At the moment I can not see it happening. Ashley is­ keeping quiet by his absence, a man who does not give a­ @#$% about NUFC. JK has a hard job to do with players­ who don`t really care if NUFC do get relegated, because­ they will simply move on to pastures new.
NUFC, if they­ are relegated will certainly fall in value and Ashley­ will lose even more money. Wise is reported in the­ local rag as being trailing a player from Blackburn -­ who is going to pay the money Mr Wise?
The only player­ who gives 100% at the moment is Shay Given, whom I­ suspect, will soon be moving away from NUFC.

you should go for steve bruce.

the scunks need to udnerstand shearer is scared of­ them, he knows that if he takes the job, be hero­ welcommed then spend big on total big time charlies­ with attitude problems, start getting beat, finish­ 14th, get boooed and then resign, as all nufc managers­ do. They win nothing and get boooed until they are­ sacked for the next numpty.

I hope they get­ relegated
Roy and Niall

Rubbish Mr Duff
Pure unadulterated rubbish

I don't think it's anything to do with­ chickening out taff. He just doesn't want his­ career in football ruined by taking on the poisoned­ chalice that is Newcastle.

Shearer is the ONLY man for the job but will he chicken­ out? If he does not make it the fans will turn on him­ and he is a local boy. I think he has got to have a go­ and bring in Sir Bobby to help him. For God's sake­ do not start talking about Keegan again but his name­ will crop up and you will be back to square one

Yes, he is the perfect answer. Someone with absoloutely­ NO managerial experience whatsoever...

When will they­ learn that taking another gamble on a manager is not­ what they need right now. They need someone proven at­ this point in time instead of dreaming of instant­ success with former players managing them.

Shearer needs to get some management experience under­ his belt first; I can't think of anyone who has­ moved from punditry to management - I'm sure­ someone will tell me if I am wrong... I think Andy Gray­ was linked to Everton a few years ago?

Joe Kinnear is­ the best man for the job because he's probably the­ only one who wants it! As it stands at the moment, the­ ship is beginning to steady, but we need a few more­ good results - look at the table and we could soon be­ up in the top half ... Hopefully we can remain in the­ Premiership without having to rely on other teams'­ wheels falling off!

To "Dave p" -

If Shearer is the answer so­ what is the question??

Shearer is a Pro in everything­ he will do in the football field.

I do think that­ shearer will make things better.

I don,t think shearer fits the bill, although he was­ asuperb striker, he lacks charisma and does not look­ like a effective motivator. Stick to the couch, Al.

Shearer and Keegan together would be an almighty duo to­ be reckoned with provided the two of them can agree on­ working parameters.

shearer needs exprience first full stop

i went to st james park for the first time saturday to­ the wigan game , i have NEVER been to such a dead­ atmosphere for a premier league game , the team look­ tired and have given up , to read that duff is happy­ with the manager says it all , he was @#$% and the­ other 9 ,shay given was ok and way above his team­ mates, the TOON are doomed as it stands , i really­ liked the geordies and feel sorry for them , i am from­ down sarf .

Damien Duff was born in ireland you tools. click on his­ link in this article and it says hes from england.­ Ballyboden is in ireland not england. there different­ countries get it right.

Shearer is the right man for the job but he definitely­ needs some experience coaching or being someone­ else's number 2, u guys talk about no charisma. But­ on MOTD when he talks the other pundits dont dispute­ his answer they always agree with him but he doesnt­ always agree with their analysis. He was the type of­ player who u knew if he had a clear shot on goal then­ it was going to fly in and he would do that crappy­ celebration. How can u guys talk about his charisma­ when u dont play professional football or even meet him­ in real life? LOL. Also MOTD is a lot of video­ analysis, and i know that managers inbetween matches in­ the EPL always use video to scout players or the next­ team etc.

I cant see Alan Shearer or any of the other so call­ match pundit, like Andy Gray or the other who talk­ rubbish week -in week -out on sky goin into management,­ take Andy Gray for example he sit after every game even­ if you win 3-0 or you lose 3-0 and directs on a­ moniotor that you should of done that or done this­ wasn't he offer a managerial role a couple years­ back. But instead he prefers to seat on skys couch and­ make easy money do you blame him i think Mr.Sheare will­ do the same.

If Shearer is the answer what the hell was the­ question?

shearer will be a disaster at the toon job, he should­ be under the guidance of somebody for a while first.­ kinnear is doin ok at the moment so why do you need to­ print this sort of thing?

Shearer? Joke! Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesborough­ all suffer from the same problem. They are in the North­ East, which means they have to pay more for average­ players to make them come to a really grim area of a­ grim country, we always slag of foreigners for wanting­ to play in London. Can you see our boys playing in­ regional towns in foreign countries?????

Everyone know's you have to be completely stupid to­ go and manage the 'toon and everybody knows that­ Shearer is the man for the job. It is a good job that­ Shearer has thus far proved not to be stupid :-)
