We always intended to take our time over the appointment of a full-time manager and that is still the case as we consider our options very carefully.
Let's be absolutely clear about this, we have made no approach to anyone at this moment in time.
No, of course not, ... and I don't think there is any manager in this country who would not want Michael Owen.
Newcastle fans love centre forwards and Michael is a fantastic goal-scorer. He's someone we would love to build the team around and we hope he can help us bring success to the club.
I didn't want to be known as the man who shot Bambi.
I don't know why it's being said we can't qualify. Nothing's been decided.
Glenn and Alan are capable of getting us through to the end of this season. The board won't be hurried. We have to get the appointment right and we will take our time.

Our aim is to have the new management structure in place before the last ball of the season is kicked.
That's going to happen sooner rather than later.
You should only say good things when somebody leaves. Robert has gone - good!
This is a big club and you saw the reception he got when he arrived.
There is not much more we can do. We are waiting to hear from Owen and his adviser,
It was a bit late but better late than never.
It was a disappointing start but we got the three players we wanted and we set out to get,
I must have amnesia as I can't remember sending a text message to Mr. Eriksson. I don't even have his number so I'd love to see this message. All I can say is that I'd like to wish Mr. Eriksson well with England in the summer, and good luck for whatever he chooses to do after that.
