Newcastle Boss Shrugs-Off Shearer Rumors

January 3, 2008

Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce has ignored rumors that he is about to be replaced by Geordie legend Alan Shearer who has retired 18 months ago. Sam Allardyce however admits that his position at Newcastle has become unstable after the Magpies lost their third consecutive match. He, however, is undaunted and believes that he is doing his job better than ever. He still has high hopes despite mounting pressure on the team.

Pressure mounted even more through Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce as he was caught deeper into trouble when Manchester City finished their wait for a Barclays Premier League triumph at the worst possible pitfall moment for the former Bolton boss.

After a run of unacceptable fallouts this season, and after scoring only one point from a possible six from Derby and Wigan, Sam’s occupancy at Newcastle United seemed wobbly. On Boxing Day, 2007, an appeal appeared online for Chris Mort, suggesting Sam Allardyce’s being removed from his post as urged by Newcastle fans.

Allardyce has had a considerably good record during his term. When Glenn Roeder resigned from his post as Newcastle manager, he signed a contract with the club as manager on June 2007. He started as a player for the Wanderers. He also played for Coventry, Huddersfield, Sunderland, Milwall, Preston North End, Tampa Bay and West Bromwich Albion. After retiring as a player, he moved into coaching teams Preston North End and Sunderland, prior to moving on to management contract with Limerick.

Despite all the rumors and disappointing feedbacks from the fans, Allardyce remains confident with the way he is handling the team.
