I see Mr Shearer has taken the managers job at Newcastle. Why has he done that when he is doomed to failure?
We read last week how professional Rafa is with his thousands of players on record, the video game collection from all over the world, the study into eating and fitness habits and a fanatical analysis of games, tactics, opposition etc.. of numerous scouts watching other teams and of a complete reorganisation of the youth set up and Melwood. Obviously Ure and other top clubs have a similar set up and even Moyes of the Blueshite has a coaching talent for buying shíte and getting them to score occasional goals when they´re not stacking the shelves.
Shearer has none of this set up behind him, talent to spot players with either short, medium or long term in view, nor the vision to create what Rafa has done at Liverpool. Most obvious of all, the lad doesnt have a single minute of football management experience on his CV.
This appointment is more indicative of how NUFC are lurching from one disaster to the next as, if they extend his job into next season but have to sack him, they will have pushed one of their greats out of the club from a job he took in a show of misguided loyalty.
They should have appointed Jewel, or Moyes and got a person in who knows about football management, as it is, poor old Shearer is only facing abject failure and he will be the biggest loser.
