Alan Shearer contract latest: long gone

Crikey, I didnt expect it to go down like this, it seems strange that the posters who are making the suggestion that Shearer wont make a great manager based on how he handled a situation are being castigated by posters who think he will make a good/great manager based on absolutely nothing. Blind faith - something which has been good,great and absolutely s*** for the club, strikes again.The way i see it is in that I got an insight into how Shearer thinks in how he handled the whole affair, he let his emotions get the better of him publically with the sour faced interview which gave no one much confidence, (like i say how do the great managers handle situatuions like these), then to compound the decision he publically announces the next day that Barton's been suspended drawing more attention to the club, I watched a program on Mourihno and he said that he acted like a prick publically so that the pressure and attention wasnt put onto players when they misbehaved - now that is brilliant psychology, and the type of psychology which is relatively basic and used 'coicidentally' by the top manager. Sheaer did the exact opposite. Like i say, its just an insight into his mindset, this all hapened within 5 weeks, which makes things even more harrowing, add into the mix what was allegdely said in the changing room and you have a little grip on some form of evidence, enough to justiy my beliefs anyway. The timing of the suspension and everything surrounding it couldnt of come at a worse time, maybe another reason why i dont think he'll be great.Like i say, can you envisage a manager of good quality who would do the same thing in the run up to the business end of a title challenge?

FFS what role had Barton got left to play at the club last season after the sending off - cheer leader? lucky mascot? He had succeeded in embarassing the club in the eyes of the whole world (again), letting down yet another manager who gave him a chance, letting down his team mates (again) and do you know what his team mates think of him anyway?

word habibbeye btw.   

 

Im obviously not putting my point across well enough, this isnt about Barton this is about how he handled the Barton situation, just sets off alrms bells in my mind...

it's that barton has reached the point where he is indefensible. if it was the firast or second time he may have got some backing.

So you reckon Alex Ferguson and Brian Clough would have turned a blind eye to a player calling them a prick and shite manager do you?

 

Nope, but they wouldnt of handled it how Shearer did.

they'd never have had barton on the books in the first place and if they had he wouldn't have been there long.

pray tell

[fredbob]

Please point out where anyone claims Shearer will be a great manager.

 

I think you might struggle, but you might find a shitload of people saying the hope isn't based on much. You're the one making claims.

 

Christ - im sure i said "good/great" not that that makes any difference to the post. If you neither agree or disagree with my post then why say anything? I dont think he will be a good manager - more in the mould of Souness, people who diasgree with me think he'll be nothing like Souness and will be a good manager, theres no grey area here, you either want him here becasue you think he'll be a good manager or you dont want him here becasue you dont.

 

Im struggling to see whats so difficult to comprehend, if you diasgree with me then what is it that you've physcially seen which makes you think he might become a good manager?

 

Just because I've argued against you claiming he's going to be like Souness doesn't mean I automatically think he's going to be good or great.

 

What? So my relatively irrelavent comparison to Souness is your only point of contention? What have we achieved?

Damn right.

 

The biggest problem at NUFC (after the owner and his puppets) is a lack of respect for the club, and Barton is one of the worst offenders. He’d hardly been at the club five minutes before he was slagging off the supporters and getting pissed out of his skull and beating up teenagers.

 

Shearer did the right thing, for the right reason. Barton shouldn’t be allowed to set foot on the training ground ever again.  He’s disgrace, the kind of character that drags the club down.

[Skirge]

Al rocks, END OF!

the timing of the suspension was shearers fault ?

 

i've seen mourinho say his player deserved to be sent off before.

 

Yeh, i dont think he should of been 'publically' suspended, make him train with the reserves, hell you can effectively suspend him without suspending him - is it that difficult to get around without dragging the clubs name through the mud?

 

The clubs facing its biggest run up to the end of season in about 20 years, psychologically speaking is it healthy to have the public mutterings about the situation whiilst you are trying to concentrate on some of the biggest games of your life? In my mind no.

 

Ive seen Wenger say he saw something which was his players fault, not really the point i was making, Im very confident Mourihno would of said no such thing had he been in the Semi of the CL or the penultimate game to a titel challenign season....its all about context of incident.

