I feel a little better after reading this, but will be far happier when the FA find a non-YBR head coach.
From today's Ronnie:
However Wadsworth, a former England youth coach when Robson was in charge, told me today: "Bobby is more than happy with the job he's got here and he will not do anything without the chairman's permission.

"We're all under contract with Newcastle and delighted to be so. I don't know what the FA will decide to do.

"Both Bobby and myself are fairly united in thinking that Terry Venables is the man for the job, and if it is not him I am sure the boss could be of help in selecting or bridging a gap if necessary.

"But the boss is a man of honour. He has never broken a contract in his life and I don't think he will leave Newcastle United.

"This was his dream job. He's done the England job and he did it very well in my view.

"He said Newcastle United would be his last job and I'm sure he will stick to this - hopefully for many years to come."

"A former England Youth coach when Bobby was in charge."

Not much is said about Wadsworth and his role in developing out team, but he must have an abundance of experience and coulc prove invaluable when Bobby decides enough is enough.

Good to hear his comments about Bobby.

Didn't Wadsworth build a fairly classy side at Carlisle before Knighton came in, sold them all and built a nice new stand (with Alien landing strip)?

Dunno Scratchy, but I wouldn't mind seeing a bio of his career so far, how old is he?

Did a bit of a search and found this.

WADSWORTH, Mick Mick Wadsworth made his managerial mark at Carlisle United before Gary Megson asked him to become Assistant Manager at Carrow Road in the early part of 1996. When Megson was replaced by Mike Walker the following June, Mick moved on to manage Third Division Scarborough. He was apparently 45 minutes away from being sacked on Saturday 5th October but Scarborough came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Cambridge with a spirited second half. However if Mick is sacked, it is highly likely that he will return to Carlisle as he has kept in close contact with his friend, chairman Michael Kinghton. On 28th January 1999, Mick quit as Scarborough boss to take over the vacant manager's seat at Second Division strugglers Colchester United. One of his rivals for the post was Mike Walker. Mick has spent some of his summer helping former Bradford City star Cec Podd with coaching the national team of St Kitts. Colchester's relatively poor start to the 1999/2000 season saw Mick quit as the U's boss on 25th August 1999 to be replaced by his assistant Steve Whitton. After a brief spell helping Steve Coppell at Crystal Palace, the Sun reported on 10th September 1999 that Mick would return to his native North East to join new Newcastle manager Bobby Robson as first team coach.

Carlisle were flying at the time - they had the 10 year plan to get to the Premiership, nice stand came first and now they just look forward to the last day of the season.

He's probably next in line when Uncle Bobby goes.

Phew That's reassuring too hear.

I have to say, the Colchester United fans hate him the same way we hate Dalglish: for them, death by torture is too good for him. One of them actually predicted that if we let him anywhere near our first team we'd end up in the first division.
