I dunno, I think he's gone at the end of the season. I never thought we'd get rid before then anyway. The thing is, Ashley won't want another relegation, it hits him where it hurts, his pocket. Pardew will either relegate us or barely keep us up, which I think is too much of a gamble to Ashley, especially when we spent big in January and Pardew has done absolutely nothing with those players. Pardew has now demonstrated that he cannot be trusted even when investment is put in to the squad, so where does the club go from here? Why give him another summer of spending when he can't do anything with the team he has, one that has been largely built during his time here. There is also the risk of results being terrible at the start of next season and Ashley having to sack Pardew early on, possibly leading to another managerial roller-coaster which ended in us going down last time. The writing is on the wall and it is clear to see that Pardew has completely lost his grip on the squad and club, he literally can't manage this team anymore and will most definitely take us down next season if we survive and he stays. Why risk giving him millions to spend in the summer and then go on to risk valuable games at the start of the season? Get rid immediately after the Arsenal game, get a new manager in and give him the summer to reshape the squad and get the players used to his tactics etc in pre-season. If Ashley can't see this then we are just fucked and there is absolutely nothing we as fans can do about it.

Fucking thread title!

I think he's just getting until the end of the season.

The thought of losing heavily to Arsenal at home on the last day of the season to send us into the Championship turns my stomach.

Relying on away games to stay in the Premier League, in a season where we've won once away from home in 17 attempts.

Unless Pardew is sacked there's only one way it's going to go. Agreed. Agreed. Agreed.

We're fucking shit and yet every game recently has been 50,000+. We were probably getting those before we went down last time as well tbf. Getting relegated again and losing a load of our good players because of one man's incompetence will be the final straw for a lot of people, especially if Pardew is still here. I honestly think Pardew could relegate us twice man, it's fucking terrifying to think about how close we are to that happening.

Didn't Pardew say his position will be decided at a post season performance review, or something along those lines? If he has a performance review I really fail to see how he can still have a job at the end of it.

If we go down and Pardew is still our manager I can see quite a few turning their backs on the club until he is gone.

Wigan: 4th May West Brom (a) - 0 points 7th May Swansea (h) - 1 point 11th May FA CUP FINAL vs Man City 14th May Arsenal (a) - 0 points 19th May Aston Villa (h) - 3 points I reckon.

Wigan have their last 5 games in the space of 15 days I think? They will struggle with that, especially with one eye on the final.

West Ham are a million miles from us atm, plus Fat Sam will be pulling out all the stops to humiliate us further. The writing is on the wall as far as I'm concerned. 2-0 defeat.

Yep.

.Yup for me. At least JFK had the courtesy to nearly off himself.

Has there been any chanting towards Pardew?

Hatrick for Rodgers.

Worst defensive record in the league now.

This is going to be 7.

Tiote trying to fucking shoot instead of passing.

Brilliant subs, now come on!

Will 40 be enough tho? It would mean Wigan would have to overhaul an 8 point gap, as well as goal difference, so I think so.

This is worse than under Souness for me, simply because we might actually go down.

This side has absolutely no chance against Arsenal and West Ham. It's all about QPR.

I think they will if we go 3-0 down.
