Pards is favourite for the England Job. But would we care that much? Yes we have made a good start to the season, but we should be doing well after all. We have enough quality to be top half without question. There were enough rumours of player unrest last season and Pardew's arrogance when things are going well, that it would lead many of us to believe that the same thing could happen again. Personally, i would not shed that many tears. In our current position in the league and with the quality we have got i believe there would be plenty of good managers to choose from. You never know a new manager might decide that buying a left back in January would be a good idea!!!! Also, he might decide that Sullay KaiKai is worth a go in the first team!!! Either way, i feel total apathy about the whole thing. Does anyone else feel the same?

Yep- don't care. There are upsides either way and whilst he's done a good job for us, I can't stand him as a person so wouldn't be upset if we got someone else in. But if he stayed, that's fine too- he's an average prem manager

No.

It seems that you're blaming Pardew for not buying cover for Souare's injury. But that happened outside the transfer window, so nothing could be done.

Also our current position in the league is directly due to Pardew. These things do not happen by accident. Also the 'quality we have' is due to him too (& Parish).

So, you seem to be delivering the most backhanded of compliments while still not being bothered if he goes? A very confused post.

Vive le Roy!

Please provide a list of available and above average prem managers who can jump in right now to replace AP"

Seriously, words fail me. We are finally assembling a top half squad and securing the continuity we need to be a long term feature in this division. And people are indifferent about leaping into a caretaker period followed by more transition.

How about this for a Sammy Allardyce chant:

Three mill - and you F*cked it up

I'd rather he stayed. I am, however, comforted by the fact that he's probably a little bit non-compliant with the FA's requirements for an England manager, ie. a yes-man with no mind of his own. He's also been in the papers for all the wrong reasons of late.

The job is Bruce's, or Howe's at a pinch.
