Who gives 6 year contracts anyway these days? If they go on a 10 match losing streak will they retain him or pay a huge compensation?

Stupidity at its best. Long live the Barcode Comedy Circus... :rover:

According to the Independent it's a comparatively low basic wage of £750,000 pa-but it still seems crazy to have given such a long one.

I'm enjoying their suffering so much...is that wrong?

Tbh, I'm still speechless. Hughton formed a bunch of misfits into a solid team, got them promoted with aplomb, recorded some cracking results this year in a wide-open league, and they boot him for it. Hiring Alan Pardew in lieu of Hughton makes a mockery of any 'footballing' rationale for his sacking. Just more jobs for the boys.

Apparently Mike Ashley and Alan Pardew used to visit the same casino.

Even for Newcastle, this is complete madness. What are they like, firing Hughton was like finally scraping the pennies together for a nice suit to wear to an interview, and then cutting the a*** out of it. Completely insane.

They haven't cut the arse out though, Ashley is still there.

"I've had a lot of texts from managers saying 'you must be mad going there'," said Pardew, 49, on Thursday.

"But it's one of the top five clubs in England. It's a daunting prospect but something I couldn't turn down."

:o

You are mad Alan....

Nope he is umemployed and not stupid enough to turn down a premiership job. If he does nothing then he hasn't damaged an already poor reputation (plus a big pay off), if he keeps them up or better then he improves it.

Ashley is a moron!

Shame on Ashley for doing it.

To sack a manager who got you promoted and has done a decent job so far this season is pathetic....I could understand it abit more if they were down with Wolves & West Ham, but they have beat Arsenal away and hammered Villa & Sunderland!

I hope they get what the deserve from all this - and that is relegation come May.

As Phil McNulty wrote on his blog, Newcastle have a self destruct button that they just can't help from pressing. It's a joke that Chris Haughton got fired. Where exactly did they think they would be in the league? Probably top, because they are a massive club, with great fans who deserve to win the league. :rock:

Ashley has obviously being hoping to get rid of Hughton for a long time. He only appointed him as he didn't want to sour any potential buyer's interest by handing out a big contract to someone they might not have wanted and Hughton's been defying him with results ever since he took them off the market. I feel sorry for the more level-headed among their supporters who must have been delighted at the club finally looking like it was on steady foundations. Appointing a turnip like Pardew is an even bigger kick in the mush, and offering contract of this length to the chairman's drinking buddy reeks of corruption.

Pardew used to get West Ham to do their pre match warm up in all white. Apparently this made them look bigger to the opposition and thus intimidate them. Hardly surprising then that he comes out with garbage like -

"it's one of the top five clubs in England. :lol:

At least he fits in with the Geordie notion that they are some kind of Northern Barcelona.
