I agree, he wouldn't win anything at Newcastle. His Stoke team were loss making and had a diminishing points return during their time in the Premier League. He left Palace because he couldn't accept the constraints on our transfer policy, and he won't work well at a club which is realistically a business based on signing cheap young foreign talent and then selling them on at the first hint of a profit.

He hasn't done enough for a big club to give him the full running, and no small club could afford to.

Across about 210 Premier League games, Pardew has a better win % than Pulis, fwiw.

Adzii nufc is right - the manager isn't the problem at Newcastle.
