... Newcastle United but was never offered the chance.
Venables has worked in the North-East before - he was joint manager of Middlesbrough with Bryan Robson in 2000/01.
Terry Venables: “When I was a manager, I always wanted to manage Newcastle United.
“Those supporters are the best in the country.
“I always thought, whether they were doing well or not, that I could get my teeth into this, that I could take them where they wanted.”
