oh forget all this shite about him being talked into postponing his retirement for another year.

He's after beating Milburn's number of goals for the club.

Obvious he isn't going to do it this season, so why not get a few of his dodgy penalties at the start of the new one, and get all the headlines.

What a load of bollocks. Selfish bastard with an arrogant club.

Still, a very intelligent and interesting bloke he is.

Sid.

are you a mate of his then

Egotistical wanker.........and a dirty bastard off the ball. Great goal scorer, but all elbows in the air, and who remembers when he lashed out at Neil Lennon at Leicester a few years back, but because he was England capatain, got away with it.
He wants the record, but he'll never be reverred like Wor Jackie Milburn

Never mind him staying on for another year as a player

Whats truly frightening is the thought of Alan Shearer retiring as a player and becoming the Manager.Has disaster written all over it

If the likes of a Bobby Robson with impeccable credentials can't get Newcastle silverware.Even kevin Keegan had tasted success at other clubs before accepting the poisoned chalice so what hope a Greenhorn

Great players do NOT always make great managers, funnily enough, bog-standard players make great managers if you look at Sam Allardyce, Jose Mourinho and Alex Ferguson......all 'reasonable' players at best.
I think Roy Keane will excel in management, but him aside, not many out there that can cut the mustard. I thought Tony Adams would have been good, but he was shite. Buttsie is right about Shearer, he will fail too

Ace/Buttsie you are right. The sad thing is it 'Only' matters to the fans. These guys in management get salaries and termination payments so large the earn in a year what most of us take 8 to earn and then get 6-12 months salary to go. Talk about failure is it's own reward

Funny you should say that Ace, I also think Keane will make a good manager, but he needs a period away from the game first, and god help the young talented thing thats questions his tactics....." ya fuckin wat?.....Nut...Nut.....

Star Players are best used in what they excelled Technique/Playing Skills
So Shearer if he's to have any role at Newcastle after playing should only be taken on as a specialist coach for the strikers in the squad IMHO

Being a Manager in the Premiership is more about massaging EGOs
with an eye towards totoal team cohesion

I wonder how Souness is handling the Dyer/Bowyer love fest?

So yet another season goes by without Alan Shearer winning anything. I bet he really regrets not joining Manchester United when he had the chance.

The thing that makes me laugh and leaves me puzzled is when commentators and journalists describe Shearer?s career as ?distinguished? or ?illustrious?. I would hardly call one championship medal, 10 years ago, and a less-than-one-goal-every-other-game for England as an illustrious or distinguished career. If so, what would one call the careers of the older Manchester United players or the likes of Zinedine Zidane or Thierry Henry and Patrick Vierra?

As for staying for another season to break Jackie Milburn?s record, I can?t see anything to write home about there either. It?s all totally irrelevant if you don?t win your club anything. Anyway, if you want to be pedantic Milburn?s record still carries more clout because at least he won things with Newcastle and still scored over 200 goals without the luxury of having the two extra tournaments (European and League Cup competitions) that Shearer has had.

Shearer is a good player but that?s it. He?s not a great player and certainly not world-class as some people would have him described.

Considering what a so called star he has been he has virtually fuck all in his trophy cabinet. Compare it to lesser players such as the Nevilles at Man U. He is rich in cash but very poor in the medal stakes. Thing is NUFC could still sell his turds in the club shop for ?100 a kilo!
