Roeder Staying On

[Jonny2J]

The Board of the Premier League today announced that they have accepted Newcastle United's request to extend Glenn Roeder's position as caretaker manager of the club to the end of the season.

Although this takes Glenn beyond the 12 week limit for caretaker managers set out in rule Q7 of the Premier League rules, the Board felt that the circumstances involving the appointment of a new England Head Coach meantthat the sensible course of action was to allow the Club to extend Glenn Roeder's term in charge for an additional two matches without sanction.
