How Classless is Pardew?

He's a complete twát, he should have been punished after the incident with Pel.

He's proven so many times that he's an absolute ar5ehole, and if Ashley doesn't get rid of him that makes him just the same for condoning such actions

Just seen it, what a classless plick, he should get a lengthy ban.

It was definitely bad but that's just hearsay as I havn't seen it. What is a bit daft is saying that this may well effect grass roots football and its an terrible example.
I don't buy into that, I think punters and the press alike are just chucking out sound bites here because if they had any knowledge of grass roots football they would realise that this have been going on for donkeys years down at the bottom end of Sunday league football. Managers assaulting refs, players thumping managers etc etc. Perhaps if the got off their rich and pampered ar3es and gave something back to the game at the lower levels rather than swanning around in horspitality lounges they might just realise that.

completely agree with you lee.

Two things need to happen to Pardew, and quickly:
(1) The FA must suspend this guy for a minimum of 8 games, preferably for the rest of the season. If they are not decisive, they are going to lose control of potentially future volatile situations.

(2) Newcastle FC is a club rich in tradition and great players. They should immediately dump this guy.

Pardew's little "humble-pie" apology is not enough!

I would've thought this assault would have broken his contract and Ashley would be able to get rid without compensating the ridiculous 10 year contract?
I would be very disappointed if he wasn't sacked today if I was a Newcastle fan

He's been fined £100K by the club. Overall, I don't think the club want to let him go. Money talks. Dirty cash.

He's a cockney waanker. Send him back down where he belongs.
