A ridiculously short time to try and turn round a team :evil: , I'd have him at HEARTS in a second!.
Good luck to him.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Good. The fat, ugly looking bastard. :evil: He should have stayed at Bolton where he was doing a good job bringing them back to the championship.

I bet John Aldridge has got a very big smile on his face tonight. ;D

& so they reckon Harry Rednap will replace him.
Yet the fans want Mr Shearer at the helm.

I think I'd give big Al a go. He did all his exams after all. Shame to see all that swotting go to waste.

I hope whoever the barcodes get continues the good work of the last 50 odd years, and keeps them trophy and success-free. Indeed it would be quite beautiful if it was Shearer who took them down to the championship.

Thanks, Planet Dave!! Thats lovely! :D
But seriously, it's a crazy situation when he's had so little time.

I met quite a few of the backroom staff last week and they were just getting into the swing of the new regime, new ways of doing things his way. They were all pissed off at the results, but as Sam said, it was going to take a few years.

I just don't know where the next in the merry-go-round is going to come from...

By the way, I'm not seeking sympathy! 8)

What did he expect after getting the Vote Of Confidence the other week? :eek:

Me? Couldn't give a stuff. Lucky escape for England.

How many Prem managers is that to have been axed this season? Far too many I guess. I do agree that 24 games is ridiculous. You'd think that owners / chairmen / suits would have enough about them to look at the correlation between the two longest serving managers and the two most successful clubs over the last few years. Obviously not. That said, when SAF finally retires, I'd expect nothing less from United's current owners. Now THAT is a depressing thought.

Keegan as the new old boss! Fantastic. And face-ache is clearly gutted, and still sniffing round for a job, you couldn't make it up. Random shearer quote 'well, it is my club'. Erm, sorry? I could've sworn it belongs to that Mr Ashley. The barcodes have once again overtaken looneypool as the most amusing club in the UK. Good work boys.

Keegan. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Keegan or not, it must be great to support a team who can get a fuckin' manager :roll: :evil:

I'll be expecting a few 7-8 results at St James' Park from now on.

I'd love it :wink:

Apparently he's got a 'blank cheque' to spend on 'the best players in the world'. Surely this misses the point somewhat - who the fck is gonna want to go play for a side who mean the square root of bugger all to anyone outside of the UK. Same with city, every week there's some embarrassed player saying they've turned down the chance to go play for them. Face it also-rans, if you ain't in the 'Big Four' (how I hate it that the Prem has come to that), the best players from abroad just aren't interested.

Still, they've got Smiffy, if he's still putting it about then at least they've something to build on. Watch keegan sell him.
