Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer says Alan Pardew must be sacked. Pardew was sent off during victory over Hull City yesterday for headbutting David Meyler.
Shearer, who played more than 300 times for Newcastle, called Pardew's position at the club untenable.
"What on earth can Alan Pardew say to his players when they misbehave?" said Shearer. "I have never seen anything like that before, ever.
"Frankly I wouldn't be surprised, and I don't think anybody will be surprised at all, if Alan Pardew were to resign over this.
"Even if he doesn't want to resign, the club might be saying to him, 'We might be doing you a favour - you resign rather than us sack you', because that will have to be in his thinking also."
