Alan Pardew

Post by 1964white »

In his seventh managerial position this journeyman is looking likely at yet another dtsmissal as the Baggies look doomed at the bottom of the premiership

At Newcastle he engineered a seven year contract which I assume the Geordies finally paid off last year
On 3 January 2015, Pardew was confirmed as the new Crystal Palace manager, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract with the club after a compensation package of £3.5 million was agreed. He was sacked a year later
On 29 November 2017, Pardew was appointed as the new manager of Premier League club West Bromwich Albion signing a contract lasting until the end of the 2019–20 season

This smooth-talking guy is an affluent wealthy man continually making a pigs-ear of any job he undertakes

He's a bit of a dick and he's not the best manager around, but he's not that bad.

Grayson could only dream of the success he's had, yet he goes from one job to another, and will be very wealthy for a manager who's a disaster above League 1 level.

Prize money is skinny in bowls tournaments as you imply Norm. The winner of the recent World Championship picked up £50k. Still wish I'd have taken up the game as a kid :(

I wonder how many sackings that is for AP - seems to have made a career out of occasional mediocrity and frequent underachievement, with him getting more money from paid-off contracts than anything else.

One way to make a living I suppose. He's the one laughing all the way to the bank.

Read all about him - even more controversial than we thought Leon. The following link is a comprehensive report on him, although it's Wikipedia so is not guaranteed to be perfect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Pardew

Pardew's initial contract with Newcastle in December 2010 was 5.5 years, with an 8-year extension agreed in September 2012, which casts serious doubt on Mike Ashley's sanity. He was kept on despite fan protests and near-riots from the fanbase at times but in December 2014 he was given permission to talk to Crystal Palace and left Newcastle with compensation agreed.

Reading that, he sounds like an arrogant nutter tbh, having some intermittent and occasional success but clueless at other times.
