That would depend on your interpretation of the imperative of maximizing shareholder value being a short term or long term thing.

You aren't compelled to maximize shareholder value just because conservative economists have convinced everyone otherwise.

Sacking Pardew for a couple of million and hiring in an actual manager for a couple more versus losing the TV revenue?

Parachute payments plus selling the players that are still worth something should set Ashley up nicely when he then sells the club.
