Im not sure getting rid of Pardew is the way forward, Ashley needs to go first then a new owner can come in and maybe then we can attract a decent manager, I would have Di Matteo. But he wouldn't come under the current regime. Pardew has done well considering the powers above him.

Ashley is going nowhere whilst he has a platform to advertise his sh#t everywhere and based on last nights attempt at protests it's not likely to change anytime soon!

Loyalty cuts two ways - diehard fans are the ones keeping Ashley at NUFC, but there's no loyalty TO the fans from either MA or the players, who, let's face it, are just mercenaries. 52,000 for the Mackems, 42,000 for Spurs - more and more are getting the message!

I read their was just over 48 thousand attended last night (not sure how many spurs fans), and this midweek game was never going to sell out unlike the mackem game so although I think your right that more are getting the message I fear there will never be enough to make any real difference!

PFM: Telegraph reports attendance 42, 264.

Do yous think Pardew is to blame though? I just think a lot of people have gave up on blaming Ashley and are starting to want Pardew out the door as they can't see Ashley leaving. For me though he's done well, problem is anytime we look to be in a position to kick on and push forward he hits a brick wall with players being sold, or lack of transfer activity or some other publicity stunt to upset the fans and once again get ashley some publicity for his beloved sports direct. I have heard rumours he is slashing prices on all the stock and basically asset stripping the club which is a sign that he's making what he can and looking to sell up. Not sure if its true or just an optomistic view from myself :/

Hope that's true mate! Tbh I don't mind pardew obviously we could do better but we could also do a hell of a lot worse so better the devil you know! I do however think pardew could surround himself with better coaches!
