Sam lands £12m deal
By Alan Oliver, The Evening Chronicle
Sam Allardyce will sign a four-year contract worth £12m when he becomes Newcastle United manager next week.
United are facing a compensation claim from Bolton Wanderers regarding their former manager but Freddy Shepherd obviously believes that Allardyce is going to be worth every penny.
Shepherd is clearly confident that he has got his man after a leading national newspaper was tipped off over their meeting in Claridge's in London.
United could hardly have chosen a more public place to let the world know that they were meeting Allardyce, and it is in stark contrast to when they met Kenny Dalglish in a quiet hotel off the M6 when the Scot became their manager in 1997.
The Chronicle reported on Thursday that Allardyce would be unveiled by United in the middle of next week and this will be the case.
All that is needed is for Allardyce to mull over what happened in his talks with Shepherd yesterday and for his contract to be rubber-stamped at a board meeting at St James' Park on Monday.
And the fact that United have offered Allardyce a four-year contract rules out any chance of Alan Shearer returning to the club as manager in the immediate future.
However, what the immediate future holds for United is to see who Allardyce brings in as his backroom staff, although I expect him to offer Lee Clark the chance to stay as Reserve team coach.
Big Sam has always had a large backroom staff at the Reebok Stadium but with the question of compensation still to be sorted out, the last thing United will want to do is upset Bolton chairman Phil Gartside.I have spoken to former United men Gary Speed and Neil McDonald this week, both of whom worked with Allardyce at the Reebok, and it would not surprise me if either - or indeed both - returned to St James' Park.
One of the things that has impressed Shepherd about the way Allardyce has worked at the Reebok Stadium is the lack of injuries Bolton have had in recent seasons.
Indeed, while United players have lost over 400 hours of playing time this season because of injuries, Bolton only lost 70.
And this was because Allardyce and his backroom staff came up with a formula to prevent injuries before they happen.
United fans will wait to see how much Allardyce is given to spend but it will not be a lot as the club has never really recovered financially from spending almost £30m in one week on Michael Owen and Albert Luque.
But Newcastle have not been letting the grass grow under their feet on the question of new players, and the Chronicle revealed yesterday that a delegation from St James' Park had a meeting with top European agent Mike Morris in Monte Carlo on Thursday night.
Shepherd and Allardyce plus their back-up men met in Claridge's for three hours and it's a fair bet a lot of time was spent discussing Michael Owen's situation at St. James' Park.
And I have to say there is a fair chance that Owen will not be a United player come the start of the season.
That was the week, that was
Saturday: Newcastle United are beaten 2-0 by Blackburn Rovers at St James' Park - and there is a post-match demonstration by some fans against chairman Freddy Shepherd and manager Glenn Roeder.
SUNDAY: Roeder is summoned to St James' Park just before noon and the outcome is the parting of ways between the manager and the club. By mid-afternoon, news filters through that Roeder is no longer manager of Newcastle United.
MONDAY: The Chronicle's Sam's The Man front page headline (above) is beamed out on Sky Television by 10am and goes around the world.
TUESDAY: The Chronicle reports that Shepherd is ready to go to war with Bolton Wanderers over Allardyce about the tricky matter of compensation.
WEDNESDAY: The Chronicle reveals that both Sven-Goran Eriksson and Gerard Houllier are interested in replacing Roeder. And that United would probably miss out on Steve Sidwell after Chelsea and Everton moved in on the Reading midfielder. We also reported former United skipper Bobby Moncur's backing for Allardyce.
THURSDAY: The Chronicle said that United would unveil Allardyce in the middle of next week after a deal is rubber-stamped at a board meeting on Monday.
FRIDAY: The Chronicle reported that a United delegation had made a hush-hush trip to Monte Carlo to talk to top European agent Mike Morris, who did a lot of deals with Allardyce in his time as manager of Bolton Wanderers. Chief operating officer Russell Cushing is spotted at the Central Station at the crack of dawn boarding a train for London and things start to hot up.
SATURDAY: Pictures are revealed of Shepherd and Allardyce meeting at a top London hotel and there is now no doubt that Big Sam will be named as Newcastle United manager next week.

Sam Allardyce has held talks with Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd about the vacant manager's post.
Allardyce, who stepped down from his position as Bolton boss on 29 April, is favourite to succeed Glenn Roeder, who resigned last weekend.
"It was a good meeting and my agent will speak to Newcastle again over the next few days to discuss matters further," Allardyce told The Sun.
Shepherd said: "Sam's excited and we're looking forward to making this work."
Allardyce and Shepherd met for lunch at London Claridge's hotel on Friday to discuss the proposed deal.
Shepherd reportedly told his associates at the restaurant: "We want Sam's determination, enthusiasm and ability to lift the club."
Allardyce turned down the chance to manage the Magpies just under three years ago.
Last summer he was interviewed for the England job but was beaten to the role by Middlesbrough boss Steve McClaren.
Allardyce pledged to focus on Bolton but resigned with two league games of the season remaining. His assistant Sammie Lee was soon appointed as his successor.
Roeder resigned last Sunday after he and chairman Freddy Shepherd had come under fire from fans after Saturday's 2-0 home defeat by Blackburn.
His number two Nigel Pearson, who will be assisted by Lee Clark and Terry McDermott, will take charge of Sunday's final game of the season at Watford.
