But Pardews original statement was that the club had offered him an improved contract, I'm sure Pardew described it as "fantastic". Enrique then felt he had to come out on twitter and deny it! Enrique told us that the club were lying. Do you not think this made Enriques mind up about moving to another club? Epecially showing the lack of ambition to match his own. I certainly do.
You may be correct, but all I can find is this .. which is a touch ambiguous ..
âWe have been waiting to see his representatives, they are due here in the early part of next week.
âWe are going to make Jose a very, very good offer and we are hoping he is going to accept it.
âWe are realistic about Jose, because the ball is in his court on that one, not in ours.
âHe will be offered a fantastic contract here, he knows that, but still it is going to be down to his decision. I am still hopeful.â
Alan Pardew.
I can't put my hands on anything advising they actually offered him this fantastic contract or not or whether twitter came first and everything broke down ..

.. that does of course depend on how you interpret the empty space left after the colon .. my assumption was that the DB designer didn't know where I was located and thus 'asked' through the use of this for me to fill in ..
