Newcastle Utd: 5 Managerial Replacements When Alan Pardew (Probably) Resigns

shambolic interview to talkSPORT in which he mispronounced the names of players and staff and also insulted the club's fans, nor was the controversy lessened in any way by news that the 66-year old former Wimbledon manager would be Alan Pardew's superior. And the bad news just kept on coming for Newcastle fans as Kinnear later scrapped the Magpie's long-standing pursuit of free agent Douglas, a player who was highly rated by Pardew and was on the verge of signing. News that Kinnear would have almost total control over the club's transfer business led to the resignation of managing director Derek Llambias and also sparked concerns over the future of head scout Graham Carr. In the wake of all this, Pardew has insisted that he is "happy with Kinnear's appointment" but how can he be content with the fact the club appear to be gripped by the biggest periods of meltdown since their relegation from the top flight in 2009? And how can he be "happy" by the fact he is being completely and utterly undermined? There are some who suggest it is only a matter of time before he follows Llambias out of the door and indeed he is the bookmaker's favourite to become the next manager to leave his post along with Swansea chief Michael Laudrup. And if he does resign, here, we profile 5 managers who could replace him.
