Rumour at the time was that Pardew was pushed from West Ham for an affair with Carl Fletcher's wife. Possibly only a grubby tale but may fit in with ML's moral stance if something similar has been occuring? (All alledgedly of course)
I like to hear both sides of an arguement though. Granted, Alpine does enjoy playing Devil's advocate but it is needed in a forum. A lot of you chaps bite far to readily.
