5. Alan Pardew: job for life
Newcastle’s decision to hand Alan Pardew such a huge contract looks rather shortsighted now. It looked shortsighted back then, too, but what everybody knew would happen is finally happening.

He’ll never walk, why would he? So it’s up to Mike Ashley to decide how much the club’s Premier League status is worth.
