[Nicey]

i know, but it has also allot to do with the players he brought in to replace them. and his style of play...

lyon are cruising however scored the most goals, conceded fewer than the rest. but still he's not all that popular in france at the moment. don't know why...

The great unwashed wanted to get rid of Demento not so long ago there is no please some people and those people tend to be football fans

Sven Goran Eriksson's agent has confirmed his client's interest in the managerial vacancy at Newcastle, while reports claim Gerard Houllier has made public his desire for the post.

Eriksson's representative Athole Still claims the former England manager would be available were Magpies chairman Freddy Shepherd to make an approach.

However Still stressed that there had been no contact as yet between the two parties.

Still said: "There has been no contact whatsoever, but if Newcastle were interested in Sven Goran Eriksson, I am sure Sven Goran Eriksson would be interested in talking to Newcastle."

Former Liverpool boss Houllier, now in charge of French champions Lyon, is also believed to be in the running to succeed Glenn Roeder, according to reports in the North East.

Former Bolton boss Sam Allardyce has been linked strongly with the post made vacant following Roeder's resignation on Monday.

Sven is a **** and his been whoring himself at every job that has come available, and no one has touched him. For the reason he's **** and over rated plus I read England are still paying him....what a joke the FA are.

Fat Sam decent coach but Newcastle should sack all there staff Lee Clark as a coach FFS what a joke and Terry McDermott a conference team back staff in a Prem League.

The chairman is a bully and a another **** hasnt a clue how to run a club. He's a newcastle fan but that shouldnt be near the Board room. Ant and Dec could probably do a better job their a comedy act and so are Newcastle

[thesilverfoxlfc]

GED i think would do a decent job with them IMO

Depending on the circumstances that are at the club, any manager going there would want to lay down the rules for they to be able to bring succes to the club or it will be the same story as the last 100 odd years

I'd LOVE IT if Houllier took over Newcastle FLMAO

Silverware key to Allardyce exit

Allardyce turned Bolton into an established Premiership club
Former Bolton boss Sam Allardyce has revealed that he left the club because he wants to win silverware.

Allardyce resigned on 29 April, with chairman Phil Gartside claiming he "wanted some time with his family and to reflect on his life".

But Allardyce, who has held talks with Newcastle, said in the Mail on Sunday: "I have had praise for what I've done, but there's nothing at the end of it.

"I want silverware. I'm determined to get it before my days are over."

Leaving Bolton had nothing to do with any other club, in spite of all the speculation

Allardyce is scheduled to appear at Bolton's final game of the season at home to Aston Villa on Sunday to say farewell to the club's supporters.

A win for the Lancashire club will see them secure a Uefa Cup place for the second time in three seasons.

But Allardyce has revealed that he had concerns about the direction in which the club was heading.

"For me, the level we were at, what was happening, how we were going, I didn't feel comfortable with anymore," added Allardyce.

"I needed a change. I started to think about me for the first time in eight years and said it's my time to go."

Allardyce met Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd last week for talks about the vacant managerial position at the Magpies.

But the 52-year-old insists he did not have another job lined up when he left the Trotters.

"It had nothing to do with any other club, in spite of all the speculation," he said.

"Of course I want to stay in football. It's left open now for whatever might turn up."

Allardyce assembled a large backroom staff at Bolton - and would do so again if he took over at another club but believes it resulted in less money to spend on players at the Trotters.

"Building the infrastructure was always the most important thing," Allardyce said.

"It has taught me that, wherever I go, it becomes the essential thing to do, to organise a group who are qualified in what they do.

"Building the staff meant we had no money for players."

So let me get this straight....he left Bolton so he can win some silverware, so he's going to manage Newcastle?!!?

Is he delusional?
