Hail Shearer

What's the difference between Newcastle United & Alan Shearer?




Alan Shearer will still be on Match of the Day next season.

Wondering what the Geordie reaction would be to Kevin Keegan returning to Saints as manager?

This rumour has been knocking around for a while, but today it's gone absolutely mental.
To be honest I didn't believe it, but as the day as gone on I've gotten carried away.

MLT as Chairman and KK as Manager (or even DoF?)
It's dreamland, isn't it?

Not to burst your bubble or anything, but why?

Keegan's not exactly got the best track record at the moment.

Why would he come to a Div 3 team, or why would I want him?
I guess you mean the latter, he did a great job at Fulham and Newcastle the first time round. I think anyone could see that the second stint was doomed to failure with the factors of Wise and Ashley thrown in.

Perhaps football has changed while he was out of the game, I think he even said he gave it a wide birth, didn't even watch it on tv (?)

The Saints rollercoaster has been a rough ride in recent months, if we still have a club at the start of the season I will be pleased, even if it's in L1 on -10. There was a possibility that we would cease to exist.
So, if we had managed to sign up a decent young manager, like Tisdale, it would have been the best we could hope for.

KK & MLT would give the city such a lift I'd just love to see it and give them a chance. I am thinking with my heart rather than my head, but surely if you were offered KK to manage in Div 3 you rip their arm off, no?

If they manage to pull this off I will be amazed, and delighted.
I'd have to make sure I take a trip home for the first game of the season. (Home to Millwall)

good luck to all concerned -he's a decent enough coach, and an honest man. papers and snipers make a lot of his recent time at newcastle; but anybody being fucked-about and lied-to like that and stays on is on a hiding to nothing. it'd be him, not the sorry collection of players he was dumped with, who'd be getting the stick from the usual gobshites for relegation...

Seems that if youre in the top half of the prem youre ok. If youre not, then theres always the danger youre gonna get relegated. One bad manager / owner/ chairman later and youre in the Championship (or League One if youre really unlucky.

I worked out that there are 14 teams that have been in the premier league and then got relegated twice. Only Man City have made it all the way back up.

At least Newcastle have got a large support and high media profile. Someone will want to come in and "save" them. I hope that somebody comes in right after Boxing Day though (after they've been thrashed by The Wednesday at Hillsborough!)
