The Daily Star is floating a story that Pards is in the frame to return to West Ham. No doubt this was thought up by some journo in between writing a few words to accompany one of their 'Bikini Babes'.
Nevertheless, I don't think the Hampsters will find it too easy to find the quality of manager they want. The transfer season dealings, and the fact that the Icelandic economy is going down the tubes big time, shows that there is not much cash to splash at Upton Park. The way in which Curbs was constrained in transfer dealings would worry many potential managers, although continental ones less so.
And then is the unrealistic expectations of Hampsters fans who favour free flowing, attacking football. 'It's just like watching Charlton' they chanted at Curbs. Well, given the number of injuries he had, it's no surprise that he reverted to the organised, defensive style he favoured at Charlton. I see from his interview on Sky last night that he is keen to manage another Premiership club. I can hardly see Newcastle taking him on, but you never know.
I think that West Ham should cash in on the current fad for the Boleyn sisters, emphasising that they are called the Boleyn Ground. There was a Hollywood film I think and there is the current historical bonkfest showing on BBC 2 (although Anne Boleyn seems to have done a bit of time travel as some of her best lines are borrowed straight from Princess Di). A book on Anne's sister is all over the Americam bookshops. Apparently, she was the Duchess of Rochford, so she must have been the first Essex girl.
No match to preview tomorrow, but we will once again be the only Charlton blog reporting on tomorrow's game between Leamington and Marlow - from a New Windmill Ground shaken by this week's boardroom split.
Apparently, one of our boys in blue is now in charge. This reminds me of the time when they turned out in force for a needle derby against Racing Club Warwick. Called back to a fracas in the town centre, one of them replied, 'I'm at Leamington football club - it could kick off at any minute.' At which point the referee blew his whistle.

IS this the same Pardew who was going put the players through a tough 2 weeks training before the next game after the shambles at Preston.Was found on the golf course on Weds for a comment on Curbs resigning
Do not believe all that comes out of the mouth of Pards
Hey anon - be fair - there's some tough holes on that golf course.
I'm surprised he didn't take them to Spain again.
The Hamsters will find someone to manage them - clubs always do - there are load of managers out there looking for jobs. And with a salary of 1 mill, it makes that task a little easier.
