olliemort Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Shearer is not a bad shout you know. I’d be pretty disappointed in him tbh Shearer begged bruce not to take the job so i would be shocked. He also has a cushy number on BBC with all his mates so why would he bother Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Aside from being thrown to the wolves when we went down, Shearer has shown zero desire to be a football manager. Has no coaching experience and to be honest, his recent punditry has raised serious questions about his thought process when it comes to the club, or more specifically his mate managing the club. No thanks. I’d rather look back with fondness as his goal scoring clips than grow a hatred for him through managerial failures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candi_Hills Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 The whole idea sounds like a disaster to me. Steve Bruce will be completely undermined by whomever comes in. Imagine how awkward it’ll be: “This is errr Alan / Dennis / Joe... He’s just help out... Don’t worry, I’m still the manager but you’re gonna be seeing him around training too.” Next I’m picturing that bald trainer bloke off The Office talking tactics and Brent talking over him in a bid to remain significant.

Rafalove Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I doubt even Mike would go back to Kinnear for a third time. My guess is Dennis Wise as D.O.F Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Pearson I could see because of his being here previously and a known no nonsense type. Manager to the end of the season would probably be acceptable to him. I thought he did an incredible job at Watford and they would have stayed up if they hadn't sacked him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE27 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 How is this not undermining bruce? They're basically saying whatever you're doing is shit and we want someone else in there to supervise you. But we aren't going to sack you, because that costs a bit money.

Dr Jinx Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 My hunch is it’ll be Sven-Göran Eriksson who will eventually take over in a similar way to how Roy Evans was usurped by Gerard Houllier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny36 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Any chance that its a player and not a coach/dof. Article says "the arrival of a key figure the club are confident can improve the first team" Maybe PIF or Staveley have identified a "Robinho" type signing and Bruce knowing he will be gone soon has given his blessing?
