think that meant 'youre OK for now, but dont expect to be taking the team through the boxing day game.'
Couldn't happen to a nicer bloke, in the higher divisions I never feel sorry for them as financially they are secure and certainly won't be short of a bob or two.
him and brucey are good mates, he'll have had the low down on the Allams and wont touch us with a barge pole. We need santa to bring us new owners and manager from there, although i suspect palace have already sounded big sam out hence why they've sacked pardew now. i mean it'd be criminal to sack a manager without having a replacement lined up....school boy error.......
He was two years into an eight year contract when he left Sid James Park, but he wasn't sacked; he requested, and was given, permission to speak to Palace as they were obviously a bigger, better club. It was a big step up for him. Don't think he was entitled to any payoff from the CSM who runs Newcastle.
