Alan Pardew
Alan Pardew reiterated his desire to cling on to the Newcastle United job after they drew 2-2 at Swansea City, but the Magpies’ winless run is getting out of hand and a fortuitous point in South Wales did little to convince fans that Pardew is capable of turning it around. Newcastle were stodgy, one-paced and largely outplayed by a more inventive home side – Pardew cannot rely on Papiss Cisse’s finish ability bailing him out every week.
