Alan Pardew

[Dailly___7]

Would have him over our current manager, but really can't see what many people seem to see in him.

Having said that, I've seen the "head-butt" and it's been blown out of proportion by the telly pundits. Surprise, surprise

[whusc]

I hope the FA throw the book at him and Newcastle sack him

just said that on newcastle forum...
sack him save us on compensation we would have to pay to get him then
ive said all along id have the fella back here tomorrow.

Then we can make him our new manager

Wasn't really a headbutt. More of a headnudge.

[Whiskyman]

I don't like Pardew, never have, but there seems to be something of a witch hunt taking shape here.

I don't really see why what he did is any worse than a player doing the same thing. Of course he should be punished for his offence, just as a player would, but why should he be banished for a longer period (3 games) than a player? Let'ds face it there was barely, if any, contact so it's hardly a hanging offence anyway.

[BlackDiamond]

He is being punished for a gesture, which has been interpreted to have aggresive intent. He has shown previous error of judgment, sufficient to allow a harsher penalty to be applied.

In consideration of the media frenzy and the widespread condemnation of his peers and fellow ex-professionals, he might consider himself fortunate to still have the backing of his employer.

that is not done and dusted yet!
