Alan Pardew; Newcastle United
Alan Pardew’s revamping hasn’t really paid off at Newcastle, making them a team that looks a mere shadow of their former selves.
Ever since Demba Ba left for Chelsea, things have taken a turn for the worse. They finished 16th last year, five points off the relegation zone. Most Newcastle fans will see this as too close for comfort. Have they been found out after Pardew’s first season in charge went so well?
They may struggle again this year, and their manager will struggle to keep his job if they do. The re-addition of Joe Kinnear to the staff has already undermined Pardew’s authority, are the board pushing him out?
Pardew will have to drastically improve his team’s chances if he hopes to keep his job.
