Pardew leaves West Brom after 4 months

DenMan

10 defeats in a row and surely doomed! Hopefully they'll get somebody in now that will stay with them in the Championship next season!

delighted.

the sooner the likes of himself and Hughes stop getting jobs at these relegation threatened/mid-table clubs the better.

That's a shame. I know a few Geordies that were looking to give him a really hospitable welcome back to St James' Park at the end of the month.

Tom Mann Centuria

Not a fan but if he's no longer steering a club to oblivion, he'll have more time to be a pundit on television.

No one can get the club out of things now not even Harry Redknapp the master of relegation avoidance.

Bruce would be a great shout.

I'd prefer him to stay at Villa and get them up via the play-offs.

How many Pardew threads does boards need? The man's ego will be thrilled.

Pardew to Villa could actually be a good shout. Villa fans will probably want him out already.

Didn't feel like he had 18 games but what a bad run

BoJack Horseman

Pardiola getting his near annual sacking along with Hughes, Big Sam, Pulis etc always makes me think of Paul Merson's "why has it always got to be a foreign manger".

This cohort stink out the league with their mediocrity.

They are essentially the bed-blockers of the managerial world.

A truly awful manager.

Mick McCarthy must be nailed on for this job.

Agent Coulson

Martin O'Neill would be the perfect man for WBA now.



Please take it Martin.

He is leaving Ipswich at the end of the season Sky Sports News said.

West Brom? Could have sworn he was at Stoke. Hard to keep track of where he, Mark Hughes, Allardyce at Moyes are these days.

Look around the bottom end of the table in most seasons

Hughes is a very good manager. Most of the time his clubs are in the top ten at the end of the season.

You really haven't a clue.

Mark Hughes is most often finishing the season in the top ten. This is with clubs outside the big six so he is doing a good job.

Sam Allardyce had a very good record too when he spends a couple of years at a club.

Pulis too has a very good record in the Premier league.

You mightn't like the way their teams play football but they are very good at their jobs.

Na, I don't think so. Pulis had them in a bad place, had a very bad record IIRC over a period of 14 or 15 months or something, and had lost the fans (dwindling attendances) and were looking towards The championship if he stayed. The mistake was replacing him with Pardew, a strange appointment at the time, but to be honest there wasn't a queue to replace him. Indeed, it was suggested (leaked?) after the drinking session/bonding trip to Spain that Pardew was in line for the sack, but they couldn't get anyone to replace him.
WBA are in truth a championship club playing in the EPL, and until the last few years was ran on a Championship budget. Has changed a bit under Pulis, with an increasing wage bill, but no improvement in how secure they were in the EPL.

Yeah, a shame they couldn't find someone better than Pardew.. I think the team is good enough in the important areas to have stayed up. Their goals return has been poor, given that they have two strikers better than many of the other relegation candidates around them, in Rondon and Rodriguez. But they're still joint bottom in 'goals for'. They're just not playing to their strengths.

Pardew is a joke and shouldnt be anywhere near a premier league club. Hughes, Pulis and Big sam will get you points the ugly way so they stay up. Pardew is a farce to be fair
