He's been awful. Doesn't want to be here at all. I can't really blame him, nor anyone else who wants to move on. Expecting a player to play for the fans & at least put in a shift until they get a move is unrealistic in modern football, sadly.
They could follow their recruitment policy and hire a foreign manager, who would be more than happy with Pardew's wages. Chances are he'll be an improvement, and it wouldn't hurt to have a manager who is more accomplished at speaking english.
