Doesn't really tell us anything we didn't know already. A bit of a **** as a person but a far better manager than he was given credit for at the time, with no support from above. It was all about making money on players rather than investing in the team. We should have been relegated far earlier than we were.
Pardew was just another manager that did a good job that the fans didn't like. He did very well, but sadly Ashley sold all our best players and replaced them with absolute ****e. Pardew did fine
I've been arguing this with you for months and you've always denied it. Strange sudden change of tune for you. But yes, he was a good manager. We played good football when we had to players for it, we went on a Europa league run, we didn't go down, he left us perfectly safe in 12th. He never should of left in truth, we probably wouldn't have gone down like we did under McClaren, he did have a really good season at Palace, but it ended badly. Hindsight ini
I think I'm seeing it differently these days because of the situation with Bruce. I think looking at it now it's the same issue which is that we just didn't want pardew so when it went wrong he got the blame rather than Ashley..
