Isegrim 8868 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 For Hitzfeld I say again that he most likely won't take a job until after the World Cup. I still think that Newcastle would stand a decent chance as long as the ManUre job isn't up for grabs. My sensible scenario would be the following (if only I were in charge). Hitzfeld's long term assistant Michael Henke just got sacked at his first job where he was in charge of a team. Offer Hitzfeld to take over at the end of the season and so long stay in a general director role. Let his assistant take over the training alongside and the likes of Shearer and Roeder... Anyway, I think there are more sensible options. After the end of the World Cup qualifications managers like Morten Olsen are probably available, who I think could do a good job as well... and many more decent managers if you look beyond the river bank of the Tyne...

Bombadil 0 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Guus Hiddink should be approached as well. I read an interview with him some time ago where he said that he wanted to manage in England at some stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 2929 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) What is Hiddink's contract situation with the aussies? Is it a part-time role? 63561[/snapback] Initially it was up to the qualifiers with a retainer if they qualified. Since qualifying it is still part-time/shared him with PSV but he has been given funds to hire more coaches/advisers/staff who will be full-time for the Australian team. Supposedly getting Australia through the qualifiers earnt him a A$1m bonus plus additional funds for staff of around A$5-6m. And if he can get the team to the round of 16 he's been promised Tasmania!

Bombadil 0 Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 One of the things that gets me most about the whole situation is the way Shearer seems to rapidly be losing his rightful status as a club legend. A couple of years ago we were saying what a shame it would be if he didn't end his career here with a trophy - today I'm afraid we would all be happy for him to retire now so that people will at least remember him in a positive way, never mind winning a trophy... If only he had stuck to his decision last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Im concerned bow out gracefully and keep that status he so rightly earned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck if he can get Australia to the final then he gets my vote for King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeazesMag 0 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I reckon he'll be here til the end of the season with Shearer taking over, unless Shepherd can talk Shearer into taking over before then. 63259[/snapback] Agree.

LeazesMag 0 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 I want GS out, infact i never wanted him 'in' He's an average manager at best , nothing special with practically no man management skills. always thought it and i'll never change my mind. But do we really want Shearer to take over yet? I adore Shearer, he's a legend, infact, my absolute hero and because of this i dont want him to take over such a massive job with no real experience....i cant bear to think of the consequences if it all went wrong So though my heart would love to see BigAl at the helm my head says no, not yet. 63264[/snapback] not having a replacement to replace the wrong man, is no reason for keeping the wrong man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Fat Fred has to take his British manager obsession and stick it up his big hairy arse. He needs to forget getting his fingers burned off Gullit and show some balls. Go for the best candidate, not the most available British one. 63299[/snapback] first hand info like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
