Pardew pleads with fans

WEST HAM manager Alan Pardew has urged fans not to fear the onset of change at the club.

There is a potential takeover bid in the pipeline and the Hammers have already broken the mould by signing Argentina internationals Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez in unusual circumstances.

Pardew vowed last weekend he would do all he can to protect the “integrity and history” of the club.
