Pardew's wages are linked with our wage bill and our debt. It's also possible that his wages are linked to league position, qualifying for Europe, cup wins, etc. Couldn't say. We know that they are linked to the wage bill and the debt though. So, if he thinks he can get by with what we have then that's what will happen. Logical enough. It's his job and he has a set of objectives that can affect what he earns, naturally enough, they will influence his decisions. As they would yours and mine.
Have i missed something? I mean I've seen people mention it before, but never thought anything of it other than speculative bollocks.
How would anyone 'know' this? (aside from Pardew etc obviously)
