Alan Pardew has become Newcastle United's 12th manager in 13 years, charged with restoring the club to former glories in an atmosphere of discontent around the city. "It is fairly obvious that the players and the fans had great respect for Chris Hughton and the fact that he has gone has caused quite a stir and some people are upset about it," the 49-year-old said.
"I know the fans are frustrated. They probably thought they had some stability with Chris and that has gone.
"With the record of managers they have had here, it does not bode well, but I have tried to get in that contract a situation that they have to show faith in me."
"I have had a lot of texts from managers saying 'you must be mad going there', but I would never be able to live with myself if I did not take that challenge on." he added.
"The problem I am going to have initially is the players and making sure I get my message across quickly and with clarity." he concluded.
