LV Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Yeah I’m not saying Shearer is even the right choice as an interim solution. I just wondered whether they might be considering it. He’d probably not want it anyway as I think he’s said he’s not looking for a managers job ever again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying I would want Shearer as manager but my fucking nan would be a better manager than Bruce, and she's been dead twenty odd years! On a side note, I think criticism of Shearer is harsh, he didn't really get a chance - a team that wasn't trying and pretty much already relegated, with a very small number of games left as his first gig? He was touted as one of the most promising when he took his qualifications, I'm 100% positive if he's continued in the Championship he'd have shone, he just wasn't given the chance and then cemented being a pundit after that. Not to mention he had utter prick Michael Owen refusing to play in case he got injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggys First Goal Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Would love Jose here. Always thought it would happen one day. The Bobby connection and his, seemingly, love of Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Shearer and Keegan are the guys you want making phone calls to potential signings. Keegan could sell sand to the.. well and Shearer is an absolute legend. They would make good advisors from a vision and emotional perspective but never in terms of who would make a good manager. Even Keegan is a footballing dinosaur in the modern age and it breaks my heart to say that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backed him really well this summer. Net spend of £85m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's also an arrogant/miserable prick at times, and I'm not sure he is the empire builder we need in the long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course he is. Bruce thinks he's a manager, Shearer knows he's not one. I doubt if he could do things differently he would, he'd rather have not done it at all. 12 minutes ago, loki679 said: Get him in training the young strikers. Is he even a coach? Refused to be assistant to Keegan when he came back, his ego wouldn't let it. Shame as that would have been much better exposure for him rather than the managers job.

STM Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Kind of fell at a bad time. In the summer Jose and Rafa would have been options. Perhaps Greame Jones until an option comes around isn't a bad idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Pundit Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I can't doubt Conte's ability, but he does strike me a really volatile. Would he be a good fit for us? The area? It's one thing potentially having loads of money to buy a championship, but is that what he does? Or does he actually build squads with a legacy in mind?
