So much for the recent 'support' of the executive at Newcastle :eek:

On sky sports news now.

He did a terrible job to be fair. But then again Newcastle have been a shambles of a club for a good few years now. Wonder who they'll go after now.

Pepe LeFrits · 09-01-2008 06:51PM

ahaha!

It couldn't happen to a nicer fella.

The Newcastle circus rolls on.

Dr Galen · 09-01-2008 06:52PM

sky sports are confirming he;s gone........the usual mutual consent type of thing

Bounty Hunter · 09-01-2008 06:52PM

Shearer next?

Dr Galen · 09-01-2008 06:52PM

shearer

Pepe LeFrits · 09-01-2008 06:53PM

Shearer would probably take Newcastle to the Championship.

AnCapaillMor · 09-01-2008 06:53PM

What pepe said, how people even considered him for the england job i'll never know.

I can't wait to watch his downfall. It's going to be great.

For the love of God. Will they ever learn? I know he's done badly, but christ he's only been there a few months!

Why are the Geordies so convinced Shearer will be a success? He has zero experience..

Nuts...

Morf · 09-01-2008 07:01PM

I didn't want Big Sam but i certainly don't want Shearer either.

Unearthly · 09-01-2008 07:05PM

Mid table squad, mid table at the moment. Few of his performances were absymal, but I reckon he would of turned it around. Let them go hire Shearer as it sure will be entertaining from a neutral point of view.

radiospan · 09-01-2008 07:07PM

Baffled at this

AnCapaillMor · 09-01-2008 07:08PM

Keegan.

besty · 09-01-2008 07:15PM

Mistake from Mike Ashley imo. Who out there is a genuine and realistic candidate better than Allardyce with similar Premiership experience?

PHB · 09-01-2008 07:16PM

Jesus christ, Newcastle have to be the worst run club in the country. Clubs will be falling over themselves to take big Sam on, but I don't think he's gona get another shot at a 'big' club, i.e. one with a large stadium.

Please god hire Shearer, it'll be hilarious

I bet Al-Fayed is slightly sickened he didn't wait another few weeks to sack Sanchez and get in Allardyce.

I think Luton hold that honour

.

Its a farce if Shearer becomes manager.

artanevilla · 09-01-2008 07:20PM

The Ireland job is still up for grabs...

Savman · 09-01-2008 07:22PM

FFS. Absolute farce of a club. Allardyce will not have trouble finding work, everyone in the footballing world knows how impossible that Newcastle job is, I dunno what they expect in his first season.

snickerpuss · 09-01-2008 07:23PM

I can't believe this, although if you know newcastle you'll know that once the board give you their full support you're done for.
Maybe it would just be better to appoint Shearer, let him fail horribly, and get on with it.

I'm a little gutted, we're idiots, and I don't even have Freddy Shepard to blame anymore!

One Cold Hand · 09-01-2008 07:26PM

Shearer = the Staunton of Ireland

What are they thinking. No one in their right mind is gonna take the Newcastle job. How can they only give him half a season? I know they're not playing great but they're within striking distance of the top half. If he'd been allowed buy a few players in the window they could have pushed on. Look at the quality of players he managed to entice to Bolton.

Bad timing for Sam, cant see any more prem jobs coming up for a while with the amount that have already let people go. Best he can prob hope for is Boro to sack Gareth. And before anyone mentions Liverpool, No. Just..No.

Attractive Nun · 09-01-2008 07:29PM

Joey Barton for the Newcastle job.

Lots will 3 or 4 year contract who needs job safety when 4 years wages for only 6 months work is on offer.

Big Sam paid a lot of money for those big names at bolton no transfer but large signing on fees and big weekly wages, Campo went up in money from Real to Bolton :eek:

I also hope shearer gets it, sunderland derby in the championship would be class

If Shearer is the Staunton of Ireland, what is Staunton? The Staunton of Mexico?

More importantly, who is the Staunton of Newcastle?

Chong · 09-01-2008 07:39PM

Bring back Keegan, lets be fair he is the only one to do a good job there.

Oh and he is out of work.

Big Sam Sacked?!?
