Until Shearer becomes the manager, everyone else before is just
warming up the seat. Newcastle fans wanted him to be the manager
just because he is a local-born and bred, and that as a player, he
has scored many goals. But how many trophies did he win for them as
a player? And isn't the lack of trophies a sore point with the
Newcastle fans? My point is, Newcastle have a bunch of fans(not
all) who are romantics, but not really in touch with reality(same
problem as we have at Liverpool)
In the first place, I am not even sure Shearer has got the
qualifications required by the EPL to be the manager. If Shearer is
smart, he should take up a post at Newcastle now offered by Keagan,
and learn as much as he should/could, and pick up the necessary
coaching badges, so that he would be ready to take over
eventually.
