BBC said:It is believed Pardew became close friends with Newcastle owner Mike Ashley and director Derek Llambias when all three were familiar faces at an exclusive London casino where Llambias was managing director.
Mmmm, why sack Haughton in the first place. Ray Lewington will be named as Assistant Manager.
Wonder where Martin 'i want to move to the premier league' Jol will go and join.
Good one Mike Ashley, not like Martin Jol's a free agent or anything... He wants PL experience, so he sacks the man who's been involved in PL clubs for 20 odd years and looks set to appoint Alan F*cking Pardew?
Muppet.

Moving on though, and I think that's a mystery to most people, especially now it seems as if he isn't sacking him to appoint Martin Jol.
Redknapp to England, Jol to Spurs?
