I'm going to be watching from behind the sofa to see how this one turns out. Under less unpredictable ownership I would be more relaxed about the situation. Under Ashley lord knows what is going to happen. For Pardew I think it is a good move. He was never going to win over a large portion of the support. Personally I think he has done a fair job under very difficult circumstances. It's going to require someone with a big pair of knackers to take this job if he does go.
Will Beardsleys Rancid Sack do?
