10 Shocking Statistics That Prove Alan Pardew Should Be Sacked

Don’t be fooled by his soundbites, the facts are there in black and white.

Thanks to the anonymous group behind SackPardew.com, the tide is finally turning against Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew. Dismissed for so long as €˜those Geordies whinging about everything€™, the website€™s launch opened the eyes of the media and general public. A combination of quotes, devastating statistics and intelligently-written articles has exposed Pardew as a liar, a hypocrite and an excuse-maker. The pressure is visible on Pardew€™s face and many are shocked that he has survived the past fortnight. At any other club, he€™d have been sacked several times over but, under Mike Ashley, Newcastle are no normal club. As well as the abysmal recent sequence of results, Pardew has head butted a footballer, pushed a linesman and called Manuel Pellegrini some nasty things. Masters of media manipulation, the club have recently hired PR guru Keith Bishop to warm Pardew up for his press conferences. Unfortunately, a lot of Newcastle fans have been brainwashed by this propaganda and the resulting fan split is heartbreaking to see. But it can€™t be disputed that, the longer Pardew stays in his untenable position, the greater the club€™s chances of relegation are. Heading into the October international break, Pardew is busy celebrating draws against Hull and Swansea like he€™d just won at the Bernabeu. But don€™t be fooled by his soundbites, the facts are there in black and white. They form a compelling argument.
