Craig 6302 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Fucking ridiculous to make someone the captain on the basis that they're born in the region. I love the way they use Alan Shearer as an example of when it worked. You don't have to look further than Kevin Scott for an example when it didn't! Taylor is NOT the right man to take the captaincy at this point in time, we're at a position of change, we need a strong leader to wear the captain's armband - Taylor is neither mature or experienced enough at the moment.

I love the way they use Alan Shearer as an example of when it worked. Was Shearer such a great captain ? It always struck me that his were the first shoulders to drop when goings got tough.

toontoasey 0 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Owen to be captain would be a good move in my opinion, leading from the front like shearer did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@yourservice 67 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Barton has the mouth to be captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26300 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Barton has the mouth to be captain As much as I think he is a complete prick Barton would be the one who would lead by example in terms of effort and application, unfortunately his aforementioned tendency to be a prick is a down side.

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Barton would be my choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Barton would be a good choice, but he's a twat. As has been mentioned. Also, I'm not sure he's good enough to consistently keep his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the way they use Alan Shearer as an example of when it worked. Was Shearer such a great captain ? It always struck me that his were the first shoulders to drop when goings got tough. Harsh. Id never have said first to drop like, not when you had the likes of Dyer, Robert etc who would simply vanish. This said, on Taylor Im not so sure. Its not age or ability as a good leader doesnt need either. Someone to lift the team and pushg them through tough games. Mind, ability does have a slight impact in tat if they aint good enough they shouldnt play. this is where I think Taylor may be an issue. Not that he aint good enough, far from it as I do think he is getting better each year, just that as mentioned, for right now, we need another CH meaning he may not always start.

Geordie Boyo 23 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I'd say Owen, Taylor, Viduka or Barton up to now. BS did hint though saying Barton wont be captain...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelie 103 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Newcastle’s hierarchy are delighted at the prospect of a return to the days of a Geordie skipper, with Taylor set to follow in the footsteps of Alan Shearer. Fact is though he wasn't born a Geordie he was born in Greenwich which is Thamesside not Tyneside but I reckon a Geordie by choice is as good as a Geordie who didn't have a choice.
