Newcastle 2014-15 Season Review - 20 Stats From The Campaign
13. 9th - Position Magpies Were In After 19 Games When Alan Pardew Left For Crystal Palace
When Alan Pardew left for Crystal Palace at the turn of the year, Newcastle were in ninth place on 26 points after 19 games. They were comfortably on course for a mid-table finish and were on a reasonable run of form. However, that form capitulated under John Carver during 2015 - and the Magpies instead finished 15th, on just 39 points.
