Roeder dumped by the Toon

Reports coming out of Newcastle tonight indicate that the worst kept secret in football is about to come out in the open.

Glenn Roeder sacking will be announced when the stock market re-opens on Tuesday, with Sam Allardyce appointed before the last game of the season.

You have to say that at last the Newcastle board will have got a managerial decison correct after stumbling from one nightmare to another.

Expect the Geordies to pillage the Bolton squad in the summer and be challenging for a European place next term
