Newcastle on the verge of making a decision that will seriously upset their own fans! Newcastle United might soon make a decision that is not likely to go down well with their own fans. According to spokesman for the NUFC Fans United Group and editor of the club’s No.9 fanzine Steve Wraith, it is almost certain that manager Alan Pardew is set to be sacked in the near future in favour of club’s director of football Joe Kinnear. Wraith was quoted in The Daily Mirror, saying: “There is more support for Alan Pardew now than there was at the end of last season, when many wanted him out. They feel he has been undermined and the Joe Kinnear situation has made it inevitable he will replace him as manager… Pardew knows he’s on borrowed time and if results continue to go pear-shaped, there’s only one man who’s going to get his job. Wraith also took a dig at Kinnear for his advances towards the managerial seat at the club. He said: “Kinnear approached Mick Harford in the summer to be his assistant – who ever heard of a director of football having an assistant? That was Joe’s way of telling us what is going to happen. It just seems inevitable and Pardew does not deserve to be treated like this.” Manager Pardew has been criticised a lot for his controversial tactics and his poor management which has put the club in the doldrums recently. However, fans are sceptical of Kinnear taking over from the Englishman, after the 66 year old proved during his 2008-09 stint with the club that he is likely to be an even greater failure. It remains to be seen what the future holds in store for the Toons, who might find themselves in a shambles in the not so distant future if strict steps are not taken to curb the problems existing at the club.
