Terry rejects Magpies offer

Newcastle’s search for an interim manager is continuing after Terry Venables rejected the chance to take over.
The Magpies’ hierarchy had hoped to persuade the 65-year-old former England boss to bring his vast experience to bear at a club sinking rapidly into the mire following Kevin Keegan’s resignation.
However, after two days of talks, Venables, who performed a similar role alongside Bryan Robson at neighbouring Middlesbrough during the 2000-01 season, and the club could not agree terms.
It is understood the Londoner rejected the offer of a game-to-game deal, but was prepared to discuss a longer-term involvement.
But when it emerged this evening that no agreement had been reached, Newcastle had little choice but to look elsewhere.
