West Bromwich Albion are not ruling out the possibility of manager Alan Pardew being sacked in the coming days or weeks.
It is remarkable that West Brom are in this position again, after Pardew's midseason appointment. But things have not gone well under the Englishman's tenure.
Most fans were expecting that Pardew could lead a decent West Brom squad out of the bottom three. However, they are still in serious danger of being relegated.
And the fact that the club's recent trip to Barcelona for training turned into a farce does not help his cause.
It appears that a couple of bad results in the next games will see him moved on.
