Allardyce set to join Newcastle next week on three-year deal

Sam Allardyce is expected to be confirmed as the new manager of Newcastle
United by the end of next week. It is understood the former Bolton Wanderers
manager will be offered a three-year contract at St James' Park and, although
there was no comment yesterday from either Newcastle or Allardyce, who is on
holiday in Spain, the deal is effectively sealed.

It is not known whom Allardyce will bring with him as his assistants but it
appears that Glenn Roeder's staff, Nigel Pearson, Terry McDermott and Lee
Clark, will follow him out of St James'. The trio met the Newcastle chairman,
Freddy Shepherd, yesterday and have agreed to take the team for Newcastle's
final fixture of the season at Watford on Sunday. Newcastle are not expected
to say anything officially until after that game.

What is expected, however, is that Newcastle's backroom staff will soon
mushroom. At Bolton Allardyce had 21 different figures behind the scenes.
Mike Forde, "performance director" at Bolton, is highly regarded by Allardyce
and is described as "the glue" behind Allardyce's ideas. Forde is a likely
recruit, as is Mark Taylor, who is in charge of sports science and who has
known Allardyce since their days together at Blackpool. Ricky Sbragia, coach
at Bolton, is another close to Allardyce.

Bolton's reaction to any possible developments remains to be seen. Their
chairman, Phil Gartside, was decisive nine days ago in enforcing Allardyce's
resignation from the club and said Bolton would pursue compensation if
Allardyce was to be appointed elsewhere. But Gartside had Manchester City in
mind specifically when he was speaking then and the readiness of Newcastle
and Allardyce to wait until after this season ends suggests that contractual
clauses surrounding compensation may have elapsed by next week. Bolton were
unable to confirm any details yesterday.

Roeder's resignation on Sunday, after the 2-0 home defeat by Blackburn Rovers
24 hours earlier, meant that he became the third Newcastle manager to leave
the club in the past three years, following Graeme Souness and Sir Bobby
Robson. An advantage that Allardyce will have over those managers from the
outset is that they were all appointed mid- or early-season, while he will
have all summer to plan. Shepherd has been aware that, while the sackings of
Souness and Robson barely caused a ripple of complaint, their timing was the
subject of criticism locally.

Roeder, an admirer of Arsene Wenger, had been planning a European summer
training camp akin to Arsenal's and Pearson had been to Germany to view
facilities there, but it is believed that plan has been shelved and Newcastle
will be involved in a foreign tour plus possibly a summer tournament.
Presumably discussions with Allardyce will cover such topics.


看來八九不離十了
新堡的食材其實一向都還不錯
只是廚師的廚藝不佳

會知道Allardyce這個人~~差不多是從6年前開始
那個時候的博頓是個超級大爛隊,一直都在降級區附近浮浮沉沉的
而我當時在英國交情最好的客戶就是Bolton死忠球迷

看他這幾年把博頓一路從爛隊拉到目前這樣的高度~~其實蠻佩服他的
如果真是他接下新堡的工作~~也期待他把新堡的成績做出來
