Guest Hova Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 In giving Shearer a monthly rolling contract until a takeover is through. Fucking hell he'd probably do it for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 He wouldn't like, given the club probably won't even be sold. And the problem is he'd want written assurances which the regime just won't give imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7311 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Cos hed be after £200k pm and Ashley would rather fuck us over and keep the cash in his pocket. Its purely about minimising losses for him at the miute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hova Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) He wouldn't like, given the club probably won't even be sold. And the problem is he'd want written assurances which the regime just won't give imo. Surely assurances in the short term wouldn't be massively essential, because being able to do anything right now would be a big improvement on what is currently going on. He can kick and scream about assurances and budgets etc, but in perspective, just some leadership whilst this is ongoing would be beneficial for both the club, and Shearer if/when he is finally appointed full time.

I assume Shearer would want to be successful if he took the job. And I'm guessing he couldn't rely on getting appointed full time, anything could happen with the club in the next 3 weeks.

Why make himself a fall guy though? What's in it for him? Just taking the job with no assurances (even in the short-term) does very little for him or the club. I think J69 is right though in that they wouldn't want to pay his wages too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I would have thought a rolling contract would have been a good compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's surely the best for both parties, as the team rebuilding begins which is good for Shearer when he does eventually get the job as it gives him a head start (so to speak) and makes the club a more attractive proposition to potential buyers when they can see that small progress is actually being made, and that the playing staff at the club aren't releasing statements daily about wanting to go because they're so pissed off with things. Can this rumoured overdraft not pay for his wages, short term? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 6 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Given the sale is unlikely to go through or at least drag on until the start of the season. Shearer would be a fool not to want to get in and asses the players condition and get the players into his routine. And Ashley would be a fool not to have a plan-b. Also, contracts can carry caveats, so I'm sure Shearer and Ashley can get an agree together. If nothing else it would boost seasopn ticket sales.

peasepud 59 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Why dont you all club together and pay his wages? [/baldy from the Times] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31582 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Even if he was in charge his hands would be severely tied. OF course he can come in and direct the training but it would be impossible for him to do any sort of meaningful planning for the forthcoming season while he has no idea who he'll be able to keep or who he'll be able to bring in.

Getting the players into his routine, assessing the squad (fitness, weaknesses and mental state) and speaking to agents regarding possible transfer (IN and OUT) can all be done. Going into the job cold in August isn't a good plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggiespaws 0 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 On top of everything though, in seriousness what player in their right mind is going to come to a club where the current players are saying "I want out, this is shit"? This is one of our biggest problems imo. We have no chance in preparing/strengthening for the coming season as all our current players want out. They'll be sold for peanuts because everyone knows we can't command shit for players who clearly want out; let alone keep funding their wages. We'll have feck all to invest in the squad - not that it will matter because this will be yet another transfer window where we will ultimately make money. MA will pocket it all and we will be left with an unprepared, under-strength squad; no manager; no plan and as ever - no fucking idea what's going to happen next. I have more chance of getting a shag off Keeley Hawkes than NUFC have of bouncing back up next season. *Mind you, if I was given the choice of the two, we'd probably still be a championship club next season Soopafan I am not :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
