Pardew Departs!

Alan Pardew has become the latest managerial casualty in the Championship after leaving struggling Charlton Athletic last night. The Addicks were hammered 5-2 by Sheffield United at home which left a side in the Premier League two years ago, in the bottom three.

The humbling from the Blades was their heaviest home defeat in four years and extended a miserable run of eight games without victory which includes a 3-1 home thumping by Barnsley.
