Under-pressure
Newcastle United boss Graeme Souness insists he still has the backing of Freddy Shepherd.
Souness' position has been the subject of intense speculation in the last few days after fans called for his head following Saturday's 1-0 defeat to
Blackburn Rovers.
The Scot held talks with Shepherd on Monday and he is adamant that it was no crisis meeting.
"I popped into the stadium for a cup of coffee and a brief chat with the chairman," Souness told The Times.
"It was all very amicable. We spoke about the match on Saturday and he told me he was supportive of me and behind me. It was all very positive and upbeat. I'm absolutely fine."
