If that happens Alan Pardew will have to find a BIG NAME transfer as a way of appeasing the supporters.
Pardew claims the club will spend money, but they can’t afford to be left trying to do deals towards the end of the transfer window, like the previous two windows.
Pardew claims he was hugely unimpressed with the Frenchman’s attitude over the closing months of the season, but the same can be said about Hatem's feelings towards Pardew!
They don't see eye-to-eye and the Frenchman has told friends he is willing to see out his contract and wait for the axe to fall on Pardew ... but that could change because Mike Ashley has confirmed the manager will be at St James' Park at the start of next season.
