Whatever anyone says, a manager "head butting" a player is far worse than two players getting aggressive. The manager is the focal point of the club, and has ZERO reason to be involved in a situation like this. Players get caught up in the heat of the battle so they get a little more leeway when it comes to what constitutes aggressive behaviour.

 

Basically, in any other professional job, acting like that would see you sacked, so I don't see why it should be any different for a football manager. Players rightfully get slightly more leeway as there's every chance of getting into a heated battle with someone. There's is no reason for a manager too.

 

While i agree its worse, players should still not get any leeway what so ever. Its still gross misconduct and an absolute joke to pass it off of just " heat of the battle".

 

If players do the same thing they should also be punished severely, especially when like with Shelvey he's not even provoked but goes an headbutts his opponent anyway.... much less not to get any punishment at all.

It's all getting a bit silly really. I voted yes in this poll when it was made because I'd like to see him sacked, but really it's a bit of a nothing incident that deserves a punishment slightly worse than what a player would get, although i'm not sure what that means seeing as the FA took no action against Shelvey. The guy just lost his temper briefly after being pushed, and he didn't chin anyone.

Joey Barton:  Seen Pardew incident. As per usual. Massively over-hyped. Don't let a couple of stupid incidents detract from the job he has done at Newcastle. Especially with what goes on behind the scenes there

 

Massive :giggs:

 

Also, who takes notice of what that twat says ffs.

Maybe they'll dock us points  for failing to control our manager, who is supposed to be in charge of controlling his staff and players.

Well at least someone in the spotlight can see it for what it is, unlike most pundits on TV.

The most interesting bit of that for me is "especially with what goes on behind the scenes there".

He didn't get the contract he wanted here so of course he's not going to like what goes on behind the scenes.

You cannot deny that Pardew has done a decent job at Newcastle, but how can he discipline his players, demand that they act responsibly on the pitch, when he is so irresponsible himself?

 

Would obviously argue with the part before the first comma, but the second half is a very good point.
