I FEEL MORE SORRY FOR SOUTHGATE THAN SHEARER

What does Mike Ashley really think he was going to achieve by appointing Alan Shearer as manager?

I don't mean to sound negative about it but come on he's not really a Harry Redknapp is he?

The only thing i think Alan Shearer will bring to Newcastle at this moment in time is probably more shirt sales.

I have the most utter respect for Shearer and ever thing that he has achieved in his career but to think you can just walk in and turn things around at a club that's run more like a circus than a football club then your living with your head in the clouds.

Somehow Mike Ashley has diverted the attention from him making a mockery of the Toon to Alan Shearer saving them from relegation and if he doesn't save them then the storm will be hell of alot worse for Ashley.

Ashley needs to cast his eye over to the Riverside and take a look at Middlesbrough, They have been up against it for the last couple of seasons now and what do they do? get on with it. Gareth Southgate has got to play Arsenal and then Manchester United and then of course Newcastle and the way things are going he could well pick up something at St. James park and drop the Toon even further in the mere.

Alan Shearer i hope you save them, and i hope i end up with egg on my face but as you look at it from afar it just doesn't look good at all.
