We need someone in fast, we need players. Shame Fred is going to tie up a deal with the spuds, GH could maybe of tempted him up here.

Stupid comment tbh. Won't demand anymore than £4m for him? Get real.

They were never on it mate. Good response from the board though. Been listening to SBR, good man.

I thought he was in England today doing training (ironically Allardyce is doing the same thing)~?

Hope so. Probably not though.

I've been getting wrong as well (at home). Thankfully i've got this week off, i'm officially stuck to my chair atm.

You're going a bit overboard TT. All the report says was that we have held informal talks with Houillier, as we have with other candidates. The Shearer thing is coming from Anal, with the Houillier camp saying they would be happy to work with him. It's all ifs at the minute. We don't know anymore today than we did yesterday. Have i said it was a done deal? No. All i was pointing out was there was no DOF mentioned since people were talking about it and my original thoughts were that last year which i quoted. Not going over board at all, talking about the possibility, you are reading more into my comments than i am reading into SSN's tbh. Fair play. I guess I was. I am excited though, its spilling over since i've wanted something like this for a few weeks. I'd be delighted if it were to be announced.

I would be fine with that. What bothered me was all this Shearer (on his own) as manager lark. Houllier is a bit of an old codger and his indepth knowledge should top up Shearer's clueless bonce. Its perfect, even the two styles should blend together nicely. The KK/AS combo had a major problem, i just felt there wasn't too much KK could offer to the equation for Shearer, however what KK could do for the fans is unmeasurable. This works a lot better imo.

Houllier for the managers job and Shearer for assistant, no DOF role from what i gather.

See, I am all for the unspectacular rebuilding of the club. But that's what Big Sam would have done eventually!! and look how the fans turned on him. What I'm saying is, if we were a no mark club like Pompey or Boro or what not, then Houllier would definitely be an astute appointment to steady the ship. We're not!! We're f****** Newcastle United! Nothing here is that simple. We're in the media as much as any of the top 4, and more in some cases. We need as much character in the dugout as we can get. It's our only hope. Can you imagine the crisis the media would invent should Houllier's first 10 games be uninspiring? Crisis at the toon and all that s*** from SSN! The mongs amongst us would be out in force against the manager again, and we're back to square one! But with Shearer in there as well, time will be given. Its win win imo. Exactly!!! But only if Shearer is number 1. Only if he's the top dog, with Houllier working in the background. Its more likely Shearer will be assistant according to those reports, but it doesn't really matter, what matters is the package. Shearer will be the most active assistant in the prem in this combo since he's being groomed for the job. Everything Shearer is missing, GH has. This appointment will be legendary imo.

Come on!! You think it's Shearer? Both of them, not sure which way its going to be titled, but it sounds very promising according to sky. Best we could realistically go for imo.

Come on!!

Tbh, that was my shout some days ago, i'd be delighted if it happened.

Shearer & Houillier is what Shearer wants, Houillier wants job as well according to SSN's

The guy interviewing Shearer sounded like a right novice cock end.

12 pages longer than his book then.

Did he seriously say that?? He said some serious news tbh. It better not just be that the FFF will allow GH to leave or that GH is in England for a training day.

Don't personally care for the guy but glad to hear his family are ok, especially with all the robbings going on down there.

Its the chance you take doing something so drastic as bringing back KK, but could Hughes turn this around? Could Houillier? Anything above that quality just isn't going to happen, and for me Hughes is the best British candidate, and Houillier the best realistic foreign candidate for me, yet i think both would struggle, and both don't play the football Ashley is possibly looking for. KK/AS combo is probably the safest option, two men that love the club, love attacking football and would strive to achieve happiness for the fans. With money they could possibly be a real force, a few heads that have dropped would certainly pick back up, ie Owen, Given, Taylor, and the likes of Barton would be rejuvenated with such characters looking after him. Im not sure how the players would react to anyone else right now, i just know the madness of the whole situation would sweep them up and they couldn't do anything else but buzz from the appointments as like it or not, the majority of the City (not just NUFC fans) want this to happen. I have deep reservations on whether football has changed too much for KK, if Shearer has enough talent and whether we can get both men in, as for me one or the other is pointless, and i'm letting my heart rule my head when i say this, but i feel its time for a few ghosts to be laid to rest, time to breathe life into this dying club, and bring back some of the best moments we've ever had. Sentimental, but i think i'm ready and willing to accept the appointment now, i wasn't yesterday or even this morning, but it makes too much sense if its done correctly to let it pass by.

By the way TT, it wasn't a thread to feel sorry for ourselves, it (in my view) was to vent my frustrations, and insult the writers. Thats all.
