well good luck to him I still would have preferd a different appointment but lets see how he does ! http://www.nufc.com/
Newcastle have unveiled Glenn Roeder as their new manager. Roeder took caretaker control of team affairs after Graeme Souness was axed in February and the team embarked on a stunning run of form under his stewardship. A final day win over Chelsea secured The Magpies' place in the Intertoto Cup and prompted the club's board to plump for Roeder over higher-profile candidates. A spanner was thrown into the works when it emerged Roeder did not possess the requisite Pro-Licence badges. Newcastle navigated their way through the obstacles by securing special dispensation from the Premier League for Roeder to pass the tests while at the helm and the 50-year-old was unveiled at a press conference on Tuesday morning. Roeder has been handed a two-year deal and admits he is honoured and elated to have secured the top post on Tyneside. "Obviously I'm very elated to be given this opportunity," Roeder said on Sky Sports News. "Especially being an ex-player and captain of the club. "I know what the expectations are here and it is elation and looking forward to the future. "In the last three months we have turned the season around and secured the results this club expects. "The plan will be over the next couple of years to get similar results and be at the right end of the table, the end of the table where we should be." Magpies chairman Freddy Shepherd has admitted Roeder's efforts in the last three months made it impossible for him to ignore his claims. "It has been building up over the whole season," said Shepherd. "We have looked at other candidates and had other applicants, but let's be honest Glenn has won the job by the results he has achieved and is the highest placed English manager in The Premiership this season and we felt he deserved the job. "It's a two-year contract and it is not a holding job." good luck glenn
They've given it to the right bloke the bonus for me is that from 15 games he's only 2 points short of sunderlands' cumulative total for the last two seasons
It says on the BBC website that they've given Shearer the position of Sporting Ambasador at the club, whatever that means. I've been one of his biggest fans as a player but I wish he'd just fuck off now..
He's supposedly gunna be the one who tries and makes us well known all over the world or smoething like that
I suppose thats not too bad then, at Nicolai: No. Ive bought my ticket i'm entitled to my opinion. I thought it meant he was going to be involved in the management somehow, in which case I'd want him to fuck off.
