Newcastle fans are having the time of their lives this Easter, as Alan Pardew became the latest Premier League manager to lose his job.

Things probably didn’t feel like they could get any better for Newcastle fans last summer, as they got promoted as champions while arch-rivals Sunderland went down the other way.

After a difficult season, things are now looking even better for the Magpies though, as back to back wins against relegation rivals has moved Rafa Benitez’s side into 12th, seven points clear of the bottom three.

As if escaping relegation trouble and beating Manchester United in the space of a month wasn’t enough to lift spirits on Tyneside, West Brom have today announced that Alan Pardew is leaving the club by mutual consent.

This may seem relatively insignificant to fans outside of Newcastle, but the Toon Army are celebrating the news like they’ve just beaten another relegation rival.

Pardew managed the Magpies from 2010 to 2014, and earned plenty of animosity from fans for his awful management and multiple conflicts and controversies.

West Brom are currently bottom of the league, ten points adrift of safety, and Newcastle fans are absolutely loving Pardew’s downfall.
