"Alan Pardew is enjoying his time at Charlton. I sat in his office until quarter to three on Saturday and I was also in there after the game and Alan was very relaxed. It was clear to me that he is very happy at the Valley.
He's allowed to get on and do his job - he has no questioning from above - and when you work in those circumstances it makes you feel comfortable. "
I suspect that Pards will be with us for another couple of years and then be looking for his next big move. hestated years ago when he was a young manager at Reading that Charlton was not the height of his ambition and that one day he would like to be managing Real Madrid.... may get some interference there though!
We can't know what goes on behind the scenes, I don't know why but I like the cut of Parkinson's jib. I hope he sticks around with us until he is ready to make the step up.....

give him the right time and money and lay off him a bit we will be ok.
rome wernt built in a day and all that rubbish
Was quite struck last night how young he appears. Clearly a knowledgeable fella, but still lacking that certain 'aura' a manager needs to have IMO.
Thing is i never see him phoning pards during the game and idont think we have borrowed the bolton microphones
maybe he is a good coach
