I don't think people actually want him dead, they are just over the top comments as people are frustrated. It's true that Pardew is working under bad conditions, and that Ashley is a dick, but Pardew himself has came out and praised Ashley on numerous occasions and said the fans should do the same. Also Is it Ashley's fault the way the team have played over the last couple of seasons, and the way we have been set up to play negative awful football, resulting in two consecutive 3-0 losses at home to our local rivals, is it Ashley's fault that Pardew head-butted a player, and called a fellow manager an "old cunt". Is it Ashley's fault that Pardew continues to talk shit to the press. That hatred to him is completely justified, and I hope people give him stick right from pre season.
