Some back Pardew as the right man for the job, some don't. Whatever your view, what would he have to do to change your mind?

For example, I want him gone (now) but if we got 41 or more points this season I'd say I made a bad call.

Whether your an 'in' or an 'out' (and please state it for future reference): when would you say 'fair dues, I was wrong. I've now changed my mind'

If it became blatantly obvious / likely we'd hit 41, I'd also fess up before then.

(I don't think we will.)

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

Finally decided I wanted him out after the Swansea game but never saw the Southampton result coming. Feeling a little assured now, but Soton were really poor and if we lose to Hull I think Parish should start drawing up that managerial shortlist ASAP.

If we finish pretty comfortably clear of relegation (45+ points or so) I'll be happy. Our squad doesn't have the depth for us to be demanding a top-half finish.

Hitting 41 points doesn't mean he is the right man for the job. The Premier League is quite weak this season with quite a few struggling sides.
I would happily admit i was wrong about Pardew if he sets us up correctly, makes good substitutions, has some kind of method to what we are doing. I can accept losing but when we look clueless and nothing changes week after week and from what i have seen and heard about him i just have no confidence in him and he will be sacked at some point.

I first had serious doubts after the first half of the Wafford game when (I think) he played Mutch, Jedinak & Wickham together in some kind of midfield set up.

After four years in the prem and with the wage bill we now have we shouldn't be looking at a relegation battle.

Home games over the last year have been dire. Players who aren't good enough have been asked to pass the ball around with no purpose in our own third and have invited pressure and defensive mistakes. Then we chase the game with the main focus being Wilf. Defensive organisation has evaporated whilst the manager glibly says that clean sheets aren't a priority and then suddenly says they are prior to conceding five goals against the bottom side.

It also sounded from his interview on Radio 5 as though it took (at best) a row or (at worst) player intervention to achieve our first clean sheet in fifteen games.

I'll confess to being wrong if he turns it around and we avoid relegation comfortably with say five or six games to go. If we manage this then final position becomes irrelevant in my view.

Another debacle like the Swansea game would see me move into the "out" camp. To be honest we have to beat Hull, don't we?