 

In my mind Shearer went about it the wrong way. And it shows a degree of naivety and poor decision makingm he didnt look at the big picture.

if i was a newcastle player i'd have wanted barton training with anyone other then the first team. it would be interesting to knoew if anyone of the playing staff , after the liverpool game, had the bottle to tell barton to fuck off.

if bartons had been a one off incident he may have got shearers backing but for fucks sake how many times is that now he;s dropped us in the shit. he is indefensible, it's pointless trying. sooner he's gone the better.

 

Again, you have me wrong, im not defending Barton, im using how he dealt with Barton and its context to exlain my reservations about him as a manager, i see similarities to Souness' way of handling things and Keanes as well...

If you look back yes, that's the only thing I've been disputing. Considering it's at the core of why you think he's not going to be any good I reckon it's worthy of discussion.

 

I simply don't see any similarities to Souness (ie the Bellamy affair) whatsoever.

if i was a newcastle player i'd have wanted barton training with anyone other then the first team. it would be interesting to knoew if anyone of the playing staff , after the liverpool game, had the bottle to tell barton to f*** off.

if bartons had been a one off incident he may have got shearers backing but for f***s sake how many times is that now he;s dropped us in the s***. he is indefensible, it's pointless trying. sooner he's gone the better.

 

Again, you have me wrong, im not defending Barton, im using how he dealt with Barton and its context to exlain my reservations about him as a manager, i see similarities to Souness' way of handling things and Keanes as well...

and what i'm saying is that if shearer hadn't of done what he done he'd have lost all repect from fans,players and football community a like. he is indefensible and i'd think anyone in the game including ferguson et al would defend him after going so far so many times.

[fredbob]

Ok  how about this, Shearer did the right thing but in completely the wrong way, his actions werent in the best interest of the club in its current plight. The better managers know how to deal with incidents like this, they save face then deal afterwards, they dont let the media and public knwo that serial fuck up Joey Barton has been suspended Alan "I take no shit", manager of Mickey mouse club Newcastle united.

 

Keep Barton away from the club, just dont tell the media so they can scavange like vultures over our decaying body, not in the run up to the games that we had.

To be fair your exact words (taken completely out of context) were Shearer will be a great manager.

Then we're gonna have to agree to disagree.

 

Ive also mentioned Keane and Ince. Ive also mentioned Wenger, Mourihno and Ferguson as counter examples of what im trying to explain.

i personally think it was the right thing to do. the press would have a field day regardless. if he's away from the club he;s away from the players which can only be a good thing.

Yeah. Like the media aren’t going to find out Barton had been suspended.

 

If you want to poke holes in Shearer’s eight game spell his numerous tactical changes would be a better bet. An experienced manager would probably have kept it simple and consistent, but even that carries little weight such was the desperate state of the club when he came in.

 

We don’t know how good a manager Shearer might be, but to compare him to Souness and Keane because he didn’t publicly kiss Barton’s bollocks is plain stupid.

I'd argue the more experienced managers would perhaps deal with it differently, but it's nothing to do with how good they are.

 

We had to tell the media (and the fans) what was going on man. Everyone was raging and speculating about the daft fucker and how we were going to deal with him - how does that help in the run up to important games?

and he wasn't helped by inheriting a very unbalanced,thin squad  and getting the usual nufc injury crisis. (and the odd suspension to contend with)

[Skirge]

He may not have said a word but he was asked he was honest, how thats wrong is beyond me it really is, he could not defend him he could not refuse to talk about it, thats just going to create more media frenzy.

[fredbob]

Ok, the best analogy i can come up with to explain my point of view, is if you see someone dealing with a prick, in sitaution a) he deals with him by hitting him, in situation b) he deals with him by talking to him and calming the sitaution down.

 

Now suppose i witness both situauations I could tell alot about the persons temperament by how they handled the situaiton regardless of the pricks involvment, i know the examples arent the same as what occured with Shearer but the general jist is there. Its the same concept seeing how he handled the situaiotn gave me an insight into how he thinks and I wasnt "impressed."

 

So hard to explain.
