Though he is the club captain and is said to be one of the players fighting tooth and nail for his manager at the minute, Fabricio Coloccini has allegedly not always been totally behind his manager. As the side slid to another loss last season against Stoke in the middle of the disturbingly bad run of results we're currently still seeing, Coloccini apparently was involved in a heated exchange with Pardew about the club's poor run of form, according to the Mirror. Unhappy with the side's slump, the Argentinian launched a tirade towards the manager, taking him to task on results, performance and his management, despite the assurances he had received from on high that he wouldn't be sacked. Considering the history of what happens to vocal dissenters in the Newcastle ranks, Coloccini's stand was a remarkable one, even if it seems the relationship has now been mended.
