Here in The Times too Four games into his career in the dugout, Alan Shearer has taken a decision that will reverberate throughout English football — dropping Michael Owen, his close friend and former team-mate, for Newcastle United’s vital league match away to Liverpool tomorrow. Owen’s name was absent from the side posted at the club’s training ground yesterday, the Newcastle manager again tinkering with his tactics and formation in an attempt to find respite in their tussle with relegation from the Barclays Premier League. While Owen’s form has been questionable, his omission still ranks as a surprise; the two have not only played together for club and country, they also share a representative. Barring late withdrawals through injury, Shearer intends to field a five-man midfield at Anfield, where Owen made his name as a player, deploying Mark Viduka as a lone centre forward. With every point now crucial, Newcastle hope to earn a draw or better by frustrating Rafael Benítez’s team, with Owen, if required, ready to be called upon from the substitutes’ bench. When Shearer was appointed at St James’ Park last month he immediately restored Owen — who had been dropped by Chris Hughton, Newcastle’s acting manager, for their preceding home match against Arsenal — to his starting line-up. “If Michael is fit, he will start,” he said then. In the intervening four weeks, however, Newcastle, who are eighteenth and three points from safety, have not won and Owen has not scored. The 29-year-old has mustered ten goals this season, but none since January, a sequence that encompasses nine appearances in league and cup. Owen’s disappointment will be heightened by the knowledge that Fabio Capello, the England manager, is expected on Merseyside to watch the fixture against Liverpool. The forward has not played for his country since his second-half appearance as a substitute against France 13 months ago and, at present, his hopes of playing in next year’s World Cup finals — should England qualify — appear bleak. Owen’s absence may be brief, however. Fitness matters permitting, Shearer is expected to revert to a 4-3-3 formation for the home game against Middlesbrough on May 11, but whether there will be repercussions for Owen’s future on Tyneside is open to interpretation. The player’s contract expires at the end of this season and while Everton are long-time admirers of Owen, who supported the club as a boy, he has previously expressed admiration for Shearer’s foray into management. Shearer had hinted earlier yesterday that he would not be afraid to drop Owen. Asked if he believed that his captain could lead the club out of their plight, his reply was ambiguous. “If I believe he can do, then that will be reflected in the team on Sunday,” he said. “If I believe that he can’t, then that’s a decision I have to make. “But I will go in on Sunday with the team I believe will be best suited for a particular game to get us a result. You will find out my decision on Sunday.” Shearer did not dispute the contention that it would be folly to approach an away fixture against a team fighting for the title with a trio of strikers. “I have been mad in my time and I do not want to give away any formations or selections, but I tend to agree that, yeah, it might be mad to go there with three up front,” he said. Along with Viduka and Obafemi Martins, Owen spurned a glorious opportunity in Monday’s 0-0 draw with Portsmouth. “Workrate-wise with Michael, there is definitely no complaint whatsoever — he’s always in the top three or four players on the pitch,” Shearer said. “He would have hoped to put that chance away, but he didn’t. But he will not wallow in self-pity. If I do decide to drop one of the three strikers it will be a tough choice. Michael is still banging them in during training, but I want him scoring in games.”

Im scared of the humiliation

Random questions 1. I only have flat souled trainers (fashion ones) and Nike Shox running shoes for this type of surface we are playing on do i need anything more suitable . 2.The only red top in the house is my daughters High School Musical dress and it will be skin tight but i can wear shorts thankfully to protect my modesty or in other words no red top :-[ 3.Have they got breathing apparatus available

Freddie Shepherd ready to finance Shearer deal Apr 26 2009 by Neil Farrington, Sunday Sun * 1 * 2 * next FORMER Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd is willing to help finance any attempt to keep Alan Shearer at St James’s Park next season. Shepherd has been approached by several consortiums keen to buy all or part of United from current owner Mike Ashley. As a Geordie still living and working on Tyneside, Shepherd is fearful for the Magpies’ future if they are relegated. The long-time Newcastle supremo would be willing to re-invest some of the £37 million he banked from selling his stake in the club to Ashley if it would help prevent Shearer from leaving in the summer . . . And United from sinking without trace in the Championship. Shepherd told the Sunday Sun last night: “I am willing to do anything I can to help.” I understand moves are afoot by at least one Geordie entrepreneur to bring together people with the financial clout to buy all or part of United from Ashley, and ensure Shearer stays on as manager next season – whichever division Newcastle are in. Shepherd’s involvement would be essential if that group were to have any hope of taking the club forward in the long term. Shepherd has previously said Ashley’s biggest blunder during his disastrous 22 months as Newcastle owner was his failure to appoint someone with experience of day-to-day operations at a Premier League club. Although Shepherd’s own reign at St James’s Park is poorly regarded by some fans, Ashley’s regime – headed by former casino boss Derek Llambias – has overseen disaster at Gallowgate. With Tyneside’s relegation panic extending beyond their huge fanbase, local civic leaders and heads of commerce who dread the knock-on effect of Newcastle going down would welcome Shepherd’s renewed involvement in the club. Shearer himself is understood to be aware of a local group’s plans to get on board at St James’s Park, but is committing himself to nothing other than Newcastle’s survival battle. Meanwhile, Newcastle may look to bring Roddy Macdonald to St James’s Park for a THIRD spell as club doctor. Shearer confirmed controversial former Rangers doctor Ian McGuinness left the same post at Newcastle last week. Macdonald is at Aston Villa, having left United in 2007, and is highly rated by Shearer and Michael Owen.

