Newcastle manager Alan Pardew believes his Liverpool counterpart Brendan Rodgers needs to be given sufficient time in order to restore the club to its former glory.

Rodgers inherited a Reds side on the down following their lowly eighth-place finish in the Premier League last season.
However, he has yet to stop the rut as his side currently sit 12th after nine matches.
And ahead of Sunday's clash at Anfield, Pardew feels the Merseysiders cannot afford to send the new manager packing just yet.
"You have to remember that Brendan Rodgers is someone who was brought in to play a style of football and a vision they believe in," Pardew said.
"They have to give him time and the right tools. In the last window, if I'm honest, I don't think he was given the tools he needed so I think it was always going to be difficult for him.
"Hopefully he will get to the next window in a good competitive place, as that's what Liverpool want to be, one of the top teams.
"It's a period for Brendan and the team when they're evolving and when they're evolving they're vulnerable."
