Default Souness sacked!
Newcastle dismiss manager Souness
Newcastle have announced that Graeme Souness' contract has been terminated with immediate effect.
The Magpies have won only one point in six Premiership matches and are only six points above the relegation zone.

A statement on the club's website read: "The employment of Graeme Souness has been terminated with immediate effect.

"And an announcement will be made shortly regarding transitional arrangements pending the appointment of a new team manager."

Souness took charge of Newcastle in September 2004 after Bobby Robson was sacked.

Hardly a surprise, look for McLeish "resigning" at the end of the season having got himself a job at one of the teams at the bottom of the Premiership/top of Championship (Sunderland maybe?) and Souness slotting into place at Castle Greyskull.

I do believe you'll find Souness will be moving back into Snake Mountain...

Finally. I hope they bring in someone half decent.

Souness should have been fired months back, signing Owen shouldn't have been enough to save his contract..

Fair enough the results haven't been great but he's had the worst luck I've seen hit a team in years. Almost every first choice player has been out injured. Fuck knows how any manager was expected to succeed with that.
