Newcastle boss Pardew has £5M sack clause in deal

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew will be due a massive £5 million if he is sacked by chairman Mike Ashley.

The Daily Mail says although Pardew signed an eight year contract with the club in September 2012, there is a break clause in the deal if Ashley decides to sack his boss.

Ashley would have pay a fixed fee in compensation - around £5million - to sack Pardew, but he vowed to support his manager during talks over the past 48 hours.
