wow. Lawrensen on Pardew. Clear, fresh thinking, and not a cliche in sight
"He's under pressure more than any other manager that has been there to get results.
Alan Pardew is a real football man and has done pretty well at most places but there is a unique pressure at Newcastle. It is the biggest city in the country with only one football club and there is an incredible appetite to know what is happening at St James' Park.
"It's a cliche but it is like operating in a goldfish bowl.
"When a manager is appointed, you usually get a month to six weeks to get things going. Pardew has probably got two or three games. He needs to make a connection with the fans and, as ever, the best way to do that is by winning football matches."
