THE STRANGE SIDE OF FOOTBALL

Our club are apparently courting the services of Alan Shearer, a man who would want a huge wage salary of up to £1 million and a budget to suit, took his beloved Newcastle down to the Championship then on the other hand we have Chris Hughton who would love the job at City, would want a quarter of the price, £250k, and took Newcastle back up at the first attempt and was doing a pretty decent job before being unfairly sacked.

All rather strange if you ask me, what's your opinion ?

What a complete waste of Money

We could probably have got O neil for that

Shearer what a waste of cash

Carl, maybe we will get him as a player

Shearer only took over at Necastle cos Hughton had already fucked up.

how is there supposed to be an announcement today then?

This has to be a joke??

Nothing strange Carl, its just proves the incompetence of GJ & Co

jesus wept, if shearer is the manager ahead of the quality candidates that have put there name forward then theres no hope for the club, might as well give the job to leighton james

shearer is a legend and took over at newcastle when they were almost down anyway! ... if you cant play for a man like shearer you cant play for anyone! ... if he gets the job i`d be more than happy but not for big money! ... 250k a year take it or leave it!

IF the malaysians appoint Shearer (and I emphasise IF), then I truly believe that TG and VT do not have our clubs best interests at heart. The reasons being an accumulation of everything mentioned on this forum today - high demands, poor and brief track record, overlooking better but lesser known candidates.

shearer was manager before hughton

Omg that would be shit

so any chance of us getting a manager before the season starts this is getting pathetic now ffs

What a idiotic appointment that would be! It would lower expectations, divide fans more than DJ did and what do they see in him that could possibly bring success Is GJ an idiot or something

As i said in an earlier post, we [CCAFC] have a recent history of turning down a person who really, genuinely wanted the the City job. Can we afford to make the wrong mistake again??? I don't know, all i know is i'm not going to be around in another FIFTY years to find out!!!

shearer was manager before hughton

Keegan, JFK then Hughton then to Shearer and then back to Hughton.

yes just had a look, hughton managed them for 20 days, and 3 games in the september, although he managed to lose all 3 its hardly worth a mention tbh

Id have Shearer If we didnt have to build a squad maybe, but there we go.
Hope he doesnt get the job

Didn't Shearer and Bellamy have a major fallout over a text message.

If this is true I fear Craig may well be looking for another club this coming season.

Shearer or Bellamy

As already mentioned, if Shearer comes then forget about Bellamy joining.

Surely AS isn't going to be our manager?

Saying that, the Malaysians want a big name to boost us in Malaysia..

If Shearer got the job down here, I would think there will be extra police down here on the beat and Ambulance waiting hotspots due to the high alert of possible suicide attempts!!

All of the managers that have been named on here had to start somewhere. At Newcastle Shearer had an almost impossible job, if you remember at the time Mike Ashley was trying to sell everything.

He wouldn't be my choice, but given a decent fist of things, he may be the next big thing and if he is appointed we should all get behind him and not find ourselves in the same situation that we've had for the last year or so (totally divided)

I'm happy with Alan. We need a name.
If he comes it will mean he’s got a decent budget.
He'll also attract players to the club who would otherwise go elsewhere.
Remember we had an experienced manager, look where that got us.

For god sake cant gethin make a bloody desicion!! its a joke, if its shearer we can forget about bellamy!! the guys hate each other!! sure thats why he lefty newcastle!!

A big name like shearer means we should have a big budget,that is the only positive thought i have if shearer gets the job

Can't understand why we would pay an untried and untested manager £1m. Don't we ever learn ffs! This cannot be true. Mackay is an excellent candidate and we'd get him on the cheap. He is intelligent, has a good work ethic and is a strong believer in discipline.....AND HE KNOWS HOW AN ACADEMY SHOULD BE RUN. We need some one who will look after the future of our Club.

Could be a positive lads. A huge positive.
A statement of intent that the board mean business.
To bring on a manager at that expense and that reputation (granted as a player but still) shows they are willing to speculate.

Still cant see it happening though......

Gethin Jenkins hasn't got a f*cking clue how to run a football club he may aswell stick to rugby

What the f**k's happened to Malky ?

What the f**k's happened to Malky ?

well as ive said multiple times, he got back from holiday yesterday and has not had an interview. the only contact with the club has been via his agent. graham taylor has said repeatedly that there has been no approach and this still stands. also the tone of graham taylor in the newspaper today suggests he would be surprised to see mackay move. malky had a meeting today with our new head of football too.

i kind of feel sorry for all the people who have lumped on mackay at this point. if it does not come of that is a lot of money to throw at the bookies.

Listen I've not gambled a single penny on him being our next manager - I just really hope that he will somehow get the job.

Also, are you Watford's version of Carl ? You seem to know everything ! I've not seen anything about a meeting with your new head of football either (isn't head of football the 'manager', who is currently Mackay? ).
