Oh those mad Geordies eh? Emotional Kevin Keegan has walked out on his beloved team, the club he almost won the league with, leaving Newcastle fans debating whether to show up for their next home match against Hull.
Alan Shearer, a man famed for turning down United to play out 10 trophyless years with Newcastle, has spoken out about his distress.
“This is a very sad situation and Newcastle are in the headlines for the wrong reasons again,” he solemnly said. “Like everyone else, I just don’t know when this will end. And people have been asking this for a long time. It seemed it was ending with a big-money owner coming in and the return of the manager everyone wanted in Kevin. They had a man there in Kevin who cared so passionately about the football club. There are 52,000 supporters there every week and he is on their wavelength. He is one of them and they worship the ground he walks on. He can walk away with his head held high, because he did a decent job. But a great opportunity has been missed here. That is very sad.”
Sadly, Shearer is talking bollocks. In Newcastle’s only home game of the season so far, only 47,000 fans showed up. Not looking good for the ol barcodes. Aww.

I agree with Kevin Keegan in one way – I f*cking hate Dennis Wise. I always have. Along with Ashley Cole, I can’t think of anybody in the world of football I dislike more. I would love to throttle the little sh1t with piano wire and I would love it, LOVE IT!.. if the ‘long suffering’ 47000 or so stormed the ground and lynched the nasty little twat from the nearest gas lantern.
I was thinking about Alan Shearer earlier, as you do, I don’t want to be one seen as being harsh on him for turning down United. He stayed loyal to his club, something we take pride in some of our players, Wes Brown, Ole, Scholes.. etc.
Obviously Manchester United are a far bigger club with a far better team, so staying in the team is more difficult but I guess staying loyal to a Club like Newcastle that always disappoints can’t be easy.
I was also a bit gutted by Keegans departure, maybe in the circumstances it seems even worse or maybe because KK is just so funny to watch on Match of The Day every week!
Shearer has had the chance to take the job before he doesn;t have the bottle as for wise, that odious little cockney wide boy, i wouldn’t have that fooker in the same county let alone the same club.
Hopefully who ever comes into the club ensurers wise gets his marching orders, I’m not great fan of keegan or newcastle but anyone is better than this twat
You’ve got to remember that Shearer thought he was the missing piece that would help Newcastle win the league. Had Newcastle been a mid table team at the time then he would have joined United, but fuck it’s in the past we got Ole and the rest is history.
Now he has his reputation at Newcastle to consider and so won’t manage them through fear of relegation.
Actually you are being a little unfair on Shearer on this one. Yes ok, it’s 47,000 and not 52,000. But the rest of what he said you can’t disagree. I really feel sorry for the way that club is being ruined by that muppet Mike Ashley. Whilst Newcastle have become the joke of the country, this latest development is unfortunate, and no fan (bar, Pool or City or Leeds) should be subjected to this sort of nonsense.
Totally spot on and agree red ranter…True loyal fans have been messed about enough up there. By muppets ala gullit wise ashley souness fat crap sam etc. None of them have a clue. Geordies deserve better
And even though i think Big Al would have been one of our best signings ever. And scored twice as many goals as anyone. I admire that he stayed loyal, even though we utd fans were gutted. And even as a utd fan…i respect and think what a flamin top draw striker he was. Best in prem history
