Alan Shearer

[Seymour]

That's tan? Looks more like my sorry attempt at a s**** after a KFC.

Gravy stains marra

By the way I think Shearer would get 18 + league goals per season today consistently whether he was playing for the mackems or Watford, that's how good he was.

Might it not depend who he was playing for as I'd reckon he'd score loads more for Chelsea/Man City than he would for West Brom. Same goes for Ronaldo/Messi, I don't think they'd be as prolific at Gijon or Las Palmas.

[Dinho lad]

Shearer would score goal anywhere.

[Mr. Snrub]

Hate the fact he was and always will be my childhood hero but now writes for The S*n.

 

Not as if he needs the dollar, and as a working class lad from a city embraced by football he should know what Liverpool went through because of that dirty fucking rag and tell them to fuck off.

Easier to perform in Champions League every now and then when the standard of half the La Liga means it's effectively a training match for the likes of Real and Barca.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

How much would prime Shearer be worth today?

[AyeDubbleYoo]

How much would prime Shearer be worth today?

 

Similar to Bale I guess.

[Hanshithispantz]

He'd definitely be in that bracket with Griezzman/Kane where all logic goes out of the window and a random giant fee is attached to him.

Totally agree, I really wish he would jack it in, I can't respect him when he writes for such a vile rag. Like you said its not like he needs the money.

5th top story on BBC news front page is about Big Al

 

Alan Shearer was given negligent financial advice, the High Court in London has been told.

 

The 46-year-old former England and Newcastle star, now a Match of the Day pundit, is suing for £9m in damages.

 

He claims financial advisor Kevin Neal was "careless" and "dishonest", while pension specialist Suffolk Life had breached its regulatory duties.

 

Both Suffolk Life and Mr Neal dispute the claims, with Mr Neal describing them as driven by "pure greed and ego".

 

Mr Shearer is also suing two defunct companies - Kevin Neal Associates and Kevin Neal Associates Wealth Management.

 

'Serious money'

 

The barrister leading Mr Shearer's legal team, Gerard McMeel, said the claims centred on pension investments.

 

In a written case outline, he said his client had "limited knowledge or experience" of making investments and he and his wife Lainya relied on professional advisers and "those with responsibility to look after their interests".

 

Javan Herberg, representing Suffolk Life, said Mr Shearer and his advisers were responsible for their investment decisions.

 

He said the Mr Shearer's claims that Mr Neal had "effectively swindled" the couple required some investigation.

 

Mr Neal, who is defending himself, said the Shearers had made "serious money" out of one investment fund.

'Gung-ho'

 

He said it was for the judge, Mr Justice Leggatt, to decide whether the Shearers were "naive" or "sophisticated" investors.

 

Mr Neal said the Shearers had "pushed" him to put more money into one fund, and he had not been "gung-ho", but had "acted in good faith at all times".

 

He added: "This claim is just driven by pure greed and ego."

 

In his 18-year playing career Shearer made more than 600 appearances for clubs including Newcastle, Southampton and Blackburn, and won more than 60 England caps.

 

The trial continues.

Hope he loses, tight bastard that he is.

[John P]

Hope he loses, tight b****** that he is.

 

What an odd thing to say.

[Happinesstan]

Hope he loses, tight b****** that he is.

 

What an odd thing to say.

 

It's not really.

 

Given that we've lived through 30 years of skyrocketing prices to pay for footballers obscene wages, which were justified by the fact that they have short careers. I think we can all, quite justifiably, not give a shit about them now.

 

fucksakes man, Lineker earns more in one hour on a Saturday night than most earn in a year. Shearer probably does too.

 

He made more than enough money during his career, that he never had to worry about anything for the rest of his, or his daughters lives.

Are you for real? I would be f***ing annoyed if someone lost £9m of my money like

 

muppet

 

practically saying its ok that he has lost £9m because he had a good career and is rich

The quintessential Neesy post here.

[Marmoset]

Don't imagine he's so loaded that £9m isn't still a fucking huge chunk like.

Of course, footballers are all cunts who deserve to be cheated out of their money.  Much better that the cash in the hands of those honest and hardworking folks in the finance industry.

[Dan Gleebals]

Scams are scams, minted or not.  Perpetrators should not get away with it.

 

If he has just spunked loads of money in a high performing fund that just flunked then that, on the other hand, is his own greedy fault.

So what's the cut off point in terms of percentage of earnings under which you can't complain if you get robbed?

 

Asking for a friend.

[Happinesstan]

What a protective bunch you all are.

 

I never once said that anybody deserves to lose anything.

 

I simply argued that what neesy said wasn't all that odd.

[Hughesy]

It definitely was an odd statement to make.

Does not compute.

[Dinho lad]

Everyone is entitled to make the most of their earning potential. (Assuming it doesn't illegally fuck someone over)
