And Pardew’s chief problem appears to be he has none. From his West Ham days, comes an extraordinary anecdote courtesy of club photographer Steve Bacon, one of several staff to dine with Pardew in a hotel before a game at Sunderland.
“When the gaffer sat down with his backroom team, deciding on his order, he asked fitness coach Tony Strudwick what he was getting – and told him he’d take it if it looked good.
“When the meals arrived, Pards said to Tony, ‘Yours looks better, I’m having that,’ and swapped plates.
“I told him you can’t just take someone else’s dinner. Pards retorted, ‘When you’re the king, you can do anything’.”
