Allardyce to be named Newcastle manager at season end May 02, 2007 Sam Allardyce is set to be named Newcastle United manager at the end of this season. The Sun says Big Sam is in line to replace Glenn Roeder but under the terms of his exit from Bolton, he is not allowed to get a new job until the campaign has finished. But as soon as the final whistle blows on Sunday May 13, Toon chairman Freddy Shepherd will swoop for Allardyce and stop Manchester City scuppering his plans. That all spells bad news for Roeder, who is heading towards the St James' Park exit door after failing to convince Shepherd he is the man to revive Tyneside's fortunes. Allardyce is seen by Toon officials as the figurehead the club needs to make inroads into the top four. And with bitter rivals Sunderland revitalised under the inspirational Roy Keane, Shepherd is fretting at the prospect of the Black Cats becoming the North East's biggest club. (这才是重点啊，身为新堡球迷怎能忍受伤德兰变成东北第一大！？) A Toon source admitted: "Freddy isn't being very forthcoming about Glenn's future or any potential transfer budget and admits Sam's availability has changed things. "Something could be happening very soon." 科科科....... --
