Nice pic of Pardew on the screen behind him too.
Just a publicity stunt
He's out !
My thoughts when I read the resignation piece, and what prompted me to post the "[been?]" comment, were that he'd had a run in with the Yanks.
"Steve, we note that you're appearing on a reality TV show. You must have been negotiating this while the club were in free fall down the league, headed towards relegation. Could you point me to the part in the Shareholders' Agreement where it says that you don't have to devote your time to the club? Could you please tell me what we have done that led you to think that we'd be ok with you taking our money and then swanning off to do a bit of self-aggrandising, self-promoting TV? Are you kidding me? Are you f***ing KIDDING me? Get your ass off that show now and focus on trying to get us a return on our investment will you please? I'm sure you would have wanted a return from the businesses you would have invested in had you been a dragon; guess what, so do we!"
8 days for the sacking, sorry resignation.
I wonder what additional time he needs at CPFC that wasn't needed last week
At least I can now continue to watch the show
