For Pools in the Current climate ie these so called credit crunch times.

As much as it would boil my pi$$ but if Ken were to ask his mate Shearer would you be please as it may

A) Add a 1000+ to everyhome game
B) IOR may spash the cash a bit on new signings not wanting MR S to fail .
C) Sponsors will possible double with more people wanting to put money into pools.

If he came would you think it would make sense in the current climate

I know you would lose fans if he was appointed but remember fans are forever managers come and go which Shearer would eventually do if he ever came either because he was good or he was bad.

Oh and i maybe talking shite aswell I generally do when i pi$$ed.

Theres no way Shearer would take the job


As long as it aint Clueless Tubby Turner than all is good.

Shearer has pretty much turned down newcastle and blackburn this season.

So the chance of him taking over at pools are slim to none.

Why? At the end of the day he will get the Newcastle job whatever he does if he is a success then all is good if he fails at Pools he will have enough PR people to blame it all on pools (even if he is Shite) for him still to take the mags jobs.

Might not want to go down the Keane Route more the Ince route.

not with his ego h99.

This is the geezer who had it in his contract that he had to be the highest paid player at newcastle no matter what.

His head wouldnt fit through the door at pools.

He's far too comfortable being on motd anyway, and can you blame him?

Nice fat wage watching top football, chill out during the week, do a few columns for a few papers.

Loving life, can't blame him.

The reason he turned down those clubs is because he's said he wanted managerial experience at a smaller club before losing face in the Premiershit, so those chances aren't exactly as low as you think. Granted, they're low.

I'd take him any day of the week. I'd rather see our club prosper with some Plastic Poolies than stagnate under some lower-league bloke doing the rounds

He hasn't passed all his coaching badges just to sit on the MOTD sofa talking shite with Hansen and Lawrenson has he?

He WILL start his managerial career at a lower league club and can anyone think of any other club he's more likely to start at than Pools?

Like H99 said, he will put 1000+ on the gate, he will bring decent players in and sponsors will be falling over themselves to have a part of the action. He'd also command respect off the players and i can't imagine him putting up with any shit off any player who thinks they are too big for the club. Also, the publicity the club would get would be national and constant.

He is the IDEAL candidate for the job, like it or not.

If IOR go down that road then it is taking us a step further.

I dislike Shearer with some intensity, but 3quid is right. Come to think of it, I dislike Newcastle intensely so I think I dislike Shearer by association.

I concur, and the painting in the Centenary Lounge would then have some relevance.

Two birds with one stone.

Does Shearer want to get involved in a Managers role..Pretty slow off the mark .. even the last few years off his playing career he was always unsure about giving another year...Just can't see him on the sidelines..

I just can't see him wanting the job to be honest

Do we want a ex player who just wants a club as a stepping stone to a bigger one?

If we're talking about hiring ex-players looking for their first coaching job, it'd be Deano for me every time. I just can't see the bloke not becoming a cracking manager - if that's what he wants of course.

yabba dabba doo!!

Alan Shearer on MotD: 'Well I don't know what to say, to be honest......'

Not a sure sign of a burgeoning media career......

He also had a go at Martin O Neill for still doing the same goal celebration.

Laughs all round in our household too for that one.

There's a lot of similarity in style between Shearer and Brian Robson.

You'd think footy managers would have to be good communicators.

Those two would bore the balls off a pawnbrokers shop front.

Neither of them will be any good at any level of mnanagement. Robson's already proved his case, Shearer would be exactly the same.

He hasn't passed all his coaching badges just to sit on the MOTD sofa talking shite with Hansen and Lawrenson has he?

Plus KH seems to hold him in high regard; Shearer wouldn't find a lower league club any nearer to his home; his MOTD contract will run out when ITV take over the football highlights (in the summer?); he would be in a no-lose situation as any failure would be the club's fault, not his, due to lack of money; there is the basis of a decent team who with a bit of motivation, playing players in their correct position, & strengthening could make the play-offs this season - which would look good on his cv.

Don't let personal views of Shearer & NUFC get in the way of possible progress.

Well said that man. Anyone against a Shearer appointment is totally radged. Fact.

Apart from those who have the opinion that he wouldn't be very good as a manager. He hasn't even done any coaching jobs of note.

He would be another Tony Adams for me

indeed, HOW important is the next managerial appointment?!!

It's very important, Salty.

Much more important than the last twenty or so.

Im radged then. Why do we want a manager using us as a stepping stone who we know will jump ship as soon as a chance comes?

I must be radged too,but the last thing I want to see is The Vic full oc twats in black & white shirts.

I want someone who is committed to Hartlepool and its future. Sherear would just be like Wilson and looking for something better all the time.

But we'd make a bit of money along the way. Plus if any manager comes in and does well then moves on to a bigger club aint they just looking after themselves, Its what Chris Turner did isnt it the first time round it all boils down to money at the end of the day.

Lets face it, we're not going to get someone who is totally committed unless it's someone internal such as Turner, Barron or Humphreys and as they are not experienced that won't (hopefully) be happening. Any manager we get will understandably leave if they get a better offer in, I'd sooner this happened than someone who is totally committed to HUFC but an inept manager.

Like Donkey Adams at Wycombe????

Then he finds he can't hack it and fooks of and gets a job with an old footballing buddy?

Dont get me wrong, i dont mind Alan Shearer, i think he was a top pro and one of the best forwards (proper forwards!!) England has produced, and seems a decent enough fella...........but can you imagine the hordes of fookin plastic mags turning up at the vic every fookin home match to worship the messiah?? No thanks.......i too am radged.

Can you imagine all the plastic mags pouring money into our club coming to watch us........

?

Im mean it as the club I support nothing else MR I

never featured in tonights game, not even on the bench, 'rested' they say...
