Stevo the Villan said:It's Kevin Keegan all over again! Why would they want to offer him a longer deal. Ok they may have been f*d anyway, but he still relegated the club. 1 win in 8 games!
All the toon fans are saying "if only he'd been here since January!". O right, if only? Then you would have got 2 wins in 16.
They'd be much better off giving the job to someone who's got a team promoted in the past, Boothroyd for example. The only thing Shearer has going for him is Dowie, who has done it before. I'd be inclined to sack shearer off and give it to Ian instead.
As for Newcastle in general, I was relishing sending them down and I couldn't be happier that we did it. THey were chanting "You're just a town full of Pakis" at the end of the game on Sunday. The league is better off without those deluded pricks.
I thought he could get 2 wins and be acclaimed the new messiah, but it seems he's the new messiah even though he got them relegated. :mrgreen:
Oh well, we won't see them around for some time, I suspect.
