Former Newcastle United midfielder Don Hutchison says Alan Pardew's time is up.
Hutchison was shocked by the manner of defeat at Southampton.
He wrote in the Evening Chronicle: "Alan Pardew's time is up at Newcastle United. He is only clinging onto his job now because Mike Ashley is on a mission to run the club as cheaply as he can.
"I was working with Tim Sherwood and Andy Townsend on punditry duties on Saturday with access to all of the games and I had to rub my eyes in disbelief at what was going on in the Newcastle game.
"Big defeats haven't exactly been rare in 2014 but I think with everything riding on a successful start to the season, that was arguably the worst of the lot."
