Tell me about it. So many things about Ashley's Newcastle are incredible un-football. For a start there's the fact that we make a pretty large profit every year, and the club pretty much acknowledging that the goal is to finish 10th every season and bow-out of the cup competitions early (yes, really). Then there's this. Ashley is so cheap. All you have to do to punt the guy is pay him a million smackers, but he's trying to hold-out for Pardew's resignation. Why would Pardew resign?! He's already shown that he's willing to put-up with the abuse, and he lacks the humility to admit he's not cut-out for this job. He has messed-up colossally at Newcastle and will never get another club job this big, and oh yeah, he'd be throwing his compensation away. Stupid, stupid Newcastle. Hopefully this is resolved soon, and we can get a more capable individual through the door. Moyes would be incredible, but it'll probably be John Carver.
