Tooj Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 No. I don't want to see the new owners pander to the mob again. I don't know why people think we couldn't get anyone else, if we get taken over i expect we will be quite attractive, Redknapp has just left Pompey for Spurs ffs. Spurs are historically a bigger team than Pompey though, and have a better squad of players to work with. I can understand why he has done so.

Mr. Snrub Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 How many times does Keegan have to walk out on us before people will stop wanting him back? I'd rather Shearer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Btw following on from what 2J said about us being a laughing stock, it always bothers me to an irrational degree that you get various numpties in the media saying 'Shearer is who the Newcastle fans want' based on asking about four people, as though it's a universal opinion.

fredbob Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Nah, definitely wouldntwant him here, not yet anyway. This is such a big appointment, it needs to be right and for me its gotta be someone who's gonnna recognise the defincies with certain players in our squad, and put any sort of favouritsm aside. Shearer strikes me as someone who would put personalities ahead of actual ability. I dont think he'd build a technically proficient squad like SBR, but one full of strong personalites with dogged determination like Souness. On the plus side, i imagine if he did a crap job and knew it he'd quit.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Anyone who thinks it was Roeder and not Shearer that got us into that european spot a few seasons ago is deluded tbh Shearer demands and commands utmost respect. He is a private man who would promote NUFC into a high profile club, thus creating a feel good factor that would get sponsors and fans flooding in. I can see him doing things simply, not overcomplicating tactics for instance. He is 100% the man we need at this moment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 The one thing to think about with Shearer is what Keane's doing down the road. He went in there with fuck all experience and is doing relatively well I suppose (). He put aside previous disagreements with Quinn too, and has dispelled similar thoughts that he'd be a stubborn fucker like when he played. He's learnt from the master though...

He tried to build a determined team full of grafters who would play "proper football". Failed, but tried. Its clear that Shearer backed him all the way, whilst not supporting SBR's decisions with Bellamy etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 No, i wouldn't. It's too soon on so many levels. Not only do we know nothing of his managerial ability - he hasn't proved himself at any level whatsoever - but i just don't know if it would have that positive an effect on the community/crowd. Yes, to 95% of people he is a legend, but he isn't forgotten-about enough yet, a la Keegan's two appointments - it wouldn't be as euphoric as it could be five or six more years down the line. Also, we've just lost Keegan - he'd still be in his shadow, regardless of his stature. Not forgetting, the media will be on his and our backs instantly, which does make a difference to things. It effects preparation, and it would effect how easily he would settle into the job. We've seen it with the last two managers in Keegan and Kinnear. Too soon, get someone proven in. I'm not sure who is, but Shearer's not the one for me atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've underachieved if they ask me, given the money they've spent. They won't finish in, or anywhere near, the top half this season imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matta Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 We desperately need something special this time around also, and i belive Shearer can give us that, just cause he can get this place buzzing again, much like Keegan last year. Yes from me. Also can't think of many, if any, better options at this very moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer possibly learnt a bit from Sir Bobby? I imagine he picked up a few things at least. Personally I think Shearer would be the one we need at the moment, someone that can get us fighting and someone with the spine to make the tough decisions. I would like him here, although I admit it is a bit of a risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put what happened all down to the teams response to no longer playing under the souness regime. We see it happen all the time, Spurs will go on a similar run now... For what its worth, i agree with the rest of your post re: his character. Though he's not the man for the job for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How devastating would it be for Shearer to be the man that took us down? I couldn't handle Shearer being in charge at the moment. I just don't think it would work.
