Time to take break, Pards

I THOUGHT Alan Pardew was a decent fit for West Brom when they appointed him as Tony Pulis’s successor, but it didn’t work out at The Hawthorns. Now my old Crystal Palace teammate needs to go away and have the summer off to recharge his batteries and maybe even take the whole of next season too. I’d love to see Pardew (left) spend a bit of time traveling around Europe and watching teams train in Spain, Italy, France, and Germany to reacquaint himself with why he wanted to be a coach in the first place.
