There's been rumours recently that Newcastle wanted him out. This would have given them an excuse to fire him if they wanted to, so I guess he's staying.
Don't suppose he's too bothered about losing 100k, I'm sure he can afford it. He does have anger "issues" though.

Community Service would be more effective than that. Get him on the streets helping the flood victims for a month.

Yes, because after spending a few weeks with the ground floor of your home under water and losing the possessions you were unable to get upstairs in time, the one thing that would really make you feel better is Alan Pardew knocking on the door offering tea & biscuits.

Getting him to drink all the floodwater out of your house while you watch might make you feel better though.

My first thought about the "fine" was that it was more for PR than punishment. The FA ban might test the Newcastle board a bit more if the bloke they pay to manage the team cannot attend games for ten weeks or so.
Is OG about to move higher up that list ?

If he gets a longer ban or bigger fine than Anelka then the FA has caused a ridiculous situation by being cowardly and overly-lenient on Anelka's racist behaviour.
A bigger punishment than Anelka and the FA is clearly not committed to eliminating racism and hatred.
Less than Anelka and people will say it's not enough of a fine for Pardew.
Self-inflicted injury. Anelka should have been banned for ten, leaving an acceptable 5-game ban for Pardew.

I've always said that Pardew's a Wongan.

Understood. But it might make you feel better if he handed you the tea and biscuits for you to enjoy, while he spent the day sweeping up the shit outside.

I still can't decide if that really was a headbutt or a badly timed and stumbled lunge bit unfair I think.

IMHO Newcastle have acted to pre empt any action by the FA by saying we have taken action already and thus reducing the length of any ban.

Soup! Why didn’t I get any Soup?
Are there any other professions where one can be fined by their employer for mis-conduct, or is it just sports people?

MOTD and others have been talking about a 10 match touchline ban. I've a sneaking feeling Pardew will get a Library thrown at him rather than just the book, especially considering he has previous form.
I wonder if Newcastle are waiting until the outcome of the expected FA charge before giving him the boot? Due to the length of Pardew's contract, I'm sure they would be happy to go down the gross misconduct route to save themselves a few quid. Ashley would have to sell a lot of tracksuit bottoms and hoodies to finance Pardew's pay off if he wants shot of him.

I believe that clubs are only allowed to fine players and managers a maximum of two weeks wages for whatever reason (sending off, etc...) so i suspect that even if the club had wanted to, they were unable to fine him any more than that anyway.

In most 'normal' jobs, you can be suspended without pay for misconduct - so long as the employer has followed the approved code of practice and employment law.

deserves what ever he gets
but I do think that MOTD pundits and that knob Stelling went right over the top and I have no doubt that the FA will give it large, hypercritical bunch
these you must remember are those along with some of the pundits sat on their hands and zipped up their mouths while our under 21's where being physically and verbally abused by a load of Eastern Europeans not that long ago

It is not quite the same thing though, is it?
If you get suspended without pay you don't need to work!
Although, I don't for one minute feel sorry for him.
