As soon as the Press and MOTD etc get their teeth into to the 5 wins in a year bit, he will be butchered by them.

It's just that you all seem to have forgotten. And with a much beeter squad (his) he has guided us to 16th place,one point above relegation places, playing the sort of gung ho football that gets teams relegated.

Football is like fresh fruit - results 2016 is just not acceptable with the team we have. Adding Pardew's comment: "I'll never change my way of playing - going forward is the only option" or words to that effect. Sorry that it is ending this way, but it should be (very soon) - bye-bye Irene!!!

I don't care about 'moving forwards', I think we're roughly about as far as we can go if we talking about reasonably safe from relegation each season. Some one has to make up the numbers, and we'll probably never be able to rise above that level in our present form. My concern is that we appear to be going backwards. Relegation, with our wage bill is a concern - Looking at other also runs of the premiership who have been relgated in recent years. You buy a 30m striker just to stay up,

I suppose this depends on what one deems "Next level". There are certain teams that one never considers for relegation in pre-season, for example Stoke. Maybe if we reach this status on a regular basis this could be deemed "next level".

It would appear that increasingly many supporters are forming the opinion that Pardew is not the man to elevate us to such a level but at the end of the day the 'Board' will decide his fate. I believe he will be given every chance to turn things around but as ever there comes a 'Tipping Point'. Edited by Willo (10 Nov 2016 3.08pm)

Edited by nickgusset (10 Nov 2016 3.17pm) In Spain, once the manager gets the "White Handkerchief" treatment it normally isn't long before the manager departs. I believe that Bobby Robson suffered such a fate at Barcelona. Perhaps the HF might choose to go down this route if they want Pardew out !!!!
