Alan Pardew

[Churchill123]

I think we can all agree Newcastle and Pardew had a stormer of a season last year and did far better than most would have expected, and so the board at the bar codes offered Pardew a contract for something like 5 years (maybe even longer can't remember exactly but was the longest contract to date I believe) can't help but think after seeing them this year that the board must now be wondering why the hell they did it!

Are Newcastle in a false position or are they really that bad!?..

It was 8!
Eight

Most ridiculous contract ever

Was it 8!! Bloody hell makes it seem even more mad now! Think fat mike Ashley is wondering why he gave him such a long deal now? Surely if he gets sacked early he'll get a lovely pay off!

Only 1 yr apparently .

Look at their injury list, they have a reasonable excuse for not doing so well.

I hate to say but only 1 manager deserves an 8yr contract and after him I would of said Gradi

i like newcastle a club and fans much like ours before we won the pools, ap is a good manager and although an 8 year deal is a bit steep it gives them stability at the helm, if they can keep ba and sort there back four out they can become a top 6 team

Newcastle have injuries to most of their Midfield and with the added fixtures of the Europa League it is certainly taking its toll on their season. As for Pardew, it was a bit foolish giving him a 8 year contract.
