Jackies the Lad 0 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 i dunno how shearer will do as a manager of Newcastle, and frankly I'd think he'd be mental to go anywhere near it. But in saying that he give many years to the club when he could have easily went to the likes of man.u and picked up a load of trophies, but he was loyal to the club he also supports. Will he be a good manager... god knows, but if he thinks he can do the job fair enough, and we can't argue that we have dont have someone in charge who doesn't understand the fans and the club etc. I agree I also think he would be crazy to take on the job of manager. He currently has "legend" "hero" status bestowed on him by the Toon Army, there is no guarantee that Shearer will be successful, what if he totally makes a bollocks of the job? Would his status disappear, how would the Toon Army react? Badly I suspect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut 9 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I don't think Shearer spent 2-3 years of his life getting his coaching qualifications to sit alongside Hansen & Lineker for the next 20 years. I reckon if the circumstances are right, he'd take the job in a heartbeat. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13840 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I want something unquestionable to be honest - A simple structure not in the newspaper every day - but we will be lucky to get that with Newcastle. I think Aston Villa's structure is fairly decent and I would settle for something similar. You mean something that most clubs have? Hardly. Not many clubs who don't have endless funds trust the manager to spend heavily. But to be honest I would settle for something most clubs have rather than an emotionally torturing, dragged out circus of a club performance. The structure and a team's transfer budget are two completely different things iyam. Ashley's plan had the two working in tandem, or at least that was the plan. He didn't want to overspend and the structure was adjusted accordingly, the money was there, £50m wouldn't have been to much of a hassle to shift for Ashley but he aimed to get things done as cheaply as possible and brought in three people to help get that done.

Ashley's plan was for us to be like Tottenham like, definitely not the Arsenal model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyshinton 59 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I'm still not convinced he'll take the job if offered tbh. I think he might make a good manager but nothing's ever guaranteed in life. If City go for Mourinho next year, Mark Hughes would be a smart choice as well. Tell me you are kidding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big TRon 0 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I'm still not convinced he'll take the job if offered tbh. Shearer will only take the job on the condition that there are significant funds for transfers available imo. I would think anyone serious enought to offer Shearer the job would give significant funding to start with at least. As for O-Nut's point about him taking his coaching badges to go into management, I'm sure that was an option he's always considered. He does seem very happy with the life he's got right now though, I suppose we'll find out how much he really wants the job if the offer comes.

AmericanMag 0 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Mark Hughes would be temporary, wouldn't he? Some say he is the next in line to take over at Old Trafford when Ferguson steps down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love it if this deadline where JFK's contract runs out is significant in the sense that Big Al comes in a replaces him. He would proved a boost to our chances of the club being sold tenfold. And would lift players and staff alike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13840 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I think it might be a reaction to a recent Rob Lee interview as opposed to ''sources''. I think right now I would settle for Shearer, he would certainly get the players putting the effort in and he could probably attract some good players/coaches.

I think right now I would settle for Shearer, he would certainly get the players putting the effort in and he could probably attract some good players/coaches. Your right about the interview as he done a taklk in didnt he? But my mate had spoke to rob "apparently" a few days previous. As far as AS bringing in quality coaches, id love to see him tempt ferdy from the spuds even though he's just went there, bring in speedo and rob lee himself. And get Phiiilleeeep Phillip Abert to jump on a treadmil and come and coach our defence. Haha...id love to see it though EDIT: Is pedro still at the club? It'dbe class promoting him to one of our 1st team coaches too! Martins mite learn a thing or two! Edited November 18, 2008 by Geordie Lad...

acrossthepond 703 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Nothing in this. Shearer blindfolded and falling down drunk would be a better manager than Joke Kinnear though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbsweeney 0 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Are we to believe the rumours about Bruce? Anyway, why is there all this talk about a new manager. It's not like it's certain that Kinnear is leaving, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasepud 59 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 To be fair that article is all speculation based on an interview with Lee. There is no way on this earth that Shearer would work under Ashley, that has already been written in stone by the man himself. I do think Lee knows what hes talking about but frankly any of us could have said the same things, its no secret at all that Al wants to manage us sometime. This article is intended to put a stake in the ground for any prospective new owners to say "Im here, come and get me" not for Ashley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
