Newcastle have ended Sam Allardyce's managerial reign after eight months.
The club, currently 11th in the Premier League, said the decision had been reached by "mutual agreement".

Allardyce, who was in charge for 24 games, said: "I am disappointed to be leaving Newcastle but I wish the club all the best for the future."

Former captain Alan Shearer has been strongly linked with the post but chairman Chris Mort said: "A new manager has not yet been appointed."

First-team coach Nigel Pearson will take charge of the team for Saturday's Premier League meeting with Manchester United.

Earlier on Wednesday, Allardyce had attended a news conference ahead of that game but gave no hint that his time at the club might be coming to an end.

606: DEBATE
Performances under Allardyce were the worst in living memory for Newcastle

Indeed, the 53-year-old had spoken at length about his plans for the January transfer window.

However, shortly afterwards, Newcastle announced news of his departure with a statement on their official website.

Allardyce took over in May following Glenn Roeder's resignation after eight years in charge at Bolton.

The Magpies began the season with a 2-0 win at the Reebok Stadium but he came under fire from fans unhappy with the team's style of play.

The pressure built with a run of three straight league defeats over the festive period - although midfielder Nicky Butt was among those who urged the club to keep faith with Allardyce.

His last game in charge was a 0-0 draw at Championship Stoke in the FA Cup third round on Sunday.

He becomes the eighth Premier League managerial casualty this season, leaving with a record of won 8, drew 6, lost 10.

Since Kevin Keegan left 11 years ago, six permanent managers have now come and gone at St James' Park.

Managers really dont get long these days to impress do they?

You really have to love BBC's research department.

Has he blamed the linesman yet?

The Championship should be fun... Group: Admin Posts: 6,442 Member No.: 221 Joined: 26-March 05	I'm actually shocked he's gone, even for Newcastle this is pretty stupid. I think I'd have liked to see him last till the season, and see how he did in the long run. Also sickened at how it was done, he found out from a journalist ffs. Totally disrespectful. Shearer's ruled himself out, Redknapp favourite. I'll take him

Souness, Allardyce... now Redknapp? Seems to be a trend emerging.

You were linked with Nolan, weren't you? That might have been what did it.
