Big Sam has a big job

Newcastle are perrenial under-achievers and yet it seems to be the place many well regarded managers go to loose their reputations. Many have gone before to the sword there Bobby Robson, Kevin Keegan, Rudd Ghullit, Graeme Souness just to name a few, some of those had actually won league titles with less fashionable clubs before taking up the reigns, something Big Sam has never actually done.

So, will Sam bring them to the brink like Keegan and Robson or will his career be left in tatters like Souness and Ghullit.....only time will tell.....one thing is for sure it will prove to be a bigger job than sustaining the limp appitites of the Bolton faithful.

But then, all he needs to do is buy himself a decent defence and keep Freddie Shepard happy by winning the Carling cup or whatever its called these days.
