Given: It’s a new eraNewcastle United goalkeeper Shay Given is hoping new boss Sam Allardyce can replicate the success he has had at Bolton now that he is charge at St James’ Park.
Given told the official Newcastle United website: "The job Sam Allardyce did at Bolton was fantastic and hopefully he can do the same with us and get this massive club moving forward again,"
"It has been such a long time since we won a trophy and the new manager will know the pressure that he will be under from day one.
"It is a new era again, and it is a new start. It is up to every single player to impress the new manager. The players have got to perform for him.
"We have had a poor season, there's no getting away from that. It has been disappointing and we have got to improve.
"It is frustrating that we have not had a manager that has been able to guide us to a trophy in the 10 years that I have been here, but hopefully they have got the right person in now to move the club forward."
