lovejoy Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10278~1609447,00.html 01 Apr 2009 NUFC Statement - Alan Shearer NEWCASTLE United can confirm that Alan Shearer will return to the Club as manager for the final eight games of the season. The Magpies' all-time record goalscorer takes charge of first team affairs at St. James' Park with immediate effect. Iain Dowie will assist Alan, with Chris Hughton and Colin Calderwood continuing in their coaching roles. The Club have made the appointments while Joe Kinnear continues to recover at home having recently underwent heart surgery. Managing Director Derek Llambias said: "Everyone at Newcastle United is absolutely delighted that Alan has taken on this challenge. "Already there is a buzz around the Club and the city. The news has given everyone a massive boost." Alan will hold his first training session with the squad on Thursday morning before addressing the media at St. James' Park later in the afternoon. The Club will not be opening the stadium to the public on Thursday. However, Alan and the squad will stage an 'open' training session for all fans to attend at St. James' Park next Tuesday. More details on this event will follow. ssn understands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Not sure which thread to use, but still.. A very good move IMO. Dowie will help Shearer with generally how to go about things, and won't just be a yes-man. A good No.2 under the circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 When Souness was sacked I suggested to a mate that bringing in Shearer with an experienced bloke might work - I suggested Peter Taylor at the time but Dowie makes as much sense now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 The training ground will be all the better for a couple of new faces like Dowie as Number 2 & Pedro training the junior strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
