http://tinyurl.com/34c5bp Freddy Shepherd has challenged Newcastle's new manager to awaken a sleeping giant and take the club back into Europe. 牧羊人要求新主帅叫醒Newcastle这个沉睡的巨人(XD) 并且带我们回到欧洲赛场。 Giving his strongest hint yet that Sam Allardyce would be appointed as Glenn Roeder's successor, the Magpies chairman has demanded that the new boss deliver success to St James' Park. Newcastle finished the season in 13th position and Shepherd insists that is unacceptable for such a big club. "The first job for the new manager is to get Newcastle back into the top six in the Premiership and to make sure the club is playing regularly in Europe. That is the minimum we expect," he told the Daily Telegraph. 牧羊人承认排名13是不可接受的结果。 "新主帅必须要带球队回到前六，保证我们可以经常的打欧洲赛场。 这是最低限度。" "Where we are in the Premier League this season simply isn't acceptable to either me or our fans. "今年在英超的排名对於我跟球迷都是无法接受的。" (这句话跟某个Big Boss前阵子说的好像....) "This managerial change is about re-establishing Newcastle United as a formidable power both in the Premiership and Europe. "Sam Allardyce knows that a club with Newcastle's support, resources and wage bill must be challenging at the top end of the table. "But you only have to look at what he achieved in transforming Bolton to know that his credentials match the job description." Shepherd believes the future will be bright for Newcastle with a new manager on board and hopefully an end to the injury crisis that has thwarted their progress this season. "There are still many reasons to look ahead with optimism," he said. "This campaign has been beset by numerous injuries to key players but despite that we had for some time realistic hopes of qualifying for Europe once again. "With a summer break and a fully fit squad there is absolutely no reason why we should not be in the top third of the table from the start of next season and end it by qualifying for Europe." 总之牧羊人对於Big Sam寄予厚望， 并且认为我们下赛季的排名必须大跃升。 --
