King Kev is dead, long live Sir Alan?
September 5, 2008
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the Kevin Keegan / Newcastle United saga has come to end, with King Kev abdicating his crown amid cries that the board were selling players without his permission. Not something a manager can really work with, but that’s football boards for you. The same thing happened at West Hamm.
Now Kev has gone, rumours turn once again to the man who always gets asked whenever the Newcastle job becomes available, Alan Shearer. He’s the idol of the Toon, a Georgie, a Newcastle fan and their greatest ever goalscorer. He’d be perfect, except, he doesn’t want the job!
Although it’s not the job he’s afraid of, it’s the hierarchy at Newcastle that’s putting him off.
I’d like to be a manager at some point in my career.
But I want to manage – and control who comes in and out of the club.
This, sadly for Newcastle fans, is exactly why Kevin Keegan walked out, for the second time this week, and the third time in his Newcastle career.
With Shearer sensibly declaring himself out, at least until things change at Newcastle, other names that have been cast into the frame are Everton manager David Moyes and Didier Deschamps.
It’s unlikely though that any of the names in the frame would consider a job where the club sell players without the manager’s knowledge. Newcastle have made a rod for their own back with their actions of the last few weeks, and they’ll find it difficult to recruit the right man now.
As far as the fans are concerned, they already had the right man, and he just quit.
