Seems the players just never respected him from the start. Senior players let him down without doubt. Not standing up for him any way his recent record is abysmal.I really though Pardew would keep West Brom up when he first signed.
He's excellent in his first season - it's his 2nd season which always gets him fired
West Brom wasn't a solid enough proposition for this world-class manager. Guardiola and Mourinho wouldn't have managed a thing with the set of players currently at WBA. Pards is still up there with the best in the country/world.
