ALAN PARDEW will quit Newcastle before he allows Joe Kinnear to interfere on big transfer target ­decisions.

That’s the bombshell claim from former Toon boss Graeme Souness, who reckons Pardew’s St James’ Park reign could “end in tears” after Kinnear was appointed director of football.
Souness, who had a two-year stint in the Tyneside hotseat, believes chairman Mike Ashley’s move to hire Kinnear is a vote of no confidence in Pardew (above).
Magpies chief Pardew, who signed an EIGHT-YEAR deal at the club last year, has been told by Ashley he will now answer to Kinnear.
And Souey said: “It puts Pardew in a very difficult position. I think it’ll end in tears for ­someone.”
