Nobody

Fucking five and a half years? Why on earth would he be given a contract with that length?

Tried to go out and get steaming drunk tonight, but not even that helped. Fuck off Pardew, you're not fucking welcome here!

I've heard it's definitely Klinsman I'm just saying this in the desperate hope to lengthen the odds on Pardew so at least I can make a bit of money on this shambles

betfair can fuck off, they would charge me 1.5% on any deposit I make. Had they not, I'd put another grand at Pardew at those odds.

I don't want Pardew so fucking bad that I'm almost clutching at this straw

From a 3 at the start of the season, down to a 2 before last weekend, now up to a nine. I think team spirit will be shattered, Enrique along with at least one other first teamer will be gone in January and replaced by shite. Fans won't be behind Pardew/Ashley and Derek, creating a very hostile environment SJP, similar to two years ago. Pardew is a wank manager who won't know how to deal with the pressure. If we somehow stay up, it will be thanks to the points Chris got us and if somehow Carroll continues his phenomenal form. As soon as bet365 pays me for my bet on Pardew to become manager, I'm lumping all of it on us to get relegated.

Well done Mike and Dekka for pissing off another fan favourite who quite possibly could have stayed here for his entire career. Hopefully he'll be sold to a team we've already played twice this season by the time he's sold, so we won't have to face the humiliation of him destroying our right flank.

I really don't know. For the first time in a long, long time I couldn't be arsed watching Champions League last night, and I couldn't be arsed watching the Villa - Liverpool game on Monday. That love for football has somewhat gone, I just ask myself what the point is in following this club when Ashley can just fuck us over like this.

When we are relegated in May, that'll be a hell of a lot worse than it was two years ago. We will without a doubt lose the likes of Jonas, Jose, Colo, Taylor, Tiote, Ben Arfa and probably Carroll. There will be no coming back this time.

guaranteed Seeing as Hughton was probably already on the lowest in the PL, and Pardew is definitely going to get even less. Since he won't keep us up, he won't see much of those bonuses either.

As if it's not enough that they've sacked Hughton and plan to bring this wanker in, they don't even seem to have the balls to announce it, the fucking cowards. Wouldn't surprise me if he's standing on the touchline on Saturday without an announcement having been made.

Can't put it into words how much I fucking hate Ashley the fat cunt. No doubt will we plummet from here. Relegation scrap? Fuck that, we'll be scrapping with West Ham who manages to finish last.

Pardew out.

Oh, give over I don't particularly care for his appointment and sacking Hughton was never on my radar during the cold, miserable walk out of The Hawthorns but this OTT-vitriol comes across as yet another example of deluded/clueless/ignorant/demanding/insert generic media stereotype Newcastle fans thinking "they deserve better". I do think we deserve better than Alan fucking Pardew. If that makes me clueless/ignorant/demanding then so be it.

To be honest it's fairly likely I'll have one irrespective of who we appoint. Or even if we don't appoint anyone. Friday's a long time to go without a wank.

The thought about Pardew becoming our manager makes me feel physically sick. It's not as if it's bad enough that we got rid of a very likeable man and a decent up and coming manager, but then we might end up with this wanker. Eugh.

I hate Twitter

Aye Pretty shit timing, giving us a little tiny bit of false hope. They could have at least done it before Hughton They should have waited until Pardew has been announced.

Anyone know if Barton or Nolan might be back for this? Really don't want to see Tiote and Smith in CM, that would be awful. Even if he's nowhere near ready to play at this level, I'd rather have Vuckic than Smith playing. At least he might learn something and become a better player in the future.

He's a fucking cunt. Hope that when Ashley finally has his heart attack, Llambias is standing next to him and he falls over Llambias and crushes him in the fall.

One of my first thoughts was "fuck you, Nigel De Jong, fuck you." Was going to say that had Ben Arfa played in all our games so far, Hughton wouldn't have been sacked, but then I realised that the sacking so daft that he might have been any way.

Ashley is already our owner man. Tobias Funke

Pretty cruel by Jol and Ajax to let him resign today if he's not lined up to be our next manager
