Probably not. City are desperate to cling on to poo poo managers to prove they're not chelsea

I seem to recall last year they said as long as they win at least one trophy per year, the manager's job won't be in danger.

If when Arsenal finish 5th and lose the FA Cup final will Arsene finally walk? I'd assume he'd be kicked at that stage

Honestly it's probably up to him. I think he will step down after this season regardless of what happens.

If Arsene walks, Alan Pardew will be the longest serving manager in the Premier League. Think about that everyone.

If he gets fired then it's Big Sam, if he also gets fired then it'll be Nigel Pearson coming up with Leicester.

If they can find someone better I'm sure they will get sack him without thinking twice.

City fans are just happy to be in the premier league, they watched their team lose away to Ilkeston in the pouring rain just a few years ago, after all.

City would be pretty stupid to sack Pellegrini. One of the big advantages Liverpool had over City and Chelsea was not having to gel a team with a new manager. If they'd sack him they'd be back where they were start of this season dropping a few crucial points where they needn't.

He's a loving old oval office actually. In other Pardew news he might be close to losing the dressing room. Some of the players have become annoyed that he didn't drop Ben Arfa after Ben Arfa ranted at him after the Man utd loss blaming him for the loss of form of Yanga-Mbiwa and Marveaux

Jose when I was up in newcastle a few months ago everyone I knew who was a newcastle fan told me the same thing - Pardew wont be sacked or quit because he has massive gambling debts to Ashley, and he's working them off. Is there any truth to that or is it all bollocks. I got told it by a few different season ticket holders, and then by an old man with his dogs who stopped me when I was posing outside the stadium. Heres the pic of me posing

So we're gonna need 8 new players and a new manager. It's going to be a depressing summer because who would want to manage us/manage under Ashley, and who would want to play for us.

I've never heard anything about Pardew having gambling debts to Ashley, it seems a bit of a weird conspiracy. Pardew probably won't be sacked or leave because he's in a fairly safe position job wise since so long as we finish around top 10 Ashley will be happy.

Players sign for clubs with mental owners all the time I doubt its really an issue

Arsene and pellegrini aren't even in the top ten of managers likely to leave. Sherwood is 5/2 then all the relegation candidates plus Moyes

Arsene 25/1, could be worth a punt ???? As a successor is prob lined up

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

I think arsene will go in the summer, hopefully after winning the FA cup so it's on a high point. I love him to bits but he's getting on abit and the team has been stagnating badly for a while.

I can't imagine how huge these debts would be than they would be worth more than the cost of a failing premier league manager.

I think Ashley is happy for Newcastle to bumble along indefinitely midtable but if that status was threatened I think he'd make a change.

There was a very similar story about Jonathan Woodgate when he left Boro for Spurs in 2008.

Do supporters of other historically successful clubs have really high expectations too or is it just Newcastle fans?

Do Wolves, Blackburn, Leeds and Forest supporters think they deserve to be in Europe?
