its really getting more and more difficult for the lower rungs teams these days, without the ECL there is no way they can compete with the bigger budget teams, also survival in EPL is so important as income from the TV rights is so huge between the EPL and Championship that makes the club chairman tigger happy once their team don't perform and even then once the manager did well alot of slightly bigger clubs will try to headhunt them hence making it worst for the smaller team.

Shearer IMHO, is not ready to be a manager yet, he might have been a great player but without proving himself by getting a job in the lower division with a lesser team i doubt he'll be willing to risk his status in Newcastle if he fails to turn them aroundOriginally posted by 798:i feel most fans will want shearer be their coach. too bad even shearer is too chicken to take over. -

The thing is that Shearer is the man his club needs. He is a Geordie lad, and his lifelong dream was to play for NUFC. He has the respect from the club's supporters and younger players. -
nvr expect keegan could hold the job so long.Originally posted by iveco:Don't forget Kevin Keegan who managed the Magpies from 1992-97.
maybe newcastle need him back! -
Shearer might be the choice of the supporters but whether he is ready for the job is another thing all together.. and i kind of have a feeling that he will not be willing to risk his status with the Geordies fans if he fail to bring them forward..Originally posted by iveco:The thing is that Shearer is the man his club needs.

expectations of newcastle are too high to be honest..

Fact: Alan Shearer is the man Newcastle wants.
Fact: Alan Shearer do not have the experience or know-how to succeed.
True, fans and the young players would look up to him, but tactical know-hows and experiences when the chips are down are the 2 more important factors in looking for a manager. Shearer has neither yet as a manager, and besides, Kevin Keegan would be a more suitable choice. -
Then why not get Alan in and ask Keegan to be an adviser or assistant or technical director. Just like what chelsea did, got Grant as a fatherly leader, then hv another dutch guy (dunno his name) to come in to help out in the know how sideOriginally posted by nanren4ever:Fact: Alan Shearer is the man Newcastle wants.

thats easier say then done, high profile managers ain't keen to be in such a role, also when there is a crush in opinion then who's going to make the final decision?
these days due to the fear of losing out on the prize money from playing in Europe and EPL owners tends cut the rot at the slightest momment their team fails to stay within comfort zone on the table, its like what the former Nottingham Forest's manager famous words.. "who says football is a matter of life and dead... its bigger then that!!" -
Latest news from ESPNsoccernet
Gerard Houllier has been given the green light by his current employers to succeed Sam Allardyce as Newcastle United manager.
The former Liverpool boss, who is currently the French Football Federation's technical director, has emerged as one of the frontrunners for the vacancy at St James' Park in recent days.
FFF president Jean-Pierre Escalette told the Daily Express: 'I would not stand in Gerard's way if there was something else he wanted to do. I am not surprised he gets offers.
'He turned one or two down to rejoin us and they were better financially than we could offer him.'
Sources on Tyneside have suggested the Houllier's name is on a short-list of candidates to replace Sam Allardyce, and that he could form a partnership with Geordie hero Alan Shearer.
Houllier would certainly fit the profile drawn up by the club in the immediate aftermath of Allardyce's departure last Wednesday evening with his immense experience and proven track record.
However, the city's evening newspaper, the Evening Chronicle, is reporting that he and 37-year-old Shearer, who has never been too far away from the top of the betting in the last week, would be happy to work together.
The former Magpies and England skipper has found himself touted both as the man to take over in his own right, or in partnership with Kevin Keegan, with both options receiving popular support.
But whether Shearer and Keegan, the man who paid Blackburn £15million for his services back in 1996, would be willing to work together seems uncertain.
But the Houllier-Shearer option is one which was received warmly on Tyneside as the news emerged with the prospect of a combination of a high-class manager and a man long touted as a future saviour meeting approval.
Shearer was diplomatic as he arrived back on Tyneside from his holiday in Barbados on Tuesday morning.
Asked if he wanted the Newcastle job, he replied: 'Am I wanting it? One day, hopefully.'
Questioned further about the possibility of him linking up with Keegan, he said: 'I haven't spoken to Kevin for a long time. We will have to see.'
Shearer was not the only significant figure in the Newcastle saga arriving back in the country today with owner Mike Ashley due back from a trip to Hong Kong.
However, in his absence, chairman Chris Mort has continued to work behind the scenes in the wake of Harry Redknapp's withdrawal from the race to succeed Allardyce.
Club insiders insist several candidates are under consideration - Blackburn's Mark Hughes continues to be mentioned - but with a must-win Premier League clash with Bolton to follow Wednesday night's FA Cup third round replay against Stoke, time is of the essence. -
better keegan than shearer.
