While it's already been pointed out how the new signings will boost player morale, hopefully it will boost Pardew's morale as well.
He's looked like a completely broken man for weeks now. Clearly under massive stress and isn't getting a lot of sleep.
After the Reading game you could see he'd just completely gone. "Oh well, this is it then. I guess I'm getting sacked... again."
Hopefully this unexpected windfall will put him back on track mentally and he'll remind of us how he used to be a vaguely competent manager at some point.
