Truth is Pardrew cannot deliver even the most basic of success working under the system imposed by Ashley. Whenever the team seems to be building momentum and consistency it's most crucial element is sold off, not replaced or replaced with an inferior product. It's must be as soul destroying for him as it is for us as fans who just want to see a little shared ambition . It would be so nice when other clubs come calling for our key players to say no sale and truly mean it, but no, profit is king. Sissoko, Perez and Arrons will all go and until the system changes we stay mid to lower table . It really doesn't matter who replaces Pardew, as they are on a hiding to nothing from the get go. Pards has been Ashley's whipping boy for long enough and l for one wish him well.
