Alan Pardew has already been handed a £100,000 fine by his club, and today the FA gave him a seven match suspension and a £60,000 fine on top. Should Newcastle kick Pardew out of St James Park?
It's not the first time Alan Pardew have had to stand in front of a FA commission - in 2012 the manager was given a two match ban and £20,000 in fine for pushing an assistant referee. Furthermore, he has been warned of his future conduct after calling Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini "a fucking old cunt".
Pardew clearly has a problem with his temper, and the headbutt on Hull's David Meyler is yet another example of the manager overreacting. The NUFC manager admitted to an FA misconduct charge and will be banned with immediate effect. Three of the games will be a stadium ban, which means that Pardew will be completely banned from the stadia while the last four will be a touchline ban.
With the manager being out in seven of the last nine rounds of the Premier League, and with Newcastle living a mid-table life, this might be the time for NUFC to find a new manager. Lee Clark, Roberto Di Matteo and Neil Lennon, are all favorites to become the next Newcastle manager according to the bookmakers, but despite Pardews controversies the board seems to keep confidence with him.
A bad position in the end of the season could change that though.
