Newcastle boss Pardew fears for family security

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew fears for his family's security.

Pardew says Toon fans on the street have made their feelings known to the under-fire Newcastle boss.

"My family and friends worry me a little bit, because it's started going past football media at times," he said.

"That's not nice. But that makes me more determined and that's just the make-up that I have. I don't shy away from it. I've been out and about all week.

"I've been out in town and I will continue to do that. It's important that my resilience is the strongest of anybody.

"Yeah, I've had one or two interactions where fans have made their point and I've got no problem with that, that's part of being a football manager.

"I've also had two or three fans who are wishing me to come through it and I appreciate that as well."
