[Archived] Shearer Next Newcastle Manager

[JAL]

Seen a projection that Newcastle United will make a loss of £50m next season.

Only Owen and Viduka are out of contract leaving 13 players each earning individually more than Newcastle's entire Championship TV rights are worth. Four players' contracts alone swallow up the parachute payment for next season.

Leeds, Leicester, Norwich, Southampton and Charlton have all gone Premier League to League One in three seasons or less within the last three years.

Grim in the Toon just now.

Looks like a one way ticket Philipl, hopefully Rovers management can protect themselves from this happening to Rovers.

Anyone taking these Newcastle players on their current wages would be extremely foolish, but then again it is a culture in Britain to reward failure.

Haven't read the last few pages, but weren't you one of the people defending Sam for playing a weak squad in the FA Cup? Speaking of no respect....

I said I could understand it, not that I agreed with it. Nor did it affect any teams relegation. Totally different.

Blimey American............ you are hard work sometimes.

[1864roverite]

Perhaps Nicko or Kamy can look into the claim from the North East that the barcodes have put 26 players on the transfer list including Owen, Viduka, smith, barton, enrique,collicini,ameobi,duff,bassong,butt and martins.

The only players of the current crop who wont be on the list

Nolan, Harper, Beye, Taylor and Taylor !

That is some firesale

Leeds, Doctors Warn Newcastle

[modes98]

Owen goes on a free, he is out of contract.

newcastle about to issue a statement from Mike Ashley, due shortly

Statement issued. Ashleyaccepts full responsibility for relegation.

Thanks the fans, apologises to staff, raved about Shearer - best decision he ever made. talks ongoing about the future.

[b12_simon]

Bwaah bwaaah bwaaaah. Sorry I c0cked it up. Our fans are great, our staff are great and Shearer's a great manager.

When will the laughter end?

[DE.]

What a rubbish statement. Pointing out the obvious, well done fatman.

[Tom]

not exactly orignal but this still made me laugh:

Blimey American............ you are hard work sometimes.

My wife tells me that all of the time!

This didn't affect any relegations either. Unfortunately, such is the power of United in the Premiership that their second team would probably finish top half and might even qualify for Europe.

Either way, both are examples of managing the full squad at your disposal - look at what happened to Everton playing a full squad - lost a couple of players for this weekend's final.

[Gav]

To the tune of Blaydon Races

They all went down to Birmingham

On the 24th of May

Hoping God would smile on them

Upon the Sabbath day

Proud as punch in stripey shirts

Cream of the Geordie nation

Ganning along to Villa Park

To see the relegation

Chorus:

Oh me lads, you should've seen them crying

Watching the shambles on the pitch

Premier dreams a'dying

All the lads and lasses there

All had gloomy faces

Ganning doon to the Championship

With aal of Shearer's aces

Now way back in September

They told a different tale

Old King Kev was back in charge

How could the buggers fail?

But then along came Dennis Wise

Who dared to travel norf

Kevin didn't like the tw*t

And quickly buggered orf!

Chorus

Oh me lads! I think they need a genie

Owen unfit, Xisco's sh*t and what of Collocini?

Given was a great keeper but left the sinking ship

And Harper will be canny good

Doon in the Championship

Now after Keegan scarpered

They all cried in their beer

But fear not, up next they got good old Joe Kinnear

He fecking came and fecking got the tw*ts to play their best

Then who'd a fecking thought it, fecking cardiac arrest

Chorus

Oh me lads, the bugger's in the Freeman

Ashley's scared to watch a game

The fans are all a steamin'

And I will not apologise for nasty tasteless quips

It'll do the buggers good to be doon in the championship

With poor Joe confined to bed

For his recuperation

They wondered who could be the man

To save the 'Geordie Nation'

Who could turn this team around

Before they turned to violence?

Hughton got the nod and came out

To the sound of silence

Chorus

Oh me lads!

I'm ganna chuck me seat

The mackems beat us at their place

And now we've had to cheat

Then aal the toon went on the hoy

And got themselves all plastered

And raised a glass to Taylor who's

A cheating diving b*stard!

Ashley looked around and saw the damage that they'd done

He'd lost a couple of hundred mill

For every game they'd won

He sank another pint in one

And had a revelation

Mary Poppins is the one

To save the Geordie Nation

Chorus

Oh me lads!

The Toon are aal but dead

Obafemi's injured (or at least that's what he said)

Ah can't believe with Alan boss

We haven't got much higher

Or is he just like Keegan

Just another false messiah

Chorus

Oh me lads!

The Toon are in the clarts

No more trips to Anfield

Now it's off to foreign parts

Tell aal the cheeky mackems

That this story isn't over

Follow the Toon Army AND..

We'll watch Doncaster Rovers!

Newcastle apparently have no relegation clauses in their players contracts, ROFLMAO, administration beckons. Isn't there wage bill in the 70M's, Shearer walked into an impossible situation but I'd like him to stay on at Newcastle. He can serve his apprenticeship there before coming to a big club like ROVERS!!!!!!

I've read on a Newcastle forum somewhere that if they have no drop in crowds then their projected turnover for next season will be between £50-60m, and also as you stated that the wage bill alone currently stands at over £70m.

I've just seen in the BBC gossip page that they have put a big price on Bassong (£15m), but they are in position to be dictating terms and if they don't realise that now they will do by the back end of the summer.

[EwoodGlory]

I heard yesterday regarding the Shearer and Ashley talks "they are a million miles apart". What a surprise

[Blue blood]

Read about the 15 million for Bassong, but given the player wants out (he said as much before they were relegated) and the club is in financial peril they'll be lucky to get half of that amount.

A slow start in the Championship next season could well finish them off.

Gav that song is class.

SSN saying a decision one way or the other today.

[leftfooter]

And doesn't he only have a year left on his contract?

[American]

We've said that about relegated players before (Defoe, Heskey, Pennant), but if a club holds on, they can get near the price they want.

Unless of course, it's true about having 1 year left...

[jodrell]

Does the big club Know what they are doing? N.O.W. reporting ALAN SHEARER is ready to quit Newcastle and take over at West Brom.

[EwoodGlory]

I've heard Shearer has been offered the Sheff Utd job, as Blackwell is soon to be axed.

I would expect Gary Speed could be his number 2 if it go's through.

[EwoodGlory]

They sneaked a win yesterday, but not sure it's enough to save Blackwell.

SHEARER IN FRAME FOR BLADES ROLE

Beckford is his first transfer target should it happen.

Shearer will not go unless he has a huge amount of money to spend. They've prob got a bob or two of WHU's burning their pockets but Shearers not good enough to do that wisely, and imo he's not managerial material either. He has no experience of the lower leagues. We've seen all this crap before with Roy Keane, Paul Ince, Bryan Robson etc..... even as far back as Bobby Charlton at PNE! This could break Sheff Utd if it all goes tits up.
