Pardew Sacked

Alan pardew has been sensationally sacked by Saints.

A brief club statement issued sometime after 8am on Monday morning confirmed that Alan Pardew and his coaching staff have been sacked by the Club, with Dean Wilkins taking temporary charge in the short tem.

Although speculation has been rife, indeed on this site I commented that the next week could be crucial for the manager, it came as a total shock, coming as it did after an emphatic away win.

Rumours were rife at the end of last season that he was about to be sacked, but for one reason or another he seemed to have ridden the storm, it is very strange that it has now happened and the timing may suggest that the replacement has already been lined up, possibly prior to the weekend. 

Whilst I have always expressed the view that Pardew's season heare last term was "reasonable" rather than good or great as some supporters would claim, I also stated that he had done enough to show that he was moving the Club forward and should continue this year, it now seems that that pace is not quick enough for the Chairman.
