I thought as it is big football news in general it is worthy of it's own thread.
Have to say I'm very surprised by this move.
I do feel they have a decent backroom structure now so if RDM comes in I can see them going places.
He's a man's man and will motivate the team no problem at all.

Have to say I'm surprised,people complain at those wanting Pardew gone but he's been here three years...12 games really is no time at all.

Kevin Ball will take charge of the squad ahead of Tuesday night’s Capital One Cup game against Peterborough United and an announcement will be made in due course regarding a permanent successor.
The club would like to place on record its thanks to Paolo and his staff and wishes them well for the future.

Makes me wonder even more how the fck Pardew's still in a job. Our losses to Reading, Sunderland (ironically), Liverpool and Hull have in my opinion mostly outweighed the crap results PDC got.
I tend to agree and although I think PDC deserved more time at least Short has the minerals to act when there's a problem (I'm talking more about when he sacked O'Neill than PDC).
Be gutted if they got Poyet. Said pretty much all of last season that I wanted him or Martinez to replace Pardew.
.
PDC's views seem radical (sorry, meant that sincerely and about his management, the pun was purely coincidental), but what I cannot fathom is that a rigorous recruitment process would have clearly shown what he was going to do. Surely as owner you'd ask what they're going to do, how they intend to set things up, etc. You can't then chicken out 12 games later. Fair play for making the move, as it does seem to be a spectacular fck up. But in comparison......NUFC 0 - 6 Liverpool?!?!? I mean, that alone is a sackable offence. You wouldn't expect Real Madrid to literally pull your insides out of your own rectum, then wee on them. But the scousers did, and the manager survived.
Sorry, slightly deviating from the OP - Palace look even worse than the mackems. I am praying that Pardew can walk into the job - no pay-off, integrity intact, better fit for his 'talents'.
Oh wait, it's only the one track suit and cap he wears.
Think it's stuck to him now and he wears it to bed.
