He had the chance to be taught by Bobby Robson, the ex England Manager, but declined it. Again he could have been taught a lot by Kevin Keegan. He rejected that also.

Here then we make the big error,some class players make Managers,Keane,Ince,Southgate,but they are the exception to the rule.C/F Fergie,Wenger,Scolari,Benitez, and many more great Managers who were mediocre players. Alf Ramsey to me is the classic.

With Shearer, he will do anything to hog the limelight, that is wrong. At every event he will poke his nose in. The so-called myth is just an explayer working for the BBC at Wood Lane. You all seem to forget one crucial thing. He has no experience. And Newcastle is a big club.
You cannot teach experience,you must earn it as you do when you leave school and enter the Uni: of the World.

I can teach you to drive, but I cannot teach you experience!

With Shearer I would like to see him at the helm of the Magpies, and I think he will face the moment of truth, and only then.Then we can put him in the past and get on with the future.

Ashley really needs Kevin Keegan more than ever now if he wants to sell the Magpies, because the potential buyers are not only looking at the books, but want to talk to the Manager,their furture Manager and see the way it is going to go.

One question:: Would you buy a business if the potential Manager had never ran it before,and relied on some past good time keeping?????????????????????
