Mag_in_NZ Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 WTF....fucking great news, heard it here in NZ 15 minutes after midday and thought "oh it's April Fools back home" (bit more colourful than that tho') and proceeded to put a screwdriver thru the company car radio If it's true it is absolutely cracking news but I don't know how I'm going to explain the company car radio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Question is will the Lee come join the coaching staff? If he stays on It wouldnt be a suprise to see Gary Speed back too. Hughton and Calderwood on their bikes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouldy_uk Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I'm not going to comment on this until it's confirmed by the club. At this point, I'm about 50/50 convinced that this is a joke. This Though if it is true :indi: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonTastic Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Question is will the Lee come join the coaching staff? If he stays on It wouldnt be a suprise to see Gary Speed back too. Hughton and Calderwood on their bikes. With only 8 games to go and him only manager till the end of the season do you think the board will allow him to bring in whoever he wants as his backroom staff and sack current backroom staff members ? Also if he did bring in his own backroom staff I have no doubts they will all be experienced. Shearer isn't daft he knows his weaknesses and wouldn't bring in anyone unproven at this stage to support him in those weaknesses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpie418 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Question is will the Lee come join the coaching staff?

Also if he did bring in his own backroom staff I have no doubts they will all be experienced. Shearer isn't daft he knows his weaknesses and wouldn't bring in anyone unproven at this stage to support him in those weaknesses I think Shearer will pretty much have the board by their knackers at this point. I dont expect anyone but Rob Lee to come in straight away. Hughton and Calderwood will certainly stay on until the end of the season at least. There isnt any point getting rid of anyone. Both Hughton and Calderwood will act as the experience for now. If he stays on past the season it will be interesting to see if John Carver returns alongside Lee as predicted before xmas. Its all on the up now until the we get a thumping from Chelsea to bring us back down to earth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider Jerusalem Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Another mad decision from our owner. Waits a month and a half for a knackered so-so manager to come back, leaving Hughton in charge and then finally decides to replace him with an inexperienced (but potentially inspirational) ex-player. With regard to Shearer though, this is a no lose situation for him as if it all goes up shit-creek then he's not going to be held accountable and he can walk away at the end of the season getting the 'Shearer for Manager' campaign to stop turning up at St James' to parade for the Sky cameras the next time we need a manager. If we don't go down he's an even bigger legend than he was three years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Boy Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Great news to wake up to! Can't help but feel that we are still likely to go to down, but for the first time in months, at least the apathy has gone! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikri Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Highly reminiscent of Sir John Hall's original motivation for hiring Keegan - a short term appointment that would lift the fans and team to hopefully avoid relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 This is wrong. I'm a 28 year old accountant. I'm supposed to be level headed but I've got up this morning believing in football again. How and why can this club produce sugar rush moments on such a regular basis?
