Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 He's a class act and a great ambassador for the club, fans and City. Everywhere I go people always mention Shearer and just how good he was as a player. My boys already know all about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/alan-shearer-newcastle-crucial-crossroads-13799097 Newcastle United are at a crucial crossroads in their history and it is essential they take the correct turn and finally realise their “huge, untapped potential”, insists Alan Shearer . The Magpies’ record goal-scorer admits he “could not help but celebrate” the news that Mike Ashley has decided to put the club up for sale after a decade as owner. He believes the billionaire businessman has held Newcastle back for too long, and it is time for Ashley to move on and usher in a new era. “He [Ashley] has held Newcastle back for too long,” Shearer writes in his weekly column in The Sun . “Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan spouted absolute nonsense this week that Ashley was never going to be accepted at the club because he was a southerner. What? “It didn’t seem to hold back the affection the fans at St James’ Park had for Rob Lee or Les Ferdinand. “The reason Ashley has been disliked during his 10-year tenure is because he has not invested enough to realise the club’s potential. “Trying to change the name of the ground, plus his poor treatment of certain managers have not helped either. “Nor has selling the best players. I have never quite got why he bought the club in the first place. “It has made him unhappy and everyone else connected with it for that matter. “This long-held view by people from outside the club that Newcastle fans have unrealistic expectations of where their club should be always leaves me perplexed. “All we have ever wanted is the hope our club can challenge the very best, hope that they can win a trophy, hope that our dreams and desire for the club can be matched by those owning and running it. “Much in the same way they were by Sir John Hall and Freddy Shepherd. “Now the hope is that a new owner can match them again.” Financier Amanda Staveley and her company PCP Capital Partners are currently performing due diligence at St James’ Park, while a number of other parties have also registered an interest in buying the club. And Shearer has offered advice to any potential new owners - encouraging them to back “world-class manager” Rafa Benitez and finally allow the club to dream again. “I don’t know potential buyer Amanda Staveley, or what her plans are for the club, but I know what they should be,” Shearer continues. “They should be to back a world-class manager to the hilt. Because the club has one in Rafa Benitez. “My fear is that if a takeover does not go through by the end of this season, he will be lost to Newcastle. “Benitez has them up in seventh place. Imagine what he could be doing with some serious financial backing. “What any owner of the club will get is a guaranteed passionate fan base that will support and work with anyone who has the best interests of Newcastle United at heart. “I remember hundreds of thousands lining a bus parade I was part of twice - and that was when we had lost FA Cup finals. “You get 52,000 in the ground every other week, no matter what is happening.” Shearer was part of Sir Bobby Robson’s Newcastle side who twice qualified for the Champions League, while he first joined his boyhood club the season after United came agonisingly close to lifting the Premier League title. The former England captain, who scored a club-record 206 goals for Newcastle, insists the potential for growth is “huge” at St James’ Park and that it is now a crucial moment in the Magpies’ history. “The potential to be tapped is huge. My son Will is probably sick of hearing me say this,” Shearer adds. “But I want him to experience what Newcastle can be - and it can be huge. “It is one of those clubs whose influence goes well beyond the confines of the ground. “The spill over from St James’ Park goes deep into the community. “It can lift the city or leave it flat. It is that which Benitez loves so much. “Right now, Newcastle is at one of those moments in its history where things can go one of two ways. I don’t want to think of the wrong turn that could be made. “There is a book called ‘Touching Distance’ about how close Newcastle got to winning the Premier League back in 1996. “They may never come that close again. But all Newcastle fans want is the belief it COULD happen again. “To be challenging. To have a club and a team they can be proud of once more. “The door is now open for someone to realise that - I just hope they can walk through it.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 It's great to have someone who isn't afraid to speak up and out, someone who has obvious clout within the game and who was a great player, a feared apponent, have our back like. Liverpool have had it for decades, but unlike a lot of their ex players Shearer isn't afraid to criticise the club, players etc. but always has the fans' back! Fucking love the man me!

STM Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Spot on HTT. Shearer is one of the few ex players we have to make positive contributions in the press. He's got the BBC cornered. We need someone at Sky to fight our corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Shearer discussing brain disease because of heading. I honestly think in 5 years we'll get bans on heading in kids matches. No heading allowed for all under 16 matches, for example. Which parent will willingly allow their children to head the ball if they're at increased risk of dementia or CTE?
