Pretty incredible stuff. I could understand it for MON or Jol or a n other big name but Pardew?

I see he's meant to be close mates with Ashley, but I cannot see many footballing reasons for this.

Faceyb

Couple "die hard" fans trying to say get behind Pardew

Patrick Leonard He knows that Ashley has admitted we're a selling club, he knows that he's fucked over 3 respected managers in the past, he knows that Ashley doesn't give a fuck about the fans. He knows he has to do exactly what Ashley sais otherwise he wi...ll get sacked (yes man) Any manager who agrees to a regime like that will never get my backing.. Real managers like O'Neill would never take the job in a million years for the above reasons. Obviously he's unemployed and being offered millions, hard to say no to the job. But I'd rather the fans let him know he's not welcome. Always defended Ashley but it really is time to go now.

Patrick Leonard 5 year plan with Pardew at the relm will result in 30,000 every week watching a team who comes 17th every year and sells our bet assets.... Keegan/Hughton wanted to take the club forward, wanted to keep our best players and wanted to keep expanding. Did you know apart from Man U/Chelsea we're set to make the biggest profit this season. Low wage budget, not much money sent, TV money, fans receipts, this is the way Ashley wants to go, its imperrative he leaves otherwise the club will be internally ruined within 5 years

Patrick Leonard Ashley sold all the players under him, generated millions which were needed IF we didnt get promoted. You get a parachute payment so havn't lost out as we back in a year which you need to do. He's given Hughton no money and if they were "Gr...aham Carr's" signings then that once again shows that Ashley is getting people in instead of Hugton, I'm assuming it will be the same with Pardew. Yes man. Hughton brought stability to the club, changed the "worst chnaging room atmosphere" into perhaps the best in the country, turned Andy Carroll into an international striker from a young lad, changed Barton from a thug to on the verge of an international. The players like him, the fans like him, we've beaten big teams, we've beat Sunderland 5-1 I think he's done everything and more possible to take the club forward.

Patrick Leonard Management qualities because he's brought a dressing room together, I think it's unfair he's had criticism from the press and evidently Ashley that he's just a "coach". They have teams on like 20 these days from phycologists, nutritionists to motivators, he provd he was perfect for the job. Don't get me wrong if Pardew does come and the fans get on his back it will 100% have a negative effect. The protests should 100% happen away from the stadium but I doubt they will.

Reportedly, odds went from 16/1 to 1/2 that Hughton wasgetting the sack on Monday morning. Wonder who pilled the money on.

1.3 is high considering the BBC are reporting that he will sign tomorrow.
I have layed him in the hope that the Pardew story is a smokescreen for someone else coming in that the fans may not be particularly pleased with but compared to pardew they will be fairly happy (Curbishley, McLaren etc).  Also, surely if they have been talking for 10 days everything would have been sorted and he would have been appointed yesterday.
A long shot, but fingers crossed

The Guardian

Is this the stupidest managerial sacking in recent memory? Instant reaction to the news that nice, honourable, decent Chris Hughton has been sacked by Newcastle has tended to centre on the they-shot-Bambi angle. There is another side, though. He was also successful Chris Hughton. Champions of the Football League in May, Newcastle have been a sprightly presence in the Premier League. Six weeks ago they outplayed West Ham at Upton Park. Five weeks ago they beat Sunderland 5-1. Four weeks ago they won at Arsenal. Last week they drew with the champions. This week – is this really right? – they sacked their manager.

It is the most self-destructive of axings and Newcastle may pay dearly for underestimating their ex-manager's grasp on his players. Hughton's success lay in uniting a potentially volatile bunch: Andy Carroll, beset by legal process and tabloid sting, might have disappeared off the radar this season. Instead, through careful husbandry, he has flourished. Even Joey Barton has for the most part seemed agreeably focused. This has been a tactfully engineered balancing act. Whoever steps in next ... well, good luck with all of that.

Right up until about 2pm this afternoon Newcastle did not look like a club in any imminent danger of sliding down the table into serious relegation trouble. It is hard to be quite so confident now. There is no doubt Mike Ashley is some way short of a footballing oracle, but surely even Ashley would have grasped the truism that sacking your manager in finely-poised mid-season rarely has a positive effect.

There had been indications elsewhere that the mania for aspirational managerial sackings, the twitchy, grass-is-always-greener, sacking-for-sacking's-sake, might have abated. Hughton is the first Premier League sacking of the season, the longest wait for managerial blood since 1995-96. It seems an ignominious thing, not just because Hughton's Newcastle were an engaging team playing to their potential; not just because he is a nice man curating a difficult group of players with an engagingly light touch; but because it provides a reminder of the enduring block-headedness of a certain species of Premier League chairman.

Presumably Mike Ashley has an alternative lined up. There has already been some talk about Martin O'Neill, the usual Alans (Curbishley, Pardew, Shearer) plus – God help him – Frank Rijkaard. The club has indicated it requires more managerial "experience". And perhaps Ashley, rather than simply wanting to stay in the Premier League long enough to sell the club, really has bought into grandiose misconceptions of sleeping giants, massive football clubs, Geordie nations et al and believes 11th in the table, one spot above Liverpool, is underachievement.

O'Neill, already among the favourites, would be a sound appointment for pretty much any club in the Premier League. But it is still hard to see Newcastle finishing this season above where they are now; and even harder to avoid the feeling that a period of careful retrenchment has just been rather mindlessly truncheoned into tiny pieces. Certainly football looks a little bit stupider – not to mention unerringly self-destructive – as of this afternoon.
