Jimbo 133 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I think it will be Shearer, I can't say he'd be my first choice, I'm not convinced that he'd make a good manager, however he's played for some the best managers of his era, so you would hope some of it has rubbed off, of course there is every chance he would be shite.

The Fish 8977 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Just because Odds have shortened, this doesn't mean Shearer's any more likely to get the nod than he was a week ago, it just means a bunch of Geordies have backed him so the bookies have adjusted the odds accordingly. I would hope Shearer tried his hand elsewhere first, Wacky's shout for Sven is one I echo, I don't think he was given much time at city and had them playing some good football. While Ketsbaia would be entertaining, I'm not sure he's ready for the premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKev 0 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) I think it will be Shearer, I can't say he'd be my first choice, I'm not convinced that he'd make a good manager, however he's played for some the best managers of his era, so you would hope some of it has rubbed off, of course there is every chance he would be shite. That's the point. Look at the fact how many players who played for Alex Ferguson at Man Utd later were managing: Steve Bruce, Bryan Robson, Mark Hughes, Paul Ince, Roy Keane etc. Not everyone of them was doing a decent job, but they certainly were influenced by SAF. So Al deserves the chance, it's just a question of timing and where he wants to start his career. Paul Ince is the best example (MK Dons), but on the other hand there's Keano at the SOS.

Guest alex Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hughes has done alright overall, Keane has spent a canny wedge on basically just keeping Sunderland up, Ince is unproven at the top level and the other two are pretty shit. Especially Robson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie-Geordie 0 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 This time around, i think Steve Bruce is a much more attractive option. Done well in the transfer market, honest and passionate, and he's got what we need - the ability to stabilise a club, at managerial level at the very least. Whether or not he can ultimately take us to Top 6 level is another question. But we haven't had a sniff of that since the Bobby years in fairness, so i don't think that should be imperative in the selection criteria. We've got an excellent squad filled with quality players as far as i am concerned, and Bruce is good with funds at his request, he can find a bargain too. I'm dead impressed with the squad he's amassed at Wigan in fairness, and although they're not breaking records this season, they're stable and never going down. They should be higher than where they are, really. But as we know - the league's tight. Put Bruce in a big club and he'll do well in my opinion. I know, it reeks of Allardyce, but Bruce is a much better manager (and person) than him. It'd be questionable and i can imagine it'd receive a mixed opinion should it ever happen, but i wouldn't be against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19770 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 fuck me, steve bruce? has it really come to that? assuming we get a new owner in with a bit of cash, i'd give the job to a foreign coach with a bit of nous who might attract a decent player. someone like sven, deschamps, hiddink, rijkard etc. i can't see any english coaches out there that are good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 8977 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 we might not play intelligent football, but we'd certainly be aggressive and our defence would border on the paranoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
