6 Reasons Why Pardew Will Never Quit Newcastle United

He might be sacked but he'll never walk.

Despite being the short favourite to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked and the seemingly insurmountable odds stacked against him, Alan Pardew is still Newcastle United manager. He has so far shunned calls for him to resign and survived calls for him to be sacked, and he will continue as manager even beyond a defeat against Swansea on Saturday - presumably even if the team are laughably turned over, as they were once again at Southampton. It's hard to know what is really going on at Newcastle at the minute behind the scenes: fans continue to pull their hair out over the manager and the owner, but nothing changes and Newcastle face a long, difficult season unless something drastic happens soon. With Mike Ashley seemingly making Pardew untouchable, it's unlikely that the axe will fall on the former Southampton boss, and unfortunately for the Toon Army, any suggestion that he might quit is way off the mark. He won't walk away, and here's exactly why.
