Former Newcastle United boss Graeme Souness wouldn't be surprised to see Alan Pardew sacked after yesterday's events.
Pardew was sent off during victory over Hull City yesterday for headbutting David Meyler.
Souness said: "That is a sackable offence. I've been frustrated and upset by a number of things, but I've never gone down that road.
"Pardew has a track record of confronting people - he is extremely passionate, but this passion this time has gone too far."
