WHAT IF ALAN SHEARER HAD JOINED MANCHESTER UNITED INSTEAD OF NEWCASTLE UNITED?

According to THE SUN, which had a article when Alan Shearer had a chance to move from Blackburn Rovers, to either of the giants Manchester United , or to his childhood club Newcastle United. Now there was a interview between Kenny Keegan and Sir Alex Ferguson. The interview was held on the same day, and the first one was between Alan Shearer and Kevin Keegan, the talks went on really well. Later on it was the turn of Sir Alex Ferguson, who was sitting in front of Alan Shearer , with a stony face. These talks also went on very well, but there was one sticking point , Alan Shearer wanted to know who would be taking the penalty kicks at Manchester United.? And Sir Alex Ferguson said at Manchester United the penalties are all taken care by Eric Cantona. But hen Newcastle United acted fat and signed up Alan Shearer. But Alan shearer retired at Newcastle United after scoring a total of 260, two hundred and sixty goals, which is still a record at England. But the very big question here is would that record have been bigger had Alan Shearer moved to Manchester United.

BIG SAM ALLARDYCE REJECTS THE CHANCE TO BE THE NEW MANAGER OF NEWCASTLE UNITED..

Big Sam Allardyce has now politely rejected the offer made by Newcastle United, to be their new manager for the new season. Their former manager Rafael Benítez ran down his contract and did not renew the contract, as he had big offer from the Chinese League. In fact Sam Allardyce did not even speak to Mike Ashley, in fact his agent only did the talking with the owner of Newcastle United. Sam Allardyce was once the manager of Newcastle United in the year 2007/2008, before Mike Kegan took over as the manager. The main reason why Sam Allardyce rejected the job at Newcastle United , could very well be that as Mike Ashley does not invest big money on players, he did not want to take up the job, and face arelegation battle. It could be Steve Bruce ,, who could be the new manager at Newcastle United.

WILL JOSE MOURINHO FACE THE SAME FATE?

As the saying goes history always repeats itself.So will jose Mourinho also face the same fate as the other managers who returned to their old clubs for a second time. Johan Ctyuff says Jose Mourinho task is already a doomed one. 1) Matt Busby, he lead Manchester United from 1949 to 1969 the year Manchester United first won their Champion League Matt Busby returned to Manchester United in the year 1970 as a caretaker manager, and only managed a eighth place for Manchester United, he stepped down at the end of the 1970/1971 season. 2) Kenny Dalgalish He lead Liverpool to three League titles and two F.A.Cups in his first spell at Liverpool from the year 1985 to the year 1991. But his second spell at Liverpool in 2011 was a absolute disaster he looked lost and short of ideas he was sacked in the year 2012.After Liverpool finished eighth in the E.P.L. 3) Kevin Keegan revitalized Newcastle United in the early 1980 when he played for the club, as a manager at Newcastle United at first time from 1992 to 1997, and nearly leading them to the title in 1996. But his second spell at Newcastle United in 2008 was a different story all together , he failed to win any of his first eight matches and finally left the club eight months later. Now its your turn Jose Mourinho.

ALAN SHEARER IS THE NEW COACH OF NEWCASTLE.

Alan Shearer , the former England and Newcastle has taken over as the coach of Newcastle from Joe Kinnear, who had a bypass surgery in februry. . He has as his assistant in the coaching staff Iain Dowie the Q.P.R. coach
Alan Shearer wwas a legend at his time at St James Park, he was brought from Blackburn Rovers for a then record of 15 million pounds, and has played ten long years for Newcastle and scored a total of 206 goals for Newcastle United. He also took the club once to the Champion League , and becane the first club in History ever to reach the group of 16 teams in the knock out stages , after loosing their first two games.
Alan Shearer made no secret of the fact t5hat one day he would manage the Newcadtle United team, the team he loved .But has the call come to early for Shearer, that time will only tell.
We must remember one thing clearly, that all good players dont make good managers, we can see the case of Paul Ince. But some have shown at the job . Like Jurgen Klinsnman, Jyon Cruiff and Franz Beckenbauer.
Now that Newcasle are fallen to the last three this year, and beeing a proud club and having strong support., Shearer is brought in.
But why are they in this plaace now. Their main striker Michel Owen has played just four games for the club, and missed the rest due to an ancle injury, and the goals dried up. And kevin Keegan had left the club because the owner Mike Ashley did not want to spend for players. And the biggest blow was the departure of their goalkeeper Shay Givens and Charles NZogbia to Wigan.
John Hall the former Chairman and the person who Brought Alan Sheare to the club says.This a desperate time, desperate move, for desperate.times.
But all pundits stand on one point . That Alan Shearer will make an imediate impact on the club.
