So there is no truth in the rumours that his job is under threat. Alan Pardew is our manager and he will be for a long time to come.
Charlton boss Alan Pardew -... Pmissed out on signing defender Paul McShane, who opted for a switch to Hull, but he is expected to beat QPR boss Iain Dowie to the loan signing of Portsmouth defender Martin Crainie. Dowie - whose team drew 1-1 with Bristol City - might wait until January to make additions
On reflection of results so far this season, and looking at the future challenges for the remainder of the campaign, it was agreed by both parties that Alan would leave the club with immediate effect.
It's been a very difficult season, very frustrating. Things will break for us, there is no doubt. There's still a long way to go.
I wouldn't say we are in arelegation battle, but we are down at the bottom and we have two very hard games against Sheffield United and QPR to come
Nigel reacted and retaliated. But don't forget this boy has just come back from a 15- month injury and those tackles could have maimed him badly.
I feel sorry for Nicky. He knows his errors cost us. He's big and strong enough to be able to deal with that.
