Alan Pardew has been named as West Brom's new manager. He inherits a side two points above the relegation zone and Press Association Sport has taken a look at what Pardew needs to do at The Hawthorns. Win over the doubters: On the face of it swapping Tony Pulis for Alan Pardew is not a dynamic step forward. Albion are in the same circumstances to January 2015 go when they hired Pulis, sitting one point above the relegation zone. Add some style:Pardew needs to bring some flair to a West Brom team which has been desperately lacking invention.
