Former Newcastle United defender Steve Howey has said that he would be "disappointed" to see Alan Pardew lose his job as manager.

 

The Magpies boss has come under fire from the club's supporters following a poor start to the season, which continued with a 1-0 defeat at Stoke City on Monday evening.

 

Howey believes that the 53-year-old deserves the backing of the fans while he is still in charge.

 

 

"I'm one of these that think it is wrong to be asking for people to lose their jobs. At the moment Alan Pardew is the manager and we have to try and back him as best we can," Howey told talkSPORT.

 

"I can totally understand the fans' frustrations but, at the same time, if there is no news that comes out of Newcastle and Alan Pardew is still the manager, I feel as though, as fans, you should support the team.

 

"The results for a long time haven't been fantastic and it is a results-based business, but I would be disappointed to see him leave because I think, overall, he has done quite well."

 

Pardew was appointed Newcastle boss in 2010.

 

:pokerface:

 

Steve Howey ... place of birth, Sunderland.

 

Add Steve Howey to the list of people who should never again be allowed to write, speak about or work in Football again.  Ludicrously moronic opinion and he obviously hasn't been watching us play for a long time.

I just don't get it, Ashley's been pretty absent from the club for a number of years now maybe showing his face once or twice a year. However Ashley has already been to 2 or 3 games this season and when you add in what he said on Thursday which pretty obviously wasn't a joke, something is up.

 

But to then say Pardew won't get sacked if we lose to Swansea just doesn't add up.

All nonsense comments like, especially the Sunderland one. He throws down the gauntlet right at the start by saying ""I'm one of these that think it is wrong to be asking for people to lose their jobs." therefore he's not going to ever say anyone should be sacked.

Tbf he only said he won't be sacked before the Swansea game or foreseeable future, the good news there is that the club are incredibly short sighted.

Yes, we need an actual list of all these players selling themselves out for no gain at all.

Ii just feel like we're trying to be swayed by all these stories that conveniently come out, with ex Newcastle players backing Pardew.  The timing is all a bit too fixed and it just seems daft to back Pardew.  Howey doesn't back Pardew so much, but he would have been better off saying nothing.  Getting behind the team becomes impossible when they offer nothing to support and surely Howey would see that if he'd been watching, especially last night.  As was pointed out, watching Leicester you see the effort.  With our lot it's like they're running at about 50% effort.  It's just impossible to back that really and all the fans try to back the team, despite getting at Pardew at the same time.

Howey another to completely miss the point.

 

At no point have fans NOT supported the team. The protests are aimed at the manager, not the team.

Agreed, it's the choice to report it that gets me. The tide has massively turned now though and stuff like that is far and away in the minority.

Heres a thought:

 

Support your fellow fan. Support the best interest of your City.

Players and Managers come and go. Every single one of them would desert the club for better pay or bigger clubs.

 

Support the city and your fellow supporters above everyone else.

 

When some get up off their asses to do something about it, its them you should be supporting above everyone else.

 

What is a club anyway...

That's one thing I'm massively thankful for in all this.  It's frustrating to watch us be terrible, but at least we don't have everyone telling us Pardew is doing a bang up job anymore and telling us we're delusional.

This is the guy who appointed Kinnear, would not sack him until he almost dropped dead, said the job was waiting for him if he wanted to come back after relegation, and then brought him back to the club as dof years later.

 

Ashley is a disgusting combination of pig headed and fiercely loyal to his mates.

 

Pardew will never be sacked for results. The only thing that can get him out is some sort of personal falling out with Ashley.

You just know that the reality is that the club are thinking they can ride out Swansea away, hoping that the two week break will settle the media down.  It absolutely won't settle anything.  The rot has set in now and there's no hoping it just goes away.  The atmosphere at the next home game if we lose to Swansea will be very hostile.  I think more and more people will turn as the reality of the table sets in. 

 

They look and it's 4 games with two points, but they say it's early doors.  Later it's 5 games 3 points and they think, okay still time.  Then it becomes 7 game, 8, 9 and it's still 3 points.  Even the biggest idiot of a happy clapper has to realise the "It's early doors we'll be alright" stance is gone and we're shit.
