Pardew is literally Palace, couldn't possibly hate him. He is so typically Palace, win where we should lose, lose when we should win.... drag defeat from the jaws of victory and vice versa....

Can you whiners/smug tw@ts just do one! FFS! He's gone! Get over it! Move on, we have had worse managers than Pardew.

Systematically dragged down by the lawmakers

I am sure Pardew loved the club, but I was surprised that he seldom, if ever, wore a Palace tie when giving media interviews

It's perhaps a trivial thing but I thought it was disrespectful to club and fans.

I wasn't impressed with certain of his signings (e.g. Mutch and Adebayor) which reflected a casual attitude to the club's money.

The way he stripped Jedinak of the captaincy grated as did his foolishness in releasing proven goalkeepers such as Gayle and Murray.

His tactics were rigid and predictable, and his sloppy gambler's approach to game-management cost us precious points both last season and this season.

His track record as a manager is not all that great, and I am not surprised that other clubs have so far been wary of giving him an opportunity to return to management.

I wouldn't say Gayle and Murray are exactly proven goalkeepers, but maybe someday

When you’re knocked on your back and your life’s a flop...

I'm sure that Pardew will be back in management in the not too distant future.

I wish he had done better - it was all there for him to achieve - everything in place - management and fans wanting him to do well, investment available - how could he not achieve?
Arrogance is the answer!
He thought he was better than he was; he never learnt from his mistakes and continued to make the same ones time and time again; he belittled the American Investors publicly when clearly then know more about football than he does and he just assumed he would not get the sack.
He had to do - should have gone way sooner than he did - and Mr Allardyce is proving how attention to detail and hard work pays off.
Add to that we have a team again - a group of players playing for each other and who appear to be smiling again.
I was never Sam's biggest fan but he is the man for us whilst Pardew is now the forgotten man - the man who had his biggest chance ever but needlessly blew it!
