the writing was on the wall the moment he went to the press without club consent tbh, don't think the club hierarchy was ever going to let that one slide.
he was a proven with 5 full seasons and over 150 league appearances, Shaw is very promising but still only 18, one bad injury and he may never live up to his potential

Pardew confirmed this was most likely Shola Ameobi's final appearance for #nufc. Said he was one of best professionals he'd ever worked with
Apparently Lawrenson said on BEin that he expects it to happen.
fits in with Reals nature, nick the best player from the "best league in the worldtm" to show how big a club they are.
Disagree. Banners much more impactful in terms of written press.
on a day like this I don't think either matters in the slightest, we're only there to make up the numbers and all focus of the press will be on Liverpool

Rodgers uses the second paragraph of his programme notes to support Pardew: "I have no doubt he will improve #nufc further next season"

Calls him "one of the best in the business". It has been a "solid campaign for them". #nufc
