Wullie Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I totally accept i'm in the wrong here cause nobody agrees with me, but i honestly don't think the "headbutt" was that bad. Obviously he's in the wrong, he's a prat, but the way folk are going on you'd think Pardew had bent the lad over and bummed him. I think most people just hate him and will use any opportunity to call for his head. Especially me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Was quietly hoping he was going be gone but fuck me, that is some fine! It's alright, he can offset it from what he made out of the Cabaye deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BenArfa10 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 The media know he's not getting sacked by the club now after the warning and fine. They'll be going with the line that he should resign to keep his integrity intact. I'm sure they are going to try and shame him into resigning over the next few weeks. He's going to get a touchline ban from the 'angels' at the FA (not like they never done anything wrong), that's for definite so it might do him a favour with regards to keeping his job because he'll be out of the firing line. If he was still on the touchline and we had a few consecutive losses it'd be hell for him. They'll hate him after this and fans up and down the country are going to give him a lot of abuse. I'm sure deep down he probably thinks he has done nothing wrong despite his repentant child act. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 All wishful thinking of binning him aside, I actually don't think the club have done too badly with this. Dealt with it pretty quickly, and a very notable fine and warning (though as mentioned it would be nice if the money was going to somewhere worthwhile) is about as much damage limitation as could be expected. I certainly didn't anticipate the tone of that statement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 They've definitely thought about the timing of that statement being released. Of course they have. Stops SSN, Sunday Supplement, the tabloids for Monday etc, speculating about him being sacked. Too late for tomorrow's papers but nips it in the bud straight away.

Dogmatix Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 If the ref saw it and gave him a red card is that not the end of it. It is if a player is sent off, and I don't think the rules are any different with managers. Also, as hasbeen mentioned earlier here,. If The Fat Controller really wanted shot of him, this was his chance, instead its a £100,000 fine, and a last warning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 At least that confirms once and for all that all reports of tension between Ashley and Pardew are bullshit. Doing a perfect job as far as Ashley is concerned and it is unlikely he will go until Ashley does (possibly barring us looking like we will be relegated). This was his chance to act. Exactly along the lines of what I was going to post, the biggest club statement made tonight was Ashley's public backing of Pardew, if ever there was a get-out clause to that 8 year contract it was this. The fact he hasn't taken action or even thought about it longer speaks deafening volumes of Ashley's acceptance of Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
