Freedman out!
Given his own team's performance at the same time, I think Pardew would think it remarkable and praiseworthy if "3 or 4" of his team were still trying in the first 10 minutes!bobo the clown wrote:Would Pardew think it remarkable and praiseworthy that "3 or 4" of his team were still trying in the last 10 minutes ? Or that teamwork was almost unique to his amazing managerial techniques ? Or that this may be achieved by setting the players and fans against each other was a strategy ?
More importantly, would he think Trotter would be better on the pitch or shovelling leaves ?
But yeah, pish.

Re: Freedman out!
Today is D-Day.
It's Darlington 1985 all over again. Minute crowd, uninspired players, befuddled manager and opposition who will really enjoy twisting the knife.
Lose tonight and it's all over for the Wanderers.

I'm not asking you to 'think outside the box' I just wish you'd have a rummage around in it once in a while.

Re: Freedman out!
Apparently there are a couple of posts on Twitter saying Freedman has been potted!! Probably total nonsense though..

Re: Freedman out!
Two things:-
1. My understanding is that Freedman was only given a 2 1/2 year contract in 2012 and that this has not been renewed, and so his departure before the end of this season would appear to be cheap and inevitable.
2. Freedman's time in charge appears to have been consistent only in producing a total lack of consistency from the team, even when the squad was stronger than it is now. Indeed it can be argued with some force that the squad has consistently performed beneath what it was capable of and this continues until the present time.
His departure is therefore welcome and inevitable. What is far from clear is who will and should replace him. Despite our lowly position in the championship the size and reputation of this club with its excellent ground, facilities and academy should still attract a manager of significant quality.
But they mustn't wait too long......

Re: Freedman out!
Sets himself ridiculously low targets which he has yet to achieve. Sounds a bit like my service record.
Don't try to be a great man. Just be a man and let history make up its own mind.

Re: Freedman out!
He was recruited into a season. His 2.5 or almost 3 year contract, runs until the end of this season.

Re: Freedman out!
Indeed not, but it did make me check his contract length, and I was aghast to find it had another full season left... until I remembered it's already 2014. His contract does indeed seem to run out next June – and although A1 raises a spooky spectre, that's when the club was throwing money about like a man with no arms (or indeed DDA Drug Bar)...
