Alan Pardew is in the frame to get the West Bromwich Albion job it seems.
According to The Telegraph, Alan Pardew is a “serious contender” to become West Bromwich Albion’s next manager.
The Baggies are in the process of finding a replacement for Tony Pulis after sacking him on Monday.
The former Newcastle United boss is odds-on favourite with Sky Bet to be appointed at The Hawthorns, but West Brom fans aren’t having it in the slightest.
There is a genuine link which might worry West Brom fans even more.
Albion’s technical director, Nick Hammond, worked with Pardew when he was at Reading and it seems probable, for now, that a reunion could be in the offing.
The former Newcastle boss, who also had spells with West Ham United and Charlton, has been out of management since last December when he was sacked by Crystal Palace.
He seems to struggle when it comes to lasting longer than 18 months in any job, but that would suit the Baggies for now.
