With Alan Pardew having alleviated some of the pressure on him with victory over Blackburn, the attention of the tabloids has now turned to Newcastle‘s Glenn Roeder. The in vogue insult to any manager’s credentials is, of course, to have Sven Goran Eriksson linked with you job.
The Sun reports that Sven has ‘targeted’ Newcastle as the place to resume his managerial career – a claim Sven has denied. Surely Sven would not be so sneaky as to plot to take another manager’s job (cough, Fake Sheikh).
