sr.nelson your comments are quite accurate in my­ opinion. i'm a blackburn rovers fan and although i­ have wished the baggies bad fortune after shearer moved­ to newcastle and then saw souness bail out when things­ looked black for brfc, a small club that will always­ struggle to remain in the premier twenty, it will be­ sad to see them go down, if they do.

i for one will­ always appreciate the results shearer led the 1995­ rovers squad to, especially as jack walker was still­ alive to see them at the top of the league. for that­ reason alone, i hope alan stays on the tyne.

sadly, i­ also follow the detroit lions in the american football­ league, the nfl. last year the lions managed to make­ history. they were the first team in nfl history to­ lose all sixteen league games.

the lions descended to­ this sorry state in large part to the ***** general­ manager. i doubt ashley will leave unless he is fired.­ and unless he does, nothing shearer can do will make­ any difference in my opinion.

i truly hope alan will­ remain and be empowered to make the decisions on­ personal that any manager must have for a club to be­ successful. the baggies' fans deserve nothing­ less.

good luck newcastle; and the blackburn rovers­ too for that matter.

Looky here. Everybody knows that even­ Keegan's­ appointment was a bad decision on­ Ashley's part,­ but If Ashley had left Keegan to do­ his job without­ interference from the board room, and­ the appointment­ of ( we all despise ) Wise, then we­ wouldn't be in­ the mess we're in today. Ashley­ should have let­ Keegan sell the players he wanted to­ sell, keep the­ players he wanted to keep, and invested­ an addition 15­ to 20 mil for further player recruitment­ with a view­ towards making any necessary changes in the­ January­ transfer window. By that I mean, let players­ who want­ to move on leave the club, get rid of some­ dead wood (­ from a position of strength, not­ desperation ), and­ bring in a few players who can do a­ job for the club.­ Also, try to bring down the average­ age of the 1st­ team.

Now, however, Ashley must face up­ to the­ consequences of his mismanagement. I've­ heard it­ said that a team is only as good as it's­ worst­ player. For me, Ashley is the weakest link. Just­ like­ his predecessor, Shepherd, Ashley doesn't have­­ what it takes to run a football at this level.­­ There's men all over the EPL who run football­ clubs­ with more success than Ashley, with fewer­ resources them ( like 46 thousand season ticket­ holders),­ because they know their place and their­ limitations.­ Ashley just doesn't inspire people,­ and he comes­ across as being dodgy and arrogant. He­ seems to be in­ the game for all the wrong­ reasons.

This is the least­ Mike Ashley needs to do.­ Openly apologise to the­ supporters of NUFC, appoint a­ managing director who­ knows the game, to run the club­ on his behalf - I mean,­ somebody with charisma like a­ Niall Quinn, and then get­ a manager who is going to at­ least set the club up with­ the right foundations for­ the future stability we need.­ Then what you've got­ to do Mr Ashley is, get your­ face out of the picture­ and let the people who know what they're doing run­ our football club.

impactclean,
you're new here aren't you - just­ had the internet re-connected have we, under yet­ another alias you tramp?
just come out of jail have­ we?
or are you some old douchbag with a new ID?
Either­ way, you're a bore, i've heard it all like­ yesterday!!!!
Now i hope you are feeling priveleged­ because this is the 2nd time i've acknowledged your­ utterly juvenile (and dated) comments, usually mugs­ like you get the kiss off after one!
Anyway, i will­ leave you with this my friend . . . . . . . ta-ta, and­ i hope you have a horrible and nasty life; oh and­ please, please do not be foolish enough to think that i­ will ever acknowledge you a 3rd time, so do your worst­ pal, post whatever you like - it'll be hidden soon­ enough!!!
As for Shearer staying; of course he's­ staying - he knows it and we know it.
He's the man­ to sort this club out; we fans need to be patient­ though as this is a massive job he's got on his­ hands. An entire new squad is required, and that takes­ time; if relegated, we may take 2, 3 even 4 years to­ get back . . . . but we MUST be patient!

Comment 9, your chat up lines are cr*p

"Que Sera, Sera"

he sould stay he doing a good job

shearer should stay.....he do the great job...even he­ goes down or stay....newcasle should sign him..

Newcastle were in big trouble even before Shearer took­ over, he should be given a chance to prove himself next­ season.

shearer will stay and turn this football club around­ even if we go down

These quotes were made at the weekend. It's nearly­ the next weekend now. News?
