GRAEME SOUNESS: It never fails to amaze me how football mad the city of Newcastle is

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 24, 2023
GRAEME SOUNESS: I only had to step out onto the streets of Newcastle on any day of the week to understand the obsession with football and the incredible load of anticipation in that region. I don't believe there is a city in the United Kingdom where you'd see as many people out sporting the local team's colours when the team wasn't even playing. It never failed to awe me. When I took over in 2004, I was like all the bosses before and after me, and I was thinking, 'If you get this right, what an amazing football team this could be.' However, managers didn't stay at the club for very long. In terms of getting everyone rowing in the same direction, it was a challenging place to work. You're just one game away from being irreversibly wrong. You should have a good run, but if you're losing a game, everything changes dramatically.
