Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley insists the next managerial appointment won't be made by him.

Ashley says all football matters are left to Lee Charnley.

"It's Lee Charnley and the football board that make those decisions, as it was Derek Llambias who brought in Alan Pardew. I will not be picking the next manager. It's not what I do.

"My job is to make sure they have the maximum amount of financial resources and it's their job to get the best pound-for-pound value out of those resources.

"To be categorically clear, I'm not going anywhere until we win something."
