West Brom fans furious following the latest development on Alan Pardew
Despite suffering his sixth straight Premier League defeat on Saturday, it has emerged that Alan Pardew will keep his job at West Brom for another week - news that has not been received well at all by furious Baggies fans.
Saturday's 4-1 hammering at home to Leicester was the final straw for several fans inside the Hawthorns, with it leaving his beleaguered side eight points adrift from safety.
Fans expected him to be gone this week, but Sky's Rob Dorsett admitted that there's 'no imminent plans' to sack Pardew, claiming that the board feel his sacking would be 'costly' and fail to improve their remote chances of staying up (talk about grim!).

Ironically, Pardew took over West Brom when they were just one points above the relegation zone in November. Today they're bottom of the league and a whopping 8 points from safety.
Looks like they're going down without a fight, only infuriating their fans in the mean time.
Maybe we NUFC fans were right about Pardew after all..
