Wow - quite shocked he owned up to that.
Its not an admission as such, more a career suicide note. Implicit criticism of the owner and his appointment of Kinnear in the summer on live tv. Sounds like he wants out with his compo paid in full. Can't blame him tbh.
Ashley obviously will not be pleased to discover he has just been labelled as a petulant kid (which of course he is) on National TV. I suppose Pardew could have said it due to:
a. Frustration at being undermined by JFK, not being backed in the transfer market.
b. A careless slip.
c. As above as an exit route.
I would be inclined to go for A.
