No chance he will take a short term contract. His Ego would not allow anything other than 2 years. Will be good news for us if he gets the WBA job and they continue to slide as he cannot motivate players that are struggling.The women are ropey up their too so he will start cracking on to the players wives again. The dirty bugger.

Allardyce and Hodgson believe in organisation and sound defence but they are not as extreme as Pulis (noone is) and they have more than a plan A

I'm still confused by Nigelbrags post.
I think the order is as follows : We had Holloway, who resigned after being thumped at home to Fulham. Then Pulis stepped in and kept us up. After he left we had Warnock who got sacked after the boxing day home loss to Southampton. We then got Pardew who kept us up and started the following season brilliantly - up to Dec 15. He hung on for a year after that in which we were utter toilet (FA Cup aside) until we got shot of the useless tw@t last December. |

Not sure you can say Cabaye only looked decent for a few months under Pardew and then say hes looked good for Hodgson as a comparison when hes played about 6 games?
Pardew gets a lot of criticism on these boards and the fact was he shouldve been booted much earlier, but at times, by pure luck perhaps, we got some great results under himand had a lot more memorable days and played better football than those under Pulis. For this reason, and as a contract, WBA fans may want him there.

Can only judge on what we've seen cant we. And Cabaye looks as good as he has in Palace shirt at the moment.

Pardew was great for us in 2015, so much so that even after our dismal run in 2016 he still had a 40% win rate while manage for us overall. Expect him to do well at West Brom for 6-12 months as well. They have the fitness and drilled defensive shape, what they need is his early management that allows players like Rodriguez, Phillips and Chadli to attack with freedom and purpose. They are decent players and should do well until the inevitable fitness/tactic side unravels. |

Just goes to show how misleading stats can be.

So when we were 5th in the league and basically dominating the midfield week in week out Cabaye was poorer than he is now we have 1 win in 12?Don't get me wrong,Cabaye has been outstanding this season but he wasn't even close to being poor under Pardew.He was average at worst in the 2nd half of that season and still played a vital role in the cup run.

Personally, I don't think he's that good a coach, but he's very good at managing upwards and we, like others fell for it. Look at the fitness work Allardyce had to do after his departure and look how Cabaye, amongst others has come on since he left. However, perhaps it's him that West Brom needs, if they want to be entertained. His style is the antithesis of Pulis. Allardyce is like-for-like; Koeman and Bilic have been sacked recently for abject failure. O'Neill won't go to West Brom. If he goes there they'll have a good season. However............ |

He’s a momentum manager. When things are going well, he is able to maintain confidence and keep the team playing positive, attacking football and can fool you into thinking he’s a smooth genius.
When things do turn against him and his team though, he finds it very difficult to stop the rot. He then comes across as an arrogant fool. Always been streaky. It will be crucial for West Brom that he gets off to a flyer like he did with us. If he starts poorly, they will be in the shit. |
