Pardew faces Newcastle United axe amid growing fears of stability

 

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew could be the next Premier League boss to lose his job after accepting responsibility for the Magpies’ respectable start to the season.

Pardew’s team remain unbeaten and lie in a Champions League qualification spot sparking fears he will be sacked to make way for a more erratic replacement.

A new manager, with a firmer grasp of the club’s reputation for self-destruction, could be installed in a matter of days.

“It’s like history repeating itself,” said a St James’s Park insider.

“Chris Hughton did a similar job steering us through a phase of unprecedented calmness off the pitch. He had to go in the eyes of owner Mike Ashley, and the same appears to be true of Alan.”

If anything, Pardew is on even shakier ground than his predecessor having combined an ethos of off-the-field professionalism with a quiet efficiency on the pitch at Premier League level.

And it is surely only a matter of time before Newcastle fans turn on the manager amid fears their over-performing stars will be poached by rival clubs.

If positive results continue in the run up to the January transfer window The News Grind understands Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish will sign the entire Newcastle first team for £260m.
