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."

| No surprise really, it was only a matter of time before he went. |

| With the Newcastle injury list at the moment I have just a little sympathy with Souness. Not that I think he is the best manager in the premiership but a fully fit squad could possibly have saved his job. |

I agree with much of the sentiment, but its also been clear, that the players available have not been playing with the passion the Geordies are used to. For me Souness was always a stop-gap appointment until they could bring in Shearer in a coaching/assistant role.
Be interesting to see how long the honeymoon lasts.... :wink: |
