Alberto2005 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Sources close to Alan Shearer have confirmed to the BBC this evening that he is extremely unlikely to be the next manager of Newcastle. Shearer says he is currently very happy with his job on Match of the Day. The former England captain, who played for the Magpies for nearly 10 years and ended his career at St James' Park, had been strongly linked with the post. Newcastle are beginning the hunt for their seventh manager in 11 years after the departure of Sam Allardyce http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/7180147.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled in Texas Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Shearer's too smart to consider stepping into the role yet. No way will he risk it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 For me it is Shearer or a massive name (Benitez, Mourinho, Hitzfeld). Sacking Sam at this stage for anyone else is suicide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I'd rather have Shearer than the British alternatives. Which is depressing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 If its not Shearer then it cant be British. Or if it is we are in for another change within 18 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Shearer's too smart to consider stepping into the role yet. No way will he risk it. Certainly too smart not to distance himself from it straight away (Especially with Man U and a potential banan skin in Stoke coming up). Media image and all that.

Quailman Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Shearer's too smart to consider stepping into the role yet. No way will he risk it. The man is not an idiot, he knows he needs to gain experience from a couple of clubs before stepping into his dream job. Why jump in and risk his managerial career straight away with the most risky job in the prem! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boot Boy Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I'd sooner have Shearer than Redknapp TBH. For me, what is important is that the next manager gets the time to do the job. It's shocking that Allardyce has been sacked so soon IMO and only goes to show that the new regime is no more patient and strong willed than the last one. With this in mind, either a World class manager who the fans believe in must be employed or Alan Shearer hero to all must be given the job. Anything else and we'll be right back where we are now in another 13 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Wouldn't of hurt him to rule himself out a few months ago. There has been a Shearer shaped cloud over Allardyces head for months now. No there hasn't that's just press speculating after the bad run of results. He's always ruled himself out. But I guess for the press and some people he needs to do it every single day.

Rich Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Just saw this now, and yes Daveed, I'm continuing my crusade. Until Shearer says it himself, while under the influence of a birthday spell by that kid from Liar, Liar, I'm not jumping to any conclusions. It's marvellous on this fence, people should join me.
