Newcastle:How much longer can Pardew last?

How is that dick still in a job? For my part, I hope his person is utterly inviolate as far as Ashley is concerned and he never sacks him. He is doing a fine job of steering them towards relegation so all to the good. Take a relegation place, one fewer that could be us - however unlikely some may consider it that we will go down this term.

Anyway, that aside, all things being equal, the wanker that is Pardew should be gone already. Has he got pics of Ashley, dressed as Marylin Monroe and gobbling a German Shepherd or what?

I think he may be gone later today.

The problem at Newcastle is Pardew sows and Ashley reaps.

How many great players have Newcastle sold over the last 5 or so years?

Johan Cabaye. Demba Ba. Andy Carroll.

Players like Carroll, Cabaye and Ba are the team's best players. The lynchpins. The player the team is built around.

It's like us selling and trying to replace Benteke every season. Or better comparison, Tottenham after Bale or Liverpool after Suarez.

Pardew has had that three times after having to sell Carroll, Ba and Cabaye.

Ashley's also sold Fraser Forster, Kevin Nolan, Hatem Ben Arfa. Jose Enrique which hasn't helped either.

Pardew's always in rebuilding mode and it's a very difficult job. Ashley does not want to kill the golden goose.
