Venables turned off Newcastle job by 'uncertainty'
Terry Venables has revealed the reason he turned down the chance to become Newcastle’s interim manager, insisting the club “means too much to too many people” to agree to a match-by-match deal.
Venables emerged yesterday as the surprise favourite to be handed the reigns at St James’ Park and while the well-travelled coach admits he had talks with the Magpies, he was not prepared to sink himself into a job he could be relieved of at any time.
