http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/yohan-cabaye-tim-krul-could-6466057?. I'm probably jumping to conclusions here but as soon as I saw this I just thought he's not injured they are just prepping him for a potential move. There is no specific injury given, at least not in this article so it does raise questions. Can't remember if he went off injured against WBA

Such a tiresome debate. I have no doubt part of Pardew's renumeration is based on profit on player sales amongst other things (as Golfmag has said from day one), so it's no surprise he keeps coming out with comments like these, which although factually correct (as we all know) are completely unnecessary and counter productive to what should be his primary aim: assembling a squad of players as good as it possibly can be and having them perform as well as they possibly can.

Many managers get a percentage of any player sales if there is a certain amount of profit involved. I remember listening to a phone-in on Radio Newcastle the week before KK resigned in 1997 and a caller asked John Anderson and the programme host whether it was true that KK got a percentage of the fee for one of our promising players who had been recently sold ; the 2 programme hosts were VERY reluctant to affirm this and tried to get around the question by saying that it was KK's private business...the caller stated, correctly in my view, that if the sale of players was forming part of a manager's income, then he, as a supporter who was paying towards the club's income, had every right to know whether this was a fact or not.

He further stated that he had it in good authority that Brian Clough had a similar agreement written into his contracts at his various clubs. I don't for a minute think that KK would have sold a player unless he thought the player was not going to break into the team, but then he was getting well paid by NUFC at the time ; we don't know if Pardew is being well paid by PL standards but we suspect not, so there may be a temptation to sell players if the sale would add to his income significantly.

 

I guess we'll never really know, so you have to make your own judgement on it all.

 

Let's say he really gets "a lot" (considering his actuall monthly salary, which is as you said probably quite low) even then - would you sell your best player? I wouldn't.

 

Better live without whatever money he actually gets from transfer profits and still be manager of NUFC than getting that added money and might get sacked during summer (we don't know how close he actually really was to getting sacked in summer 2013)

Probably nothing serious then, just a one-gamer. I've been thinking that our season was going to hit the buffers since Coloccini's injury so am very wary of any injury to key players. We really do need to keep the core of the team fit.

He stayed down for a while at the time but I never know if he is just doing it for effect because he didn't get the free kick!
