I loved his exit speech "I had a good record when I came to this club but they were on the slide when I took over and I couldn't stop it" I think he said "they" in the past tense whilst he was technically still the boss. Good to see that in the end it's a case of "it was like this when I got here guv, not my fault" so no blame for Pards at all!!
Admittedly we have been on a very slippery slope for a good while but Pardew has had cash, he's been backed up by the board and in the final analysis his squad have not delivered even a minimum of what we could reasonably expect. The players have played their part undoubtedly but Pardew has essentially been woeful.
