nothing on bbc/football atm

Good decision - bad timing.
We basically need a caretaker to stop us getting relegated and then use the off-season
to find somebody who knows the first thing about managing a football team.

Just heard about this, on the one hand I'm glad he's been sacked, but on the other I'm not sure if the timing was right. Apparently Glenn Roeder is taking charge temporarily LINKY

Bit like Souness, high expectations and not enough on the field

Souness - England Manager
Megson - Newcastle.

It makes sense

NEWCASTLE United today announced that the employment of Graeme Souness has been terminated with immediate effect.

An announcement will be made shortly regarding transitional arrangements pending the appointment of a new team manager.

From the official site.

Bring back Keegan until the end of the season , then a good appointment in the summer.
I reckon it could be Sven.
He or O Neil would do for me.

i bet andy cole is loving scoring that goal

Burned_Alive · 2 Feb 2006 at 12:03

Shearer for manager?
