An amusing Pardew story

[Hugo Rune]

Now confirmed. Perfect match imo. He is the man to guide them into the Championship!

 

[Triggaaar]

He did resign from Newcastl before signing for Palace

How does that work? His resignation wouldn't be accepted unless the release fee is paid, and Palace won't pay that until Pardew signs a contract with them.

He can't have a signed contract for two clubs at the same time, so he must resign from Newcastle before he signs for Palace surely. I imagine its the same as a house purchase where a third party holds the money

 

[Harry H]

The only way is down.

So they were waiting for the Palace cheque to clear - wise man that Ashley

 

[lawros left foot]

Did they try the one p in the pound trick again?

With a house purchase you sign to buy, and you sign to sell, but neither happen until your conveyancer agrees with the other etc. A manager could sign a new contract, subject to some conditions etc. But what Pardew couldn't do, was just resign and not have anything to do with Newcastle anymore, until Palace paid Newcastle the agreed fee.

It's almost as if people want him to fail at Palsarse

 

[TomandJerry]

Crystal Palace have appointed Newcastle boss Alan Pardew as their new manager.

Now, I can't vouch for the truthfulness of this story, but I was told by a friend with good links to some ex pro footballers, who relayed the story to him. Apparently, Ashley at Newcastle was looking for an excuse to bin Alan, but didnt want to pay off his contract, bonuses etc. The Palace hierarchy asked for permission to speak to Pardew, and Ashley couldn't give his consent soon enough. Parrish promised Pardew the earth, huge bonus, big pot of cash for players etc,so Pardew tells Ashley he's leaving Newcastle, and moving to Croydon, Ashley okays the deal for 2mill in compensation, and he doesn't have to pay Pardew any bonuses etc that he has acrued. So far, so good, Alan goes back to Palace, saying "I'm your man, wheres the contract?" to which, Parrih says theres been a slight change of plan, and gives him a contract that is nowhere near as good as the one he'd previously looked at, and if palace go down, he would be one of the least payed managers in the Championship.
Having burnt his bridges at Newcastle, and not being the most popular man in football, Pardew has no option but to sign, the new contract, or be out of a Premier League job, with no prospect of another one any time soon.
As I said at the start of this story, I have no way of telling how true this is, but I was told it is causing considerable mirth in football circles, as Pardew is really not liked at all

Makes no sense. These guys don't need the money.

Never heard of him

 

[TomandJerry]

Never heard of him

Who? Me either!

 

[Chicken Runner61]

For £3.5M they surely could have kept Pulis at the start of the season, add in Colin's Compo this is pure stupidity - lovely stuff!

As I say, I can't vouch for the authenticity of the story, but it was told to me by someone who has no need to make it up, and it was told to him by a certain ex player with links to us, and West Ham who is not Pardew greatest fan. He also said the hold up with announcing Hughton for us, was down to contract length and nothing else

George Parris then .

 

[Vegas Seagull]

So the £2m is added to the other £5m or £10m in the bank...let's all laugh at his terrible luck

 

[Chicken Runner61]

Pardew is Palarses 2nd highest signing

 

[wellquickwoody]

Utter drivel. The hold up on the announcement is because we're trying to take more of the backroom staff at St. James' Park including their performance analyst but Ashley is playing hardball.

Pardew met the players after the game yesterday and was at the training ground today, he'll also be taking training tomorrow. This is done and dusted

Good, I'm pleased. No really, I will be very pleased if this all goes through, happy as fxxkin Larry if the truth be told!

 

[Chicken Runner61]

£3.5M!! There is going to be a minutes laughter before kick off at most grounds tomorrow with that amount paid for him

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

I give him until April, or until he presents the next series of DIY SOS

Nigel Adkins just pips it for me. I don't even care about the keep up comment, and I thought he took the stick well when he came to withdean, I just can't stand his stupid face.
