Pardew to hold talks

ALAN Pardew will hold talks with West Brom’s owners today to discuss his position as the club’s manager, it is understood.

Pardew’s job is under threat with Albion bottom of the Premier League, eight points from safety.

The 56-year-old’s future has been under review for after a run of six straight league defeats and an FA Cup exit.

Saturday’s 4-1 home loss to Leicester saw the pressure increase on Pardew, who admitted after the match he would not be surprised if he got the sack.

He said: “Before you even ask me the question, will I speak to those upstairs? Yes I will, of course I will, because it’s getting difficult.”
