Former West Brom boss 'in talks' to return to management

He's going Dutch, hopefully.  :o

Den Haag was Martin Jol's first club, and where I lived for 4 years. They've always been midtable or lower half of Dutch league. Their main aim is not to get relegated.
It might be the right level for Pardew. He will have to get used to Dutch media always talking tactics.

And the Dutch media will have to get used to his dad dancing...….

I hope he fails miserably.

Absolute scum bag imo.

Still can't believe we sunk so low to employ him.

Hammond (his best man) , Williams and Goodman were useless.

He's back.  Manager of Den Haag in the Dutch Eredivisie. They are 17th out of 18 in the table so he wil do well to turn that around assuming he doesn't know much about Dutch football. Anyway, he can show off his 'Dads dancing' skills.

Another Albion connection at Den Haag with Martin Jol agreeing to help Pardew as "technical adviser".  Jol lives locally, and this is the club where he started.

My guess is that they took little, if any, notice of how abysmal he performed here.

I know its the season of good will but they'd have been better appointing Alan Partridge rather than Alan Pardew

First press conference at his new club Den Haag.
One slighly worrying line where he says he wants to reflect the fans' agression. They have had alot of hooligan problems there!

Guess where his team have just arrived for their first training camp? A resort in Spain!
I wonder if he's warned the players about late night trips in taxis  :-*

His ADO DenHaag team beaten 4-0 in their second Eredivisie game under him. Beaten away at Utrecht,a top half team, and Pardew now back to 2nd from bottom. His post match comment was " there's plenty of stuff to think about.'

His post match interview was a giggle.

It's Chris Powell I feel sorry for, and the supporters of course.

I don't really have any bad feeling towards any ex players or managers, even Berahino as everyone makes stupid mistakes and choices during their life but Pardew I can't stand. Awful for us but still has a real chip on his shoulder and thinks he is some fantastic manager and person.

Trouble at mill. Surely this will be his last managerial job?

Alan Pardew confronted by ADO Den Haag fans amid poor form
Last Updated: 27/02/20 11:03am

Alan Pardew and his ADO Den Haag players were confronted by a group of
supporters protesting against the club's poor form at training on Wednesday.

Approximately 10 fans of the struggling Dutch club made their way onto
the training pitch, where talks with Pardew are said to have gone smoothly.

Den Haag are winless in their last five matches - a run of form that
sees them lie 17th in the Eredivisie, one place off bottom.

Pardew's only win since making the move to the Netherlands came in his
first game in charge - a 2-0 victory over bottom-placed side RKC Waalwijk.

Den Haag chief executive Mo Hamdi told Sky Sports News: "ADO Den Haag
has one of the most loyal groups of fans in the Netherlands. They are so
passionate and want to support the team.

"The club and supporters are supporting Alan Pardew and the team."

I don't understand how he keeps getting jobs at top flight clubs. He is a very, very ordinary manager who hasn't had a good spell anywhere in ages. There are so many young managers out there and yet clubs keep going for "experience" even if that's bad experience.

It's like a hospital turning their nose up at the 24 year old coming out of medical school in favour of the Doctor with 20 years under his belt, who misdiagnosed 70% of his patients in the last 5 years.

I think it comes down to the plain fact that he interviews well. I spent many years in recruitment for my sins and there was a class of candidate that were very good at interviews and in some instances shockingly poor at the jobs they were engaged to do.

In Pardew's case I think he is a chancer that has run out of road. Taking on Den Haag who are hanging onto their Eredivisie status by the skin of their teeth is not a very glamorous gig. Dutch football retains a certain amount cache and throughout the game in the Netherlands the legacy of total football looms large but Den Haag are about as far removed from that ideal as it is possible to be.

If he's only won one match in Holland what is his managerial record including us and the tail end of his previous job?
