    sensible.

    done his job, ready to move on up the ladder with CV looking good.

    Football management to me at the top level is probably one of the most pressurised jobs i could ever imagine. I don't know how any of them manage to sleep, and you never get to shut off, even on holiday in pre-season your mobile will be going constant.

    I'm staggered when you don't see managers have a break every couple of years.

    Jewell was talking to Alan Brazil on Talksport at about 9.30am this morning saying how great it was working at Wigan & he had the best Chairman/ Manager relationship in Country.........

    I thought Murray might have offered the job to Parkinson first if Pardew was going to Wigan but if it's Newell then so be it :- )

    One of many moves in the managerial merry-go-round that's going to happen this season...

    Newcastle, Bolton, Wigan... who next?

    I don't think that it's beyond the realms of possibility that Pards may go there. I've had a niggling doubt as to whether he was in it for the long term with us and the fact he was on a big bonus to keep us up may have tempted him to give it a go. Managing in the Prem would be a big draw even if it was with Wigan. I've also always wondered why Parky was happy to be a number 2 again when he'd been a Manager and was offered the posts at Northampton and Huddersfield. Was he promised the top job with us if Pards went. Good reason to stay if so, if not wouldn't you want to be numero uno elsewhere. Just a thought.

    I think when Parky signed his new contract a couple of months ago (was it really that long ago?) that he was probably promised first refusal on Pards' job if/when he moved-on.

    I have to say that I agree with your thoughts Large.Pards is a very ambitious manager, and I'm not sure ours can match his to be honest.I think part of him is still at Upton Park.Would love him to stay but am also prepared for the worst.

    If pards moves on his reputation will suffer, mind you if he doesn't it might too...

    :D

    He's staying though..

    He has to stay. We desperately need some form of stability. He's said a lot in the last few months and its essential they don't prove to be hollow words.

    See how much fun it is being in the Championship - we're fretting over our manager leaving us for Wigan.

    that's why the new signing fell through. You heard it here first.

    Delighted you're such an optimist, Large. Looking forward to experiencing your own managerial style next week...

    pards words so we can forget about him leaving.

    "I hope everyone has a good break over the summer, and I'll see you next season."

    Jeez, what a load of alarmist nonsense is being spouted on here about Pardew.

    Admittedly, if a bigger Prem club came in for him (which is unlikely unless he takes us up and keeps us up) then he might get a bit itchy but there's no point him going from Charlton to Wigan, its the most sideways of sideways moves.

    Agree totally. Come on guys lets get real here. He ain't going to Wigan.
