Pardew leaves struggling Charlton
LONDON (AFP) - Charlton manager Alan Pardew left the struggling Championship club by mutual consent after his side's 5-2 thrashing by Sheffield United on Saturday.
Pardew paid the price for a woeful run of eight games without a win that left Charlton languishing in the relegation zone just 18 months after they dropped out of the Premier League.
Speaking after the match but before news of his sacking was confirmed, Pardew had said: "My record coming to this club has been good, but it's been difficult here. When I arrived they were on the slide and I haven't been able to stop that.
"We're in a sticky situation and I have to accept whatever decision is made."
