I think Sam resigned rather than was sacked - I'm not sure he felt he could do what was needed.
I hope that Newcastle find a new Keegan, it was great to watch.
If it is Alan Shearer then I wish him good luck - superb player and comes across as a really decent bloke. (I hope he's a better manager than the late great Jackie Milburn was at Ipswich - fantastic player, but not the the best manager).
The advantage Shearer would have in the dressing room over some others is that nobody could back chat him and say I'm a better player than you ever were.
It would also be good to see an English manager win something. We need Newcastle to well. I really want to see Newcastle, West Ham, Everton and Aston Villa breaking up the dominance of the four at the top - makes everything more interesting and exciting.

But will Harry R be better ........ seems he's the one the Newcastle chairman wants - according to Radio 5.

No, ROTF, I don't think so. He's out of the same mould in my opinion.

Shearer is far too intelligent to take on Newcastle at the moment. He'll wait for the next time round. As for Redknapp, as someone who couldn't give a fig about Newcastle I think the prospect of him becoming manager is hilarious! Out with the old spiv in with the new one!

Bob,
As someone who does give a fig about Newcastle, I can only concur with your comments which are spot on.
My only worry was that the Shearer bandwagon was being pushed so heavily within the press it might happen. Wanting Shearer as the manager is certainly not a prevalent view amongst season ticket holders I know.
Regarding Redknapp, he was about as far off my radar as Souness was!
It is no fun having your team as the longest running soap in football.
Regards
Nic

...AAAAAAGGGH ...god forbid that EVER happens ..I well remember the OTT reaction from the "Toon Army" fans (sic) whenever they were beaten during the so-called golden era (ie 5 minutes when KK was manager)...mucho "crying" after a late goal had ended their quest for a trophy AGAIN (all the while looking through the gaps in their hands to ensure Sky were still pointing their camera's at them)
..In the realms of "look at me" football fans NUFC hold top position ....underneath the canny geordie exterior lurks a smug arrogance not understood by those who choose to believe the media hype ....NUFC are not a small club but they are not (nor have ever been) a really massive club
...They have the advantage of a catchment area much larger than any other similar Premiership team so they should have the big attendances they so often point to as a reason to love them (?)...their away support IS very impressive (ie identical to Sunderland's) but let's not wish for any real success for the barcodes - we would all drown in a sea of smugosity!

Jet,
When I am more sober I will debate some of these points with you (post 5-a-side and visit to the pub is not the time!). Diccus will attest I am a reasonable man for a "barcode".

anelka signs for chelski - £14m.
Posted on: 11 January 2008 by Bob McC
I'll give it a year before it ends in tears. The Sulk doesn't like being a sub!
Posted on: 11 January 2008 by scottyhammer

Posted on: 11 January 2008 by Bob McC
Interesting that Anelka is still only the second highest gross transfer fee'd player ever. Anyone care to guess who the most expensive is?

..nee problem nic .....as the cliche' goes some of my best friends are mags and are all fine human beings ....I guess I went a bit ott following the excessive media coverage of Big Sam's demise .....at the end of the day we from the frozen wastes of NE England can at least rejoice in the fact that we are not "Cockernees"! ....oh gawd I've gone off again .......
