Chairman Freddie Shepherd has publicly announced that the 71 year-old will not be given a new contract at the end of the season.
"Whatever happens in the next few months, I will give it everything I've got to make Newcastle United successful, just as I have since I came here in 1999," he said.
"Obviously I'm disappointed at the club's decision not to keep me on, but even so, I will work as diligently as I always have.
"For what it's worth, I don't agree with the club's decision not to renew my contract, but football is all about opinion and I know you have to respect other people's opinion.
"But I will not falter in the next few months and every decision I will make and everything I will do will be in the best interests of the chairman and Newcastle United Football Club.
"And if I have to leave, I can promise you the club will be in great shape when I do go."
In other news Michael Chopra is the subject of interest from Division 2 (or whatever it's called now) side Barnsley. Only time will tell whether Chopra wants to move to the Tykes, as it would be a double division drop. The England under 21 international has previously been on loan to Nottingham Forest and Watford.
