Pardew says Barton told him nobody wanted him at Newcastle as toxic atmosphere claim resurfaces
Alan Pardew has claimed his Newcastle United tenure was undermined by a toxic atmosphere, telling FourFourTwo that Joey Barton informed him nobody wanted him at the club, supporters never appreciated him, and the local media worked against him. Pardew managed Newcastle from 2010 to 2014, finishing fifth in 2011-12 and reaching the Europa League quarter-finals, before leaving for Crystal Palace. He has not managed in the Premier League since 2018.
