Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has revealed that owner Mike Ashley's ongoing issues with the Toon Army faithful makes life difficult for him.
Ashley is constantly the brunt of abuse from a big section of disgruntled Toon fans, but their failure to sign a high-profile striker on deadline day has only heightened some of the anger.
After selling Andy Carroll for a club record £35million fee to Liverpool last summer, the club promised to re-invest and Pardew insisted he would be given the cash to spend.