What a terrible loss a family member R.I.P

Michael Owen modelling it before he fucks off

If you don’t shoot you can’t score - Johan Cruyff was it not malcolm macdonald that said that ? and the truth is that they didn't shoot every time, they took what they thought was the best option. i'd still love to know where this money was going to come from ? i've covered the debts of others and shown that some clubs,because of the financial position they are in are better able to accumulate and carry debt,so just saying borrow more is,at best naive, at worst,stupid. i'm open to any sensible ideas. I’d imagine quite a few people have said it over the years. The money could have come from a number of places. A share issue for example. However I think the Barclay’s would have been the most likely place. They have a vested interest in seeing the club prosper and would probably have provided a bit more funding, probably on certain conditions. As I understand it they had already insisted on board representation in exchange for a loan extension a year or two before Ashley took over. a share issue ? possible but with what happened with the previous shares....unlikely. barclays........they might have gave us a loan to keep us going (what has the shortfall been the last few years ?) but unlikely they'd have given more to "invest" when we can't come close to making ends meet as it is. (agreed barclays have a vested interest to in us doing well but they also have similar interests in lots of other companies they aren't backing right now in better financial positions) Right not, but it was different two years ago. We’ll never know what position we’d be in now if Hall and Shepherd still owned the club, there’s just no way of knowing. However we do know the club wouldn’t have had to find £45m to pay off the redevelopment loan in one go if they’d stayed, which would surely have eased the financial pressure. IMO Hall & Shepherd did a lot more good than bad. Establishing NUFC in the PL and building a stadium worthy of the support for a debt of £70m is pretty good going. They understood the club. They knew if they provided a decent team 50,000 would fill the ground. Ashley was banking on 50,000 turning up to watch total crap. Criticism of the previous owners may be valid but trying to pin the current disaster on them is way off the mark. 2 years ago was after the wages ratio started getting taking off. ask yourself, mounting debts,dodgy business plan (re outgoings in particular wages),poor on the field performance. in my opinion the banks would help keep the club going (day to day financing) but wouldn't stump up for major investment. can't actually think of a decent reason why they would.How about, if NUFC got relegated the banks would probably never get any of their money back? Didn’t Ashley extend the club’s overdraft by £10m recently? that goes for every club in relegation trouble. should the banks pay for all of them to buy more players to help them avoid relegation ? what about all those clubs who have gone under ? why didn't the banks bail them out to avoid losing their money ? more of a question is why ashley didn't spend some of his money to protect his investment as he stands to lose more than the banks would have ? if ashley did extend the overdraft it was as likely to be as a way of paying the day to day costs. How many of those clubs can guarantee 50,000 every week if the home team is half decent? This debate is one that will never be resolved, as both sides are right. There can be no doubt Shepherd faced difficulties on the money front, but no evidence that can prove the club was up s*** creek without a paddle. There’s also no doubt the club made significant progress under Hall/Shepherd. When SJH took over he made his objectives clear. NUFC should be one of the foremost clubs in the first division, playing in one of the best stadia in the country, and should make a successful return to European football. He delivered all three, and when he left we were only three decent players away from getting back into Europe. SJH had vision. Ashley doesn’t. With people chosing to cancel their season tickets because they are "boycoutting" Ashley how do you see a way forward. I am not saying that everyone who cancels their season ticket is in that position, but every single season ticket holder who has chosen to cancel because of Ashley is causing the financial ruin of Newcastle United. There are day to day bills to pay, which we are struggling to already. By cancelling Direct Debits and season tickets fans are adding to that problem. I have no problem with anyone stopping buying products from Sports Direct (as that is not directly linked to Newcastle United), but cannot support the boycotting of our own club. Unless you want to see Newcastle United go down the pan that is. Money is not a finite thing, Newcastle United under Shepherd, Hall or Ashley could not keep remortgaging to keep itself going despite what people think. Again this doesn't absolve Ashley from his mistakes but the foundations of the problem had already been laid by Shepherd and Hall. You said earlier you would gladly see fans walk away from the club, canceling their season tickets and play in a half empty stadium with true supporters. Now you say it would add to them problems... Aye, I am a female, I am allowed to be fickle. The thing is, the fans who are chosing to cancel because of Ashley might as well get themselves away. They cannot see that boycotting the club will damage it even more through their petty actions. I don't support their actions at all, but I am not going to waste my time trying to convince them to stay either. If it was possible I would love to see 50,000 hardcore, noisy, passionate fans in St James' every game, but the price of tickets has caused a lot of fans to be priced out of the game. That includes me im afraid ,28 year season ticket holder but no way of paying for it due to family etc i miss it like crazy but if other fans have the same problem and are not sure about renewing i would never call them not fans anymore but waiting for circumstances to change with a clear vision and message from the owner and his management team ,they were poked with a stick to come out and be more open and have now gone back to type so anyone not renewing has my full backing.
