GLENN Roeder is set to be unveiled as Newcastle United manager on Monday after the club won the backing of Premiership chairman in their effort to appoint him.
The 50-year-old will be presented at a press conference by chairman Freddy Shepherd, whose lobbying since league chiefs granted him permission to seek a vote of approval from his counterparts paid dividends today.
Shepherd has been granted dispensation to appoint Roeder, who guided his side into seventh place after taking over from Graeme Souness on a temporary basis, despite his lack of a FIFA Pro Licence.
