We're playing against team with a 35 year old manager who has managed about 20 games in his whole career and I have little doubt we will be comprehensively tactically outmanoeuvred from start to finish.
That thought has occurred to me too, Ashley will want someone ready to come straight in, plus sacking him with only 4 days to go until the next game wouldn't make much sense with a 2 week break to come.
Would actually be typical of Ashley if we beat Swansea and he sacks him anyway.
what did they say?
Keys talked a fair bit about our record - 5 wins in 25 games in 2014 being relegation form and said that Ashley wasn't really interested in the club and had just bought us on a whim but that if we can't shift the owner the manager has to go, the fans deserve better etc..
I can see us being totally outplayed but sneaking it with a Cisse special - if he hits a hot streak again it'll be enough to save Pardew for the forseeable future.
Pardew's current record:
1 win in 13, taking 6 points from 39 with a GD of -20. Over a 38 game season that would give us less than 18 points and a GD of -58.
Came back from 2-0 down man, ran around a canny bit, had some shots and everything.
