The Geordies are baying for blood. Looks like they're capitulating today. It's a major, major worry for us that Pardew could be sacked. No doubt in my mind that Bruce would be on their list of potential replacements, and extremely high up it. If offered, he'd leave behind this freakshow in an instant.
If you think that we are a freak show you need to look at the exhibition of biological rarities currently residing at Sid James Park. I don't know if any reputable manager would go anywhere near the place.
I know it's early doors in the season, but Southampton appear to be adjusting pretty well after losing so many players and, on paper at least, not replacing with the same quality.
If Pardew does go I'd expect Moyes would get the gig. Think his experience with Everton in breaking into those top 6 places would be the key benefit there. They've looked woeful at Southampton today, hopefully Pardew has a stay of execution until after next Saturday.
I think SB would be wary of going to Newcastle, with Ashley still there, he is not the type of owner he will be able to work with. Moyes is probably the most likely one.
