I think decorating the insides of Carl Fletcher's missus amongst other rumours while Pard's own wife was sufferring from depression rather tainted him before he even turned up at SJP tbh.
Then he lied about not knowing Hughton was for the sack. That sort of thing probs goes on a lot with managers though.
If that's true, then the fucker is one selfish and sick cunt. (Though, I'm sure there's a high probability that's just gossip. )
Always came across as twat, well before he joined us. And he certainly still is.
