Former England boss Sir Bobby Robson has been linked with several managerial jobs since being sacked from Newcastle United in August, but until his contract with Newcastle is settled, he will not be taking up another job.

Robson has been linked with Wolves, West Brom, Wales and Preston since leaving his St James' Park post, and has stayed involved in the game, but he explained:

Robson explained:

"I have had one or two offers, but at the moment, all I can do is wait until my contract has been paid up.

"That is progressing, and it is in the hands of the League Managers' Association.

"I recently went to Russia to cover the CSKA Moscow v Chelsea match, was there five days and utilised the time by going to Spartak Moscow and Lokomotiv Moscow and speaking to the coaches."
