Why would he subject himself to this madness.
He wants rebuild his reputation, we have potential to outsiders, he'll be popular instantaneously because he's not called Alan Pardew.
If you're a non-top 4 manager we're a massive draw, one flukey cup run and you'll be getting a statue and lorded for life.
He was on £6m per year (IIRC) at Everton though so...yeah.
He ended up getting the big payoff from ManU, right?
If so, I guess I could see him taking a pay cut for the opportunity to achieve what you've mentioned.
Just got 1 year payoff for finishing outside the top 4 apparently
