Alan Pardew REFUSES to walk away from Newcastle
ALAN PARDEW is refusing to walk away from struggling Newcastle United.
Pardew, who has been under intense pressure to step down as Newcastle boss, reiterated his loyalty to the Magpies after leading them to a 2-2 draw against Hull at St James' Park.
"I get accused of being arrogant but I am very proud to be manager of this club and I will fight to keep it," said Pardew.
The Magpies came from behind to secure a point against Hull after Papiss Cisse scored twice in the second half.
"We've had to climb a mountain. The players were magnificent for me, I have to thank them.
I am very proud to be manager of this club and I will fight to keep it
"It just goes to show, with Papiss Cisse's celebration, football can bring you together."
"Our senior players were magnificent today, particularly Tiote.
"I'm very proud of the way we conducted ourselves as a team and a staff and we go to the next game."
Newcastle have picked up just three points from their opening five games.
Fans have been vocal over their displeasure over the situation at Newcastle displaying banners during games calling for Pardew to be sacked.
