Allardyce out!

[Jambooboo]

Apparently Shearer isn't up for it.

Other names linked with the job include Martin Jol, Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klinsmann, Marcello Lippi and former England boss Steve McClaren.

Why the fuck would any of them be interested in the Newcastle job - even McClown wouldn't be that stupid.

 

[zoltan]

Sheer short-sighted idiocy on the part of Newcastle's owners.

I can't think who it's going to be to replace Sam, and as long as it's not Martin O'Neill I don't really care because they deserve to regret this decision. I hear that Ruud Gullit might be interested.

I think Shearer will bomb as a manager if he takes over, no matter who is helping him. If he wants to be a manager, he should learn his trade in the lower leagues first like the vast majority of great managers have.

Hugehes with Shearer in some assistant role to earn his stripes

I dont want shearer, but hes financial gold for a club even now

 

[mrkikiet]

apparently its hughes.

 

[zoltan]

no , its going to be geordie hero steve bruce

*LAUGHS MANICALLY*

*loses plot*

If Hughes did want the job I doubt he'd do it with Shearer as assistant.

For that to work I think you'd need someone older who'll retire in a couple of years anyway, who won't mind the next manager being lined up.

valid point - Shearer will be a bit of an albatross around any managers enck, lurking in the backgound & plotting away

that twat fucked up SBR

never forgive hime for that

 

[zoltan]

Please Please Please Not Shearer.

Il could tell stories about Wor Alan that would make yer hair curl, but it would probably get me sued.

No Alan Shearer

 

[nino_savatte]

What is it about NUFC, eh? What is it?

 

[CherryRipe]

Sheer short-sighted idiocy on the part of Newcastle's owners.

Can you actually say why you think this ?

What was it during his time at Newcastle that has led you to believe he was taking the club in the right direction?

His transfers? His style of play? His results? Team selection?

 

[Stanley Edwards]

So obviously Shearer under the careful guidance of good ole Bobby.

It could actually work.

Man, itsgot to be mourinho, i got a feeling Ashley has been talking to some managers and already has someone in place. Don't forget though, it wasn't the current chairman who appointed sam, so that may have something to do with it.

nah

apparently hes " british"

(Its Hughes)

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Wouldnt be a bad choice, but sitll don't seeit working out. There's only a few managers atm that could turn us around imo..Mourinho, O'neill, Moyes.

And Sven. You're more likely to get Pearce though

Pearce and Shearer with Seaman as goalkeeping coach.

 

[TrippyLondoner]

That would suck. Sven can go fuckhimself, we dont have £150m for him to spend so he wouldn't survive.

 

[Orangesanlemons]

Lol! SURELY not Harry Redknapp ffs!

(trading at 1/2 on Betfair right now, Shearer next at 10/1)

 

[Gmart]

Graham Souness!!

He's really rubbish, but he talks about being strong and rough and that always impresses chairman

 

[zoltan]

(trading at 1/2 on Betfair right now, Shearer next at 10/1)

nah - the odds are dictated eventually by the punters banging cash onto them - and what do the punters know

 

[zoltan]

Shearer as a manger would be very similar to Souness I think maybe a bit less violent.

Sopuness refused to talk to Laurent Robert when he arrived - I know RObert was a bit arsey, but was utterly mercurial when he was in the right frame of mind - bullyin g didnt work

=end of Roberts NUFC career

ditto Bellamy.

 

[Orangesanlemons]

nah - the odds are dictated eventually by the punters banging cash onto them - and what do the punters know

Yeah, but it's what Harry and his family know that worries me iyswim.
Not that Harry knows what a computer is, or how to use Betfair, ohhhhhh no...

willie Mackey the agent
The Shepherds

what connects these people ?

what did the panorama bung prog ( edited to fuck cos of legal advice ) leave out concerning a city in the NE of England...if anything

I am saying nothing, I will let you fill in the blanks - assuming you feel there is soemthing to fill in of course -legally, I am saying nothing that would get me into trouble

*I must state for the record that there is no indication of any wrongdoing whatsoever by these people at any level. please be aware that any conclusion you may come to is not the intention of this poster.Further, I firmly beleive that the scurrilous romour and heresy surrounding thes names is probabaly fallacious and not based on any evidence in the public domain in any situation.*

 

[xenon]

Think Shera's ruled himself out.

What about Martin Joll.?

 

[Dr. Furface]

Jol would be perfect for the Toon - only really thinks about attacking, just like wot them Geordies appreciate. He won nothing for Spurs and he'd win nothing for them either. Give him the job!

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

What a lunatic football club - if they're not appointing the wrong men (Souness, Roeder) and sticking with them, they're appointing the right one and sacking him.

I say it every single time . . . you couldn't make it up. Extraordinary.

Sounds not entirely unlike a certain north London club i could think of

 

[twistedAM]

That would suck. Sven can go fuckhimself, we dont have £150m for him to spend so he wouldn't survive.

You wish. He spent just a little more than BSA and £6 mill of that has been on the injured list and another £8 mill can't find decent pasta in Manchester. He's done well though. How you lot would cream yourselves over watching a Petrov or an Elano not to mention the five or six Academy players getting a decent runout...and doing the business.

Pearce was alright. He bought Joe Hart (and, err, Samaras).

Actually, why not give Sammy Lee a chance???

 

[Sunray]

This can all be levelled at him, true, but there are plenty of managers who did the same and took a while to get going, including him at Bolton and most famously Fergie, who was about to get the sack.

24 or so games isn't enough time for a manager to start to impose his will. This is especially true if the players aren't on form at the time, people forget that the form of a team can come and go, sometimes for no obvious reason.

I understand where you are coming from but I still haven't heard anybody on here or in the press actually come out and say why Newcastle should have continued on with him other than he did OK at Bolton.

Nobody has said he's a tactical genius, a spotter of great talent, a good coach or adept in the transfer market. What is it about him that makes people think Newcastle should have kept him ?

As far as I can see he spent 8 months at Newcastle and the majority of fans think it's the worst football we've played under any recent manager. Even the results we have had have masked the fact that those performances have also been shit. (late goals or against the run of play).

I and most Newcastle fans have no problem sticking with a manager if he's taking us in the right direction - Big Sam wasn't taking us anywhere.

I have no illusions about us being a top 6 club, I'm not even bothered about that. What I would like to see is at least an attempt to play football - all Sam is about is nullify the opposition, press etc etc. It's shit and the fans know it's shit.

actually I agree with all that, Big Sam has proven himself at fuck all beyond turning some respectable results against better sides by shutting their game down, there is no evidence he can inspire the best from top class footballers. I still think it's stupid bringing a manager in only to sack him half way through a season, they clearly knew they wouldn't be getting total fucking football when they took him on in the first place, no?

check out when the takeover took place and who appointed Big Sam and you may well have your answer.
