All the chat now is how the owners are looking to see if Pardew can make "radical changes" on the training ground, and maybe bring in a new defensive coach (although that might actually just be Sam Allardyce).
Like any of this should come as ANY kind of surprise, given Pardew has been through so many cycles of "boom and bust" at every club he's been at, that the headlines themselves could easily be recycled, with Palace switched out for Newcastle, West Ham and Charlton Athletic in a career of "turning around" that has spanned over well over a decade.
"I would say, though, that I have full confidence in my coaching staff. It's been a difficult time but we will turn this around"
Alan Pardew discussing pressure and poor form at West Ham.
"I have no problem with the takeover talk. We have no excuses it had no effect on us.
It's my job to turn that around. We need a win quickly and I need to make sure the side play with belief on Saturday."
Alan Pardew discussing takeover issues and run of defeats at Charlton.
"At a club like Newcastle, you are going to have down times, it is going to be a rocky road. Every manager has experienced that. So I’ve got to try and lean towards the positives for myself, but not hide away from the fact that I’ve got to be better, and that’s what I want to try and do.
I turned it around at West Ham and as a manager it happens more times than you think. I’ve had periods here as well where it’s been very, very difficult. Last year, we went to QPR and we really, really needed to win that game."
Alan Pardew discusses how he can turn it around at Newcastle - where he was required to do that about three times during his tenure - and also lets slip that he is acutely aware of the amount of times that teams Alan Pardew manages seem to require "turning around" by Alan Pardew, who was responsible for the situation in the first place, or at best, incapable of preventing it happening.
Almost as if Alan Pardew has no positive quantifiable effect on any football team he has ever managed. In fact, the opposite.
