After all the speculation earlier this week, Newcastle United have now confirmed that Alan Pardew is safe in his job as manager at the club. Managing Director Derek Llambias said this afternoon that the discussions held on Wednesday were constructive and that the priority is to maintain the stability at the club. 

Llambias said;

"Everyone connected with the club was disappointed to finish where we did  last season, particularly on the back of such a fantastic year prior to that.

Our discussions on Wednesday were very constructive and we  pinpointed a number of factors that contributed to a season which fell below  expectations. 

We are now looking forward and are entirely focused on the forthcoming  campaign, with the expectation of at least a top-10 finish in the Premier  League. There has been a great deal of speculation in recent weeks but our  desire, as we announced back in September, is to bring long-term stability to  this club. 

It's up to us all now to work closely as a team to ensure next season sees  us competing in the top half of the table again. We would all like to thank the  fans for their continued support and assure them we remain committed to  providing affordable football at St James' Park."

So now that is sorted the club can focus on strengthening the squad with some new players to assist them in getting back into the top half of the Premier League.

Llambias Confirms Pardew's Future Is Safe

People won't until it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

why should it stop.. whats the point of stability if its concludes without progress? does anyone honestly believe Pardew has the ability to lead us to new heights or even just playing some enjoyable/watchable football?

Though I wanted him to go it's important that they don't now do something stupid like sack him in September.

Can't stand the guy or his supposedly "attacking football" ! At least with comments like those once his managerial career is over he can become a comedian
Having said that I agree I hope they don't do something stupid like sacking him in oct/nov , he should be gone now or a few weeks ago after some of the performances witnessed at st James' so that the new manager gets to asses the team and have a full pre season but they've decided to stick with less than mediocre , so might as well see it through now
