Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley held crunch talks with manager Alan Pardew yesterday.
The Daily Mail says Ashley has backed Pardew after clear-the-air talks with the Newcastle manager over his future.
The club's owner has told Pardew he doesn't want to judge his four year spell at St James' Park in the opening four games of the season in the Barclays Premier League.
Pardew is under massive pressure from Newcastle supporters after their disappointing start to the season left them bottom of the table with just two points.
