You were told by a West Ham fan, aye?
I can't see it have any affect on the players tbh. They are surely aware that it's got nothing to do with Pardew, and tbf, Pardew seems a good man. I can't see this giving him problems with our current lot, at all. In contrary to our, the fans', situation, the players will also have the opportunity to talk to him personally, without being under pressure from those above.
