My Take
Pardew is the kind of football lifer I have a soft spot for. Reaching the FA Cup Final three times, once as a player and twice as a manager, without ever lifting it is its own peculiar kind of distinction, near misses that say more about persistence than luck. I respect that he kept chasing the game across England and all the way to Greece with Aris Thessaloniki rather than fading quietly. There is something admirable about a manager defined less by trophies than by an almost stubborn refusal to stop competing. I value that grit over silverware.
