Harper's Two Caps

Last updated : 12 March 2014 By Footy Mad - Editor

Steve Harper: "John's very experienced having done it all before and I'm sure he will be well briefed.

"Alan's punishment is about par, I think it could have been a little bit worse.

"John obviously knows the club inside-out and whether as a full-time manager or caretaker, he understands what to do in that role too.

"Now it's time for Newcastle to look forward. I hope it goes well this weekend [away at Fulham], both with my Newcastle and Hull caps on."
