Yes, how dare he walk home in a public place and have a camera and microphone shoved in his face. The fucking cheek of the man. How Sky could call that an Interview I will never know.

Just caught the end of it tonight. Hansen patting the seat next to him when saying Shearer would be with them tomorrow night. Do they really expect him to come out and ask for an interview in front of them ?

I was very sceptical about the bookies odds and the papers reporting of Redknapp but eventually there was something in it. I am guessing that some kind of conversation has taken place with him and/or his advisors, its probably the level of those talks that are being expanded out of proportion

I did smile at SSN's "Exclusive" interview with Keegan..... i.e. chasing the poor bloke through an airport arrivals gate asking him questions

was nice while it lasted. What about his quotes though? the quotes saying "no approach"? by tomorrow the chase will probably have moved on to pastures new. His agent might think that Xavier is a total knob though, so deliberately threw him off the scent to make him look a fool (probably because he knew he would go on every radio station conceivable and blab about it) Hard to know what to believe nowadays

Nowt wrong with that though. The chairman doing a great job of providing the fans with an insight into their thought process. Good read imo. Communication. Vital part of the whole process. Another thing that let Sam down in the fact that he didnt let the fans know what his thought processes were with his team selections. Good move by Mort.

There's no quotes. None here either to be fair. I think everyone realised that was far too short-sighted to be true though. Can't decide if I'm still excited by all this, more anxious now. Massive decision. I am very nervous.

Honestly.. is there a queue of people all wanting to add their bit to this story. You would have thought the likes of Roeder would have kept a very low profile when offering advice on how to succeed at this job when he obviously had no clue whatsoever.

What happened to "He must be British" ?

If a manager shows signs of improvement he'll get time. First full season he finished 6th and then sold his best player at the time. sadly "signs of improvement" and finishing 6th won't appease some of our fans. Are you joking? Give the fans more credit than that. I agree. I think most, if not all fans would have been happy this year just to see some obvious improvement from the Roders months. In the summer, even UEFA wasnt an expectation. For me, 9th, 10th would have been a reasonable start to the Sam years. Sam failed because every thing that he did pointed to detrioration and things getting worse.

Better than normal though, he reminds me of http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/4804/skullcrossbones05pc5.th.jpg

but as said above, wont get anywhere near as much criticism from the press and other fans - if any at all

One of the major things that needs to be improved upon is the atmosphere inside SJP on match days. Appointing Hughes would generate a fair bit of ovious apathy about the place. Bringing Keegan back, maybe with Shearer is the only appointment that is guaranteed to get that feel good factor back. There is way too much negativity about the place at the minute and I think we need a quick fix

I remember when Hughes first went there, Blackburn used to kick the living fuck out of anything that moved

Fucking Hell he didnt look well there on SSN.

Realistically, its Keegan/Shearer. Ashley will get swooped up in the whole wave of nostalgia

All those points in your sig there NM, thats what I want the papers, the TV, the Radio and the fans of all the country's other clubs that write and phone in, to try and explain away. I shall be waiting a long time I think

Oh Brummie. How could you possibly suggest that, because those 2 wonderful clubs come from our nations capital, that they should get different treatment from our boys in the gutter press How very cynical of you

Craig David outside SJP? i know we are a circus but surely not.

If this turns out, Blackburn are goinig to be our official feeder club

See its made them one of the giant forces in world football

Have kind of kept away from watching football all weekend.... what were they like at your place ?

Some cockney twat ex-footballer on Soccer Saturday (I don't know who he is) said "They all want one man to do it". I was shouting at the screen, "You dare say Shearer!". What do they base this demand for Shearer on? The made up shite in the papers? It's like me saying "I know what his favourite dinner will be. Jellied Eels". I liked Alan McInally going into one and feeling quote strongly about it saying that Allardyce most certainly should have KEPT his job because we drew 0-0 away at Stoke. What the fuck does he know about us and our club. What a twat. At least Jeff Stelling had the sense to retort and say "oh come on Alan, they were absolutely awful". McInally's face was a picture, he was getting really wound up about it.

Am fed up of these odd getting shown. Means fuck all when you consider what Redknapp was going on. Last week, Talksport said someone put £250,000 on Redknapp getting the job.

It's why I wished Mort and Ashley had unveiled Mourinho as our new manager the day after Allardyce had been sacked. It would have been like "Fuck you!" to all the media and all the other arseholes who are always having a go at us. We should try and use this as a positive and turn in it into a kind of "us against the world" attitude. If everyone strives to prove all of these people wrong, we might be able to achieve something
