Shearer isn’t Newcastle’s (April) Fool
Posted by cjhall31 on April 2, 2009
So, it wasn’t the funniest, most superbly orchestrated joke ever to cross the world of football (well, apart from Eric Djemba-Djemba). Alan Shearer really is taking control at Newcastle United, but ONLY until the end of the season, they are at pains to point out. To me that means if this new messiah saves the toon, he will definitely stay. No doubt about it; mark my words, there will be a clause in the contract leaving the door wide open.

He’d be a mug to stay, surely? Take them down and he leaves with his reputation untarnished, keep them up and he takes the money and runs – what would happen with the same squad next season?
I think the Trevor Brooking template will be followed here. I’d be amazed if he was manager next season.
