Scottish Mag

I was arguing with some tosser two rows behind me that was calling Kenny Miller a dirty fenian bastard during the Derby match. Its not only in Glasgow that you get bigots...

A few years ago everyone was saying the same about MON. Do you honestly think the Glazers will employ him rather than a proven top class winner.

Agreed

Any of it by the looks of it, at least we're looking at better options which is just as important. Are we though or is it just paper talk?

Yep just look at this inspirational video... http://www.soccercircus.com/

yes i can confirm you've just had a text saying keegan was at St James's now. Source? You.

Aye I agree. I thought he came across pretty well.

They lifted the wrong one, they had left their Hitzfeld one at home...

They do that nearly every fucking season

Whilst no one can question Shearers on passion and commitment on the park I do not think he was a great leader in the slightest. IMO he wasnt a great captain or communicator, with Speed often taking on the role of unofficial captain.

Top post Seconded A lot of people on here are saying no to Shearer because of his inexperience. I personally think this could be his advantage. He will be far more open to changing his ideas if he has to as he will not have a tried and tested formula. People forget that he got us into europe a couple of seasons ago. I know, that was Roeder, but if you are honestly telling me that it wasn't Shearers influence as no.2 and it was Roeders leadership skills i think i might find you funnier than Joey Bartons headdoctors namesake. The money and prestige that Shearer will bring in will make Ashley far more likely to open his wallet, and i honestly think Big Al will have a good eye for talent. Remember Keegan came with no experience, he lifted the place with his aura which the players fed off, and it will be the same for Shearer. Every player will be that 20% better than they have ever been. I am a realist and believe we have no chance of appointing Mourinho, so give Shearer the chance People want to believe that it was Shearer but its much more likely that Tommy Craig was the key man in the set up. Was that not the reason he was pissed off and left when they tried to demote him back to the reserves...

http://loerrach-zeitung.de/artikelhitz.html Hitzfeld interested??

You being a jock mag should know about the impact some rookie managers can make: Kenny D @ Liverpool Souey @ Rangers Keegan @ Newcastle Some being the key word there. For everyone of them there is a Stuart Pearce or John Barnes. Would you honestly be happy if it was any other "rookie" (Beardsley, Gazza, Speed) or is it just because it is "Shearer"? *Oh and Souness was lucky to manage a big spending Rangers side when no other team in Scotland has any money nor were they any good*

Dogleash acting as the wise old head to a young manager who's first job is gaffer at a well supported club it has been done before with devastating effect. But what does that matter its "Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeera" we are talking about.... Someone mentioned Dalglish as his assistant Was tongue in cheek mate. I am gobsmacked by the number of people who would be happy with Shearer in charge. I find it astonishing that the forums have been full of people whining and bitching all day about not getting the likes of Mourinho and Lippi to getting excited about someone with no experience of coaching (with the exception of standing in a dug out on match days in Roeders run) and managing. If it was any other person with no coaching or managerial experience Tyneside would be up in arms but no its "Sheeeeeeeera!!!" so somehow its acceptable.... Agree with this. Because he "loves the club" has no baring on whether he'd be good for us or not. When Ferguson leaves Man Utd do you think they'd be happy with Ince (who does have a bit of experience) because "he loves the club"? But we aren't Man Utd! Of the options realistically available I think Shearer would be the most exciting. Keegan had no managerial experience and did okay! Also, those saying he looks like a numpty on MOTD are right, but then they all do. I think there has been some kind of BBC directive to be as dull as possible after the FA started taking coverage away from them when they were perceived as too negative about England when they actually said f*** all. Even Hansen, who I used to think was incredibly knowledgeable and a great pundit, is now w***. I don't think it's because they're lazy, i think it's because they are told to be (with the exception of wright, who is a moron) Based on what?

Dogleash acting as the wise old head to a young manager who's first job is gaffer at a well supported club it has been done before with devastating effect. Someone like Dalglish or Keegan working alongside Shearer and I might go along with it. The time to worry is if he brings in his cronies like Lee & Speed who also have no experience. REMEMBER HOW GOOD A MENTOR KENNY DEE WAS TO JOHN BARNES!!! WE MUST STAY WELL CLEAR OF KENNY OR THIS KENNY WILL KILL US, THE b******. That was more down to the sh*teness of Barnes Barnes was s*** but I think Kenny was meant to help him out as DOF,mentor or whatever he was & it was Kenny who took Terry Mac to Celtic ffs. Where he done fuck all too. And the talk was that his actual role was "Social Convenor"

sod understanding the fans. I want a winner!

Not sure how I'd feel about this, what kind of experience does he have of top flight football? I'm aware that he brought Juventus back into Serie A but he left to be replaced by Ranieri didn't he? Taking Monaco to a champions league final not "top flight" enough for you?

Akabusi reckons its a done deal...

Yes and Jose is a bit too....Portugese and Lippi a bit too...Italian. Get Sheeeera in now! I don't care where the new manager comes from as long as he wins matches..

His wife loves the lifestyle apparently. What? She likes being rich? Never. No, she likes hanging around with really famous people. Where you getting the info from straight from Harrys missus or your copy of Heat magazine?

For 2007/08 see N'Zogbia, Charles. He couldn't lace any of their boots...

(If true) It would perhaps explain why we went through with the Tozer deal as Pompey were one of the other teams competing for his signature...

Someone(s) of Skunkers. I can't belive this can be true. If it is Ashley clearly hasn't thought through the Sammy Dice sacking and this is him just panicking and phoning his mates with blank cheque books. Dissapointing if true. Sounds like a betting scam to me... *laughs* However I've heard a lot of good things about Joe Jordan as a coach. Aye thats who I wanted to either get the Scotland job or be involved with the set up...
