Alan Pardew's job as Newcastle United manager is reportedly hanging by a thread due to the club's winless start to the Premier League season.

The Magpies, who finished 10th in the table last season, have recorded one defeat and two draws in the league so far.

A number of fans began to turn on Pardew towards the end of the 2013-14 campaign following the sale of Yohan Cabaye to Paris Saint-Germain.

According to The Express, owner Mike Ashley plans to give Pardew just two games to keep his job as he is losing patience with the team's progress.

Newcastle are currently 16th in the league table.
