Glenn Roeder has resigned as manager of Newcastle United, reports Five Live.
The Magpies have had a torrid time with injuries this season, finishing 13th in the Premiership and failing to shine in the cup competitions.

Newcastle have not scored a league goal at St James' Park in over eight hours of playing time, which is their worst run since 1951.

Roeder and chairman Freddy Shepherd came under fire from fans after their home defeat by Blackburn on Saturday.

The club are yet to confirm 51-year-old Roeder's departure, although are expected to do so within hours.

Roeder spent 15 months in charge at St James' Park including his spell as caretaker.

I never saw Roeder as a long term manager for the club, Newcastle are like us in that they crave success and Roeder just isn't that sort of manager.

I think big Sam will make quite a good job of it. With him They will be much higher than they where this year.
