Guest Stevie Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 There's no right or wrong answer although some of you probably think there is. Who would you prefer as manager at this stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 11067 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Shearer. I think going back to Keegan would be foolish. He's a great man in my eyes and certainly if there could be a role for him att he club I'd like for that to happen. But Shearer has the opportunity to gain experience in a lower league against lesser opposition, he's got the chance of a new owner (hopefully) and with that, a fresh start. He could build his team, playing to his ethos. He's more in touch with the modern game imo and he'd (perversely) have less of a burden of expectation about his ability to manage us. Also he's the messiah and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I have grave and unwieldy doubts about AS as a manager at this time. The circumstances need to be different for him to succeed IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 My instinct was to say Shearer, but then I realised, that was just because i'm sick of people taking the piss. It would be complete and utter lunacy for Keegan to come back a third time, whoever was in charge. It would all end in tears again, whether he walked or got sacked and we'd be a laughing stock again. But I voted for Keegan, because he's better than Shearer and who gives a fuck what a Mackem thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had an owner that wasn't a complete fuckwit, actually had a bit of cash to spend and didn't allow Dennis Wise to pick players over Keegan...... we'd also be in the Premiership again.

Besty 4 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Thing is though, Keegan is clearly a good manager, we we're doing well up until he left and under any other circumstances he still would've been here, and we would've still been a Premiership club.

The man is a genius and has a good football heart. The 1-1 draw was canny too.... One match, a draw at that, is enough to convince you? Typical Parky. What about the following drab 1-0 win scraping win at home to Bolton and his last game, a 3-0 defeat at Arsenal? I wasn't convinced. Imo Keegan's love of football is not what it was, I'd prefer a fresh change be that Shearer or someone else. Can anyone name an example of a manager exceeding himself on returning to a club, especially after a gap of 12 years (I'm not going to count his last stint because it was impossible to judge imo)? I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. You say that like it was a bad result. Keegan got 4 points from 3 games. (1.33 points per game - 66% versus top half) (Man U, Arsenal, Bolton) Kinnear got 20 points from 18 games. (0.9 points per game - 50% versus top half) (Liverpool, Chelsea, Everton, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Fulham, West Ham, Man Cityx2, Mackemsx2, West Brom, Wiganx2, Boro, Stoke, Portsmouth, Blackburn) Shearer got 5 points from 8 games. (0.625 points per game - 62% versus top half) (Chelsea, Liverpool, Villa, Spurs, Fulham, Portsmouth, Stoke, Boro) Hughton & Calderwood got 5 points from 9 games.

TheMoog 0 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 That's a hard one, there's pros and cons of each: Shearer - Pros: Probable long term manager, discipline, a level head. Cons: Unproven. Keegan - Pros: Total excitability, motivation, good with transfers. Cons: Temperamental. Jeez, what a choice! We'd get mocked stupid but I can't help thinking that even though I do want to see Shearer as manager at some point I couldn't possibly turn down the chance to have that excitement Keegan brings in again, I've never truly loved being a Newcastle fan as much as when the Keegler's in charge.
