Alan Pardew hasn’t officially left Newcastle yet, but there’s already a campaign (of sorts) to remove the man the bookies think is going to replace him as manager.
Argentinian defender Fabio Coloccini is favourite to take over should Pardew, as expected, move to Crystal Palace – a fact which clearly took Jamie Carragher by surprise.
Newcastle fans have never been slow to show their displeasure during Pardew’s reign, and now it seems the prospective new man is already getting a taste of what’s in store.
This Twitter account popped up within hours of the news beginning to surface.
No more #SackPardew. #SackColoccini

Coloccini has never won a game as manager. He is clearly not the man to take this club forwards. #SackColoccini #nufc

We suspect it may not be 100% serious – perhaps some mischief-making Mackems might be responsible?
It’s fair to say there aren’t many people out there who seem to think the 32-year-old’s appointment would be a good idea, though.
Coloccini has been a fine captain for Pardew but Newcastle can't seriously appoint him as manager now? Crazy even by Ashley standards #nufc

The @Carra23 reaction to the news Coloccini is a possible first choice replacement for Pardew pretty much sums it up for me #nufc

No coaching badges, poor English and always dashing off to Argentina. The fact Coloccini makes no sense means he's surely Ashley's choice?
