New West Brom manager Alan Pardew has insisted he feels that he was unfairly dismissed by Crystal Palace last December.

He was sacked last year after Palace were struggling to produce good results in the League and was replaced by Sam Allardyce.

This despite the fact that he had led Palace to a top half finish as well as the FA Cup final the season before.

However Palace did win just six League matches under Pardew in 2016.

He said: “I was disappointed to lose my job at Palace. I did feel a little bit harshly done by on that decision.

“I think although we were on a difficult run, we had finished tenth, we had got to a cup final. I felt I deserved more time but I didn't get it."
