Rumour is that Pards could be taking over at Newcastle. Good manager, rubbish chairman. And we all know how they love cockneys on Tyneside...
If Andy Carroll leaves or gets banged up could it end up with a scenario where West Ham are fighting it out with Newcastle to survive on Salvation Sunday?

Remembrance of things Pards
Poor old Pards. A bizarre decision by Southampton to sack him today following the death of their owner. The new man obviously has someone lined up, but having seen an impressive Southampton win 4-0 at Bristol Rovers on Saturday it seems particularly churlish.
The Saints outplayed the Gasheads and it looked as if Pardew was putting together another decent side. Good keeper in Kelvin Davis, strong centre backs, a skilful midfielder in Jason Puncheon and a decent strike force of Ricky Lambert and ex-Spurs man Lee Bernard, who looks like he might go further up the leagues.
And they have Adam Lallana, who scored just to prove that Southampton's directors are living in Lallana land. Another bonus for a vacationing Iron was the late appearance of David 'Angry Ant' Connolly, who came on to produce a couple of saves.
Let's hope Pards gets another job soon.

Remembrance of things Pards
So Alan Pardew has been sacked by Charlton. They might ridicule him at the Valley, but apart from Harry Redknapp, he remains our most successful manager since John Lyall. Three appearances at Cardiff, promotion and a top half finish wasn't bad for a club that had been relegated and sold half the England team.
Poor old Pards was very poorly treated by the new Icelandic owners and also the Brown regime, which suddenly thrust two third-party owned players on him. He still maintains he could have turned the season around if he hadn't been sacked before the transfer window. What might have been had Pards stayed, Gerrard ballooned the ball over the bar, Reo-Coker stopped sulking, and Harewood recovered his form, we'll never know. Perhaps Hayden Mullins would have gone on to captain the Hammers to Champions League glory…
