I am just asking the following questions to gauge the thinking and to perhaps provoke debate :

1. Do you think the 'Board' are actually considering alternatives to Pardew with a view to an imminent departure or are they going to give him more time to turn around our fortunes ?

2. Do you think the 'Board' wish to give him a few more games but still thinking about possible replacements if in their view Pardew's position becomes untenable after that period ?

For me there ought to be a third question:

3. Do you think Pardew advised the board at the start of the season that he anticipated a relegation battle in his season of 'transition' and therefore they are more tolerant of him than if he had offered the earth?

Ironically, the thread title says "Pardew out" in Welsh

With the Wickham injury and players off to the AFCON its vital the right person comes in before the transfer window. The right candidate is crucial in who we might be able to attract here. If benteke gets injured, run over , struck by lightening we have got big problems. I wouldn't mind parish waiting if it was because he is securing the right person. Time will tell depending who comes in as manager. What will piss me off is him waiting until after January to get rid of pardew as I believe him being there as manager during the transfer window will hurt us immensely . I haven't been one of the in or out camp . I have been on the fence but IF his time is up for Christ sake get on with it is my feeling
