Andy Cole: Newcastle losing attraction for players

Former Newcastle United striker Andy Cole feels his old club is losing it's attraction.

A modest top ten finish and manager Alan Pardew' behaviour has Cole questioning where the club is going.

He told the Evening Chronicle: "It makes it easier to leave. What happened last season was absolutely crazy - not just with what happened with the players, but with Alan Pardew getting roped into the situation with the player at Hull and getting sent off.

"You look at that and think a manager should not get himself into that position.

"You wouldn't tell your players to go on like that, then he ends up doing it.

"What is going on at Newcastle United? Only time will tell."
