Pardew leaves WBA

[Day]

 

[Sith Happens]

Has Gary denied any interested in the job yet?

[Gaspode]

So now several managers have had a go (and failed) at trying to persuade that group of players to perform to the peak of their abilities - seems to be something wrong in the squad - luckily for us, the mighty Rams aren't like tha......oh!

Odds on him starting next season in charge of us?

Please no. A serial failure. 

[Kernow]

He'll have another job somewhere soon. Remarkably. 

[MK-Ram]

Darren Moore in charge until further notice

[TigerTedd]

Seems a bit like a rat leaving a sinking ship. They’re down anyway, what’s to be gained? Other than not having a relegation on his cv. 

[maxjam]

Obviously thinks he's to good to manage in the Championship next season.

[Cisse]

Too little too late for Albions.

[irobinson]

hes a good dancer though lol? he nearly won the cup............

[Van der MoodHoover]

Nigel Pearson and Craig Shakespeare among early favourites according to Julian "Jules" Warren of SSN.

Perhaps they could go the whole way and have them as some kind of Leicester retro double act 

[Animal is a Ram]

The managerial equivalent of a substitute coming on and being hooked 10 minutes later.

A story exists from his West Ham days, and is told by a man called Stevie Bacon, who spent thirty years as West Ham's official photographer. Five years ago, he published a book regaling some of the stories he found himself privy to at the club, entitled There's Only One Stevie Bacon.

"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.’"

Simon Jordan ( who I'm grudgingly really liking more and more) said 'I actually like Alan Pardew, but this will give him more time to carry on his work as President of the Alan Pardew fan club' ??
