West Ham to make Pardew statement

West Ham have announced they will make a statement regarding the future of manager Alan Pardew at 1415 on Monday.

The Hammers, who have struggled this season, are in 18th place in the Premiership following Saturday's 4-0 thrashing at Bolton.

With only three points separating West Ham and bottom club Watford, speculation has grown over Pardew's position at Upton Park.

Results have not improved since Eggert Magnusson took over the club recently.

Ridiculous.

[Pacman]

Ridiculous.

Agreed.

Ridiculous

[Rich]

Feel sorry for the Fella.

Combination of bad luck (Ashton) and people going over his head (the Argentine pair) have contributed into his downfall, deserves a better club as he's a good manager. Maybe Charlton should take him?

What a mess West Ham have made of a very promising situation. Pardew deserves a lot better than that.

Feel sorry for the guy. He performed miracles last season and now he gets the boot. I know they are 3rd bottom but they aren't cut adrift down there by any means. Its seems all the takeover talk, being forced to take the 2 Argies who obviously don't want to be there and being let down by some senior players has done for him.
Madness.

Pardew sacked as West Ham manager

Alan Pardew has been sacked as manager of West Ham.

The Hammers are in 18th place in the Premiership following a run of three straight defeats culminating in Saturday's 4-0 thrashing at Bolton.

"Alan has made an important contribution since joining in September 2003 but this season's results have been disappointing," said a statement.

"Chairman Eggert Magnusson and the board feel it is the right time to make a change in the club's best interests."

The statement continued: "The search for a successor is now underway in order that a new manager can be in place ahead of the January transfer window.

"First-team coach Kevin Keen will take temporary charge of team affairs until a new appointment has been made.

"No further statements on this matter will be made by the club before that time."

Former Charlton boss Alan Curbishley has been installed as the early favourite to succeed Pardew.

Following a disappointing start to the season, the Hammers were briefly boosted when a consortium led by Magnusson completed a £85m takeover, with the team winning their next match against Sheffield united.

Magnusson initially vowed to keep faith with Pardew, promising funds for the January transfer window.

However, the club's subsequent slide into the bottom three forced the Icelander's hand and Pardew became the second managerial casualty of the Premiership season, following Iain Dowie at Charlton.

After a shaky start, Pardew became a firm favourite at Upton Park as he steered them to promotion to the Premiership in 2005 and then cemented their position in the top-flight by guiding them to the FA Cup final and a Uefa Cup place.

However, it has been an entirely different scenario this term, with the Hammers finding points hard to come by - despite the high-profile signings of Argentine internationals Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano.
