Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer feels it will be very difficult for manager Alan Pardew to keep his job at the club.
Pardew was recently reminded of his responsibilities by the FA following a foul-mouthed tirade towards Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini at St James' Park. And it appears the latest incident will see him facing further disciplinary action from the authorities, although he attempted to quell the furore with an immediate apology and explanation. Pardew told Sky Sports after the match: "It was just a heat of the moment thing. Obviously I massively regret it. "I didn't mean to do anything aggressive, but I did move my head forward and that's enough. "He was right on top of me and I wanted to just ease him away from me but obviously I put my head in a forward motion. "I want to apologise to him, everyone at Hull and obviously my own fans as well. "I don't think it was a headbutt. It wasn't a motion that was quick. "Of course, I'm not stupid enough to accept there's going to be no punishment. I'll have to accept whatever comes my way. "I believe my behaviour over the years has not resulted in too many fines and sitting in the stands, but this one probably will."
