Pardew aims for silverware as new boss

NEW West Brom boss Alan Pardew is targeting silverware and vowed to take the Baggies to the next level after being unveiled in the post yesterday.

The 56-year-old signed a deal until 2020 after he replaced the sacked Tony Pulis with Albion two points above the Premier League relegation zone.

It ends 11 months out of management since he was axed by Crystal Palace, the team he faces in his first game in charge on Saturday.

He said: “My best teams play on the front foot and try and put teams under pressure. Sometimes they get a bloody nose doing that and that’s what I’ll deliver here at West Brom.”
