Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew will reportedly not fall victim to the managerial merry-go-round as the club plan to keep him at the helm.

There had been suggestions that the 51-year-old would be shown the door at St James' Park due to the team's fall into a relegation battle following last season's push for Europe.

Despite the danger of dropping into the Championship, the North West side secured Premier League safety with a 2-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers on Sunday.

Following their victory, Pardew has been assured that his future is with the Magpies, but he will still hold an already-planned meeting with owner Mike Ashley and managing director Derek Llambias next weekend, according to The Chronicle.

Newcastle are currently 13th in the table.
