Pardew is manager of the month

NEWCASTLE United’s Alan Pardew was named Premier League manager of the month for November yesterday following a remarkable turnaround in the club’s fortunes just weeks after fans were calling for his head.

The northeast club was languishing in the bottom three in October as “Sack Pardew” banners appeared at St James’ Park, but a run of five straight wins starting at home to Leicester City on October 18 saw it surge up the table.

It won three out of four games in November, seeing off Liverpool, West Bromwich Albion and Queens Park Rangers, while its superb turnaround was typified by a gutsy 2-1 win at home to previously unbeaten leader Chelsea last weekend.

“It is nice to be recognized for our results but we will not get carried away by this and will do everything we can to make sure December is just as good a month for us,” Pardew said on the club’s website.
