Guest Sima Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Heard that. Shepherd is an absolute wanker. Hopefully they'll put it at a part of the ground I don't have to walk past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInspiration 1 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Ah, so that is why they've gone for the cheap option manager-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sima Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Jackie Milburn won trophies with the club and scored a bucketload of goals and he didn't get one until he passed on. While I appreciate Shearer's contribution to the team in the past, I subscribe to the school of thought that his time at the club over the past 2-3 years has restricted the club somewhat in moving forward. Yes, he is the record goalscorer but at times it has been to the detriment of the bigger picture of progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26173 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Its been said before and I agree with it; you can't put up a statue of someone who is a. still alive and b. likely to be manager in the future. More evidence that Shepherd believes Shearer is NUFC. I hope Shearer puts a stop to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeazesMag 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Maybe he has held us back. We'll soon find out. Haddaway and shite for knocking him though, because we'll not see his like again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6287 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I personally don't think it's right that Ipswich created one for SBR as he's still alive so I don't agree with this one for Shearer.... Not taking anything away from the man - he's been an absolute legend but save it for later Freddie... What was the announcement which was gonna be made after the match then? Shepherd said he was leaving it for Alan to tell us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaser 1053 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I think Freddie got caught like a rabbit in the headlights in front of the cams. Even got booed - bet he didnt like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 133 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Absolutely daft to put it up when he clearly has ambitions to manage the club in addition to the fact that his playing career has only just ended and he's still alive. As an aside, I think the location of the Milburn statue is shameful and would be much better placed closer to the ground. 135140[/snapback] Agreed, it deserves to be in as prime a location as Shearer's, if not more-so.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Piss poor decision if true. As has been said, we should be sorting out moving Milburns statue back to SJP before we think about erecting any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Shearer statue, frankly it's an embarassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I fear it's only being moved because they're going to start redeveloping around the brewary so this decision has probably been forced upon the club. Cynical hat on.

Guest alex Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 (edited) Jackie Milburn won trophies with the club and scored a bucketload of goals and he didn't get one until he passed on.

Yes, he is the record goalscorer but at times it has been to the detriment of the bigger picture of progress. 135097[/snapback] That's spot on in my view. Plus, now isn't the time to decide about him getting a statue, especially given he is bound to be a future manager. A similar example is that of Robson getting a statue at Ipswich. It was well after he had left the club (20-odd years) that they put one up for him. Shepherd's got a severe case of Shearer Hysteria.

He has been our top scorer for 10 years, including this year, where admittedly he has been too slow. But what does that say about our other strikers? Well, now we'll see. No doubt Sima will be looking forward to a much improved Newcastle side next year, but personally I think we'll go into major decline. You always know what you've got 'til it's gone as they say.
