Roeder Resigns

Glenn Roeder has 'resigned' as manager of the Barcodes, presumably a matter of hours before the appointment of Big Fat Sam (as opposed to Little Fat Sam, the Bolton manager).

Despite the Barcodes not having scored a league goal at St James' Park in over eight hours of playing time, Roeder's management of the club has been an unqualified success, well in as far as he managed to avoid relegation for a whole season.
