BBC are reporting that Alan Pardrew is in line for the Newcastle job. I can't see how his CV is that impressive to warrant replacing Hughton with him.
Pardew has over 500 games under his belt, but limited Premier League experience.
He joined West Ham in September 2003 and guided them to promotion to the Premier League in 2005 before being sacked in December 2006.
He then joined Charlton on Christmas Eve 2006 but the club were relegated from the Premier League later that season and after failing to get promotion in 2007-08, he left in November 2008.
