Alan Pardew is a Saint

Southampton have named Charlton failure Alan Pardew as their new manager, signing a three year deal.

Pardew, 47, told reporters "I'm proud and very excited to be joining a club with an immense history and huge potential."

Pardew has been out of football since the failure at Charlton Athletic in Nov. 2008. And now as i remember him taking over Charlton (what a mistake that was), he starts the new season with minus 10 points for Southampton almost going belly up, and they start a division lower than what they were in this time last year.

I'm predicting that Southampton will be saying hello to Division 2 next year. I'm sorry but i have never felt that Alan Pardew was a good manager.
I'd rather have seen a newbie in the hot seat.
