Who Do You Reckon Will Land The Newcastle Managers Job My odds are on Mancini filling Sounesses shoes or maybe not
Roeder apparently :- Speculation is mounting on Tyneside that Glenn Roeder is set to be handed the Newcastle United job on a permanent basis. Reports in the North East claim the former West Ham boss will be appointed as the successor to Graeme Souness after steadying the ship at St James' Park in a caretaker capacity. Roeder has won nine of the 13 games he has taken charge, drawing once, and appears to have the support of the club's board and fans. A potential stumbling block is his lack of the required qualification regarding a Pro-licence but Newcastle are confident he can be fast-tracked on the course and it should not prove to be an issue. Roeder did initially say he did not want the job full-time but his stance is likely to have changed and it is almost certain that he would accept the responsibility if handed such a prestigious position. Some bookmakers have stopped taking bets on the next Newcastle manager as the club mount a late charge towards a Uefa Cup qualification spot. "I am aware of reports circulating today," chairman Freddy Shepherd told Newcastle's official website. "But the club will not be making any comment on them. "We haven't ruled anyone in, or out, as far as things go."
