Talk about being in a tough spot ! One wonders who the hell sanctioned the deal with Pardew, that sees him get a million quid, if he’s fired before July.
As painful as it may be to pay this slimy second-hand car salesman this money, not doing so could prove to be a lot more costly, because we need action right now. We are going down, that is not an issue. But we need someone who is young and inspirational…someone who really knows modern football to come in, right now, and evaluate what we have between now and the end of the season…to see who we are going to lose, who is worth keeping and, most importantly, who we need.
If management waits until July to get rid of Pardew, it will be too late for a new person to do anything before we find ourselves at the bottom of the championship. And that, with the prospect of further relegation, would cost a lot more than a million quid.
So let the smarmy head-butter go NOW!
