Fuck right off. I'd stop going if that smarmy cunt was in charge
 

Ha, ha, ha. It's obviously a wind up!

But for motivation in stopping us up you'd have to look for a long time to find anyone with more of it given his experiences with the Mags and Palace.
 
No. Can't stand the twat.

Now Ellis Short doesn't give a shit maybe he can delegate the decision to Bain and he can go and get Roy Keane. Keane can come knowing Ellis will be shipping out soon enough.
 
We are just about at the point where anyone would be preferable, but still not at that point to want Pardew.
 
Our managers have/are high quality it's the constant changing of managers costing a millions causing the problems. No wonder our team looks patchwork. Pressure to change the manager every other week is crippling the club.
 
From Steve Bacon (our club photogrohper for decades) book -

‘I don’t like Alan Pardew, there, I’ve said it. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever known a more arrogant person in my life. There was one occasion when I threatened to stick a fork in his hand. I was sort of joking, but there were definitely times when I felt like swinging at him. Or telling him to fork off, if you follow my drift.

‘Let me tell you a story. In fact, it’s called the ‘King story’ among those who were present and who believe it’s a perfect example of Pardew’s arrogance. We were staying at a hotel in the North East ahead of a game at Sunderland during Alan’s first season in charge and were about to have our Friday evening meal…I sat down with Pardew…and fitness coach Tony Strudwick, who now works for Manchester United and has done very well for himself. We ordered our meals and suddenly Pardew asked us all what were were having. I think Eddie said he’d gone for the chicken, while I’d chosen the steak.

‘Pards then turned to Struds, who revealed whatever it was he’d asked for. ‘That sounds good,’ said Pards. ‘Tell you what; if yours is better than mine when it turns up, I’m having that. That was one of the things he’d always say: I’m having that. ‘See that bloke’s haircut. I’m having that.’ He said it all the time. Anyway, I wasn’t ‘having that’ at all. So I said ‘Well, you’re certainly not having my dinner. You’ll get a fork in the back of your hand!’ Pardew sort of laughed, before turning back to Struds and saying, ‘Yeah, if yours is better than mine, I’m having that.’

‘Our meals eventually arrived and Pards looked at Tony and said, ‘Yeah, I was right, yours definitely looks much better than mine; I’m having that.’ And he went to swap the plates over. ‘You can’t do that!’ I said. ‘What do you mean?’ he asked. ‘You can’t just take somebody’s else’s dinner,’ I said in disbelief. And he replied, without any hint of a joke, ‘When you’re the King, you can do anything.’

I'd love for him to try and swap my dinner round would spark him out. You never touch a mans food especially mine ha.

My lass always wants a bit of my steak everytime I get one as she says she only likes a bite. Safe to say she gets nowt if you want it order it end of.

What about Lee Clark pal? Think he'd have the similar effect that you speak of. He's a passionate local lad, holds a special place in the Sunderland fan's hearts (his one very minor misunderstanding aside), has experienced matches at a half emtpy SoL. He's managed low level 2nd rate teams too, so SAFC would be an obvious next step for the lads career.

;)
