owen if fit and not injury prone and playing good

he would walk in that team easy

Rumour going round newcastle tonight shearer will be named newcastle boss the morra

Edit to say i have just realised tomorrows date!!!

that would be funny

Seems it may be true! On ssn now....

I hope not.

I dont think there could be a worse time for him to take over.

Especially with the idiots still running the club.

He'll be able to cut his teeth at a lower level and maybe take them in to the Prem.

Bolloxseems its true they will stay up now!! Grrrrrrr

Confirmed. I doubt Newcastle would be doing April's fools joke given their predicament. Stupid date to announce it though.

But his appointment and the wave it will create will be enough to win them a couple of home games.

Oh jeez im not sure what to make of this to be honest.

He's in a no lose situation i guess, lots of people expect us to get relegated, if we do, then nothing changed, if we stay up, then everyone will be happy.

I just think it's not the right time for him.

Saying that, i would rather have him as the manager. Someone who knows Newcastle, knows the club, loves the club, rather than people like Hughton, Kinnear, Calderwood, etc...

would he not keep the backroom staff on?

Yes, more than likely, but i mean, having them as 'acting manager'.

Much prefer to have him than the fore-mentioned.

At the minute we're absoloutely bloody nowhere. We can barely sink any lower, we have bugger all management so whats wrong with giving him a chance. This part of the season is back to the wall stuff, we needed a change desperately. We've shook it up, which is what we needed. Bloody brilliant for me

SHEARER, SHEARER, SHEARER!
