Skysports.com Roeder plays down Shearer talk By Graeme Bailey - Created on 27 Mar 2007 　　Glenn Roeder insists he is not just keeping the Newcastle's managerial seat warm for Alan Shearer. 　　Roeder has come under increasing pressure recently after Newcastle bowed out of the Uefa Cup - their last chance of silverware this term. 　　With The Magpies sat in lower mid-table, a Uefa Cup place also looks a distant prospect. 　　However, Roeder has refuted local suggestions that Newcastle legend Shearer is ready to quit as a media pundit and return to St James' Park. 炮德带领球队的成绩有目共睹 因为连欧协盃也提早结束，有传老妖即将回来担任领队 炮德当然否认，强调他不会被老妖取代。 　　"Alan texts me before every single game wishing me all the best," said Roeder. (炮德：人家还每个礼拜为我加油呢～) 嘿嘿，话说历任主帅离队都是因为老妖发言说不爽，你还是小心点。 　　"I don't think I am just keeping the seat warm for Alan. I see myself here long term, very much so. 　　"We have mentioned Alan and I see him as my friend. He texts me with little messages and has been very supportive. 　　"As a football person he understands the problems we have had. 　　"He has endorsed that during the season at times by saying how difficult the job has been. 　　"I do not believe anyone else could have done any better. I do not believe it. (你别拿人家跟你比较好不好！) 　　"There are still eight games to go and we must finish the season on a high. No-one has been more disappointed than me by our reaction when we've gone a goal down in the last couple of games." 　　Roeder feels Newcastle's problems are entrenched ones and he will need time to overcome the deep rooted causes of why the club continue to fail. 　　"That result against Alkmaar is Newcastle," he said. 　　"Not just this season, not last season, it is the Newcastle which threw away a 12-point lead at the top of the Premiership, which you would have thought was impossible. That is Newcastle. 　　"The problem is, it has happened so often. If you go back years and years to when I was a player here and before, the fans are used to it, they expect it to happen. 　　"It's stitched into the badge. Somebody has to unstitch it and I want it to be me." Roeder also says that he should not be judged until he has also made his own mark on the current squad. 　　"Now anyone who comes in here will be my signing," he said. 　　"I am happy to be judged on Martins, Sibierski and Duff - but three signings is not my squad. 　　"If we can get another four or more, then half the squad will be mine. 　　"Get through the first couple of years - and then you're on a roll."
