Alan Pardew has insisted Newcastle United will carry on regardless after a tough week on Tyneside.
To compound derby-day defeat, the controversial exit of director of football Joe Kinnear and the resignation of coach Willie Donachie have left the club in a state of disarray.
However, Pardew said: “My message is the same, it is about taking the club forward.
“We cannot stand still, we have to go forward, so it gives us an opportunity to do that.
“Let’s be honest, the derby was an emotional game and the fan running on the pitch with a season ticket and all that, that is what our fans are and we will never take that away from them.
“They are passionate, they love the club and the best thing I can try to do is get the best team I can out there to get results for them.
“I have no problem with that passion. It comes to the surface. There was a bit of frustration this week with season tickets.
“Yet two years ago, we finished fifth, this year we are eighth and we have done a brilliant job.
“We have lost a great player, we know that, and in the summer hopefully we can bring three or four great players in. Let’s hope so because this club deserves it.”
Pardew says he has no issue with being the club’s only spokesman either.
He added: “Well to be honest, I have probably been in that position for a long time.
“I have to carry that responsibility and I have no problem with that.”
