Alan Pardew: "I just feel Mike Ashley won't be an issue, other than a financial issue.

"Of course, there is always somebody who is out of reach or not quite right and the deal doesn't make any sense, their age of whatever.

"You have to work through that with the owners, and I have no problem with that.

"I have watched three-quarters of the games now, there are maybe only a couple to go, and analysed some things we can improve on, and that's something I will present to the players in the next seven days.

"There are definitely areas for improvement, in my opinion, with all teams.

"With this team and where they are, they have done terrifically so far. We just want to add a few things and see if we can try to improve on that."
