I heard from a friend earlier today that Ashley wanted to appoint Pardew a while back, had promised the job, and was looking for the slightest excuse to get shot of Hughton.I've managed to get 7/2, which I reckon is well worth a flutter.
'I've been a lifelong newcastle fan since 1992 and this is the worst day of my life. We were heading for champions league or Europa at least.Bring back shearer'
I hope it's not MON. I would be a bit jealous if it was. I miss being in the top 6 and getting to Wembley. We are currently 2 points off the drop zone under GH (yeah yeah injuries blah blah). I think MON, although he has his faults, did well at Villa. A fact that many seem to have forgotten due to his terribly timed departure. He would do well up there and no doubt he would get some money to play with. People are suggesting that MON may take them down. Really? Hmmm. Has he ever been relegated before? I hope it's Pardew, then they WOULD be in trouble.
