Pardew’s ultimatum

- By DAVE ARMITAGE

ALAN PARDEW will today tell West Brom’s Chinese owners to sack him or back him.

Pardew will not quit even though the Baggies look doomed to relegation after Saturday’s 4-1 defeat by Leicester.

He’s desperate to stay and will tell chief executive Mark Jenkins that he’s doing all he can to dig the club out of a hole.

Despite that, he will give the power-brokers in China the option to pull the plug on his three-and-a-halfmonth reign.

The Baggies are eight points adrift of safety after their seventh loss in a row.
