Magpies boss backs Sven to stay
Reports have suggested that the former England boss is set to quit his role as director of football amid rumours that the club is for sale.[LNB]But Backe, appointed by Eriksson in late October, believes the task facing his fellow Swede at Meadow Lane is too challenging to walk away from.[LNB]"This has been the biggest challenge for him - to build a team from League Two and take it forward - so I don't think Sven will leave," Backe told Sky Sports News.[LNB]Backe also feels that proposed new owners will not affect his position at the club or have an impact on the field.[LNB]He added: "If something happens then we will have to wait and see. If new owners are coming in then we will have to see what happens. It was only this morning that I have seen headlines since I have been involved and if you look at the players and the way they train I don't think it has affected them."[LNB][LNB]
