Pardew has Ashley's backing. Looks like the end of Pardew

It's not the manager, it's the attitude of the players. Also, it raises the question: who decides which player is to be bought or sold by the club? Certainly not Pardew. All his fault is it then?

Pardew is not a bad manager and the grass isn't always greener...They hounded Allardyce out and were relegated 18 months later.

Doesn't matter. This is now the nature of the beast - perception is everything. If results don't go their way then they sack the manager - can't fire the squad. Instant results are all that matters.
Ashley should never have got carried away and given him an 8 year contract - or whatever it was. The fans are to blame as well - everytime a manager gets installed they call for his head.

I don't think he will sack him.
Ashley seems to enjoy wumming Newcastle fans.

Ashley has pardew paying off gambling debts so pays him a fraction of his wage apparently.
I would bet good money he is going nowhere and that backing is an actual backing.

I'm not sure what Newcastle fans want, they are not the club they were 1995-2003.
They have no chance of getting into the top 7 without serious investment...even Saints and Swansea are ahead of them in quality.
Pardew will do enough to keep them in the prem and stable getting rid of him is a big big risk.

It's his job to motivate his players to play for the club isn't it? If not one player is willing to put a shift in then it's not a coincidence

Apparently he owes Lambias the money, it's his casino, he'll work the debt off

Pardew himself debunks the gambling myth. He owes Ashley and the casinos nothing.
