Obviously moving players on to keep your squad moving in the right direction makes sense. My issue with the scenario above though, as it's laid out, would be if Pardew is not the one making the calls on whose time is up. A manager can be right or wrong about those things, no one gets them 100%, but right or wrong he needs to be the one making that call. Given what we know about how our board operate there's a good chance he's not.
