Going to be interesting but i think West Ham were right to off Pardew who had his team playing dire football at the end – 4-0 to Bolton was brutal. Curbs is a good manager and is off toa good start, West Ham need a top striker to put the ball in the goal as they have too many near misses. Charlton I think are doomed, I like Pardew and think he is a good fit but feelwith the time he has left and the lack of funds that he wont be able to save them. They are a long way off safety right now and badly need to beat Fulham today.

I think Chalrton got the better end of its “manager swap” with West Ham. I personally think Pardew is a much better manager than Curbishley and think he got a really raw deal from the new owner of the Hammers. He is more responsible than anybody for making Reading FC, a traditional lower league club what it is today (even though Coppell is there for the glory) and until Tevez and Mascarano (sp?) were forced on him, he had West Ham playing its best Football in years. Pardew could save the Addicks from the drop.
