I was not surprised at the lack of a performance from Newcastle at Villa Park at the weekend as for me, they are one of the most feeble teams I’ve seen for a number of years. The Magpies current side have got nothing to offer and it would have been a miracle if they’d managed to stay up.

I’m afraid Newcastle are now paying the cost of terrible decision making at the club for the past two years. Every decision made seems to have been contrary to what was actually needed.

Much has been made of Newcastle’s failure to pick up a win under Alan Shearer in his three matches in charge but for me, that’s completely unfair considering the fixtures he has had to deal with.

Newcastle United football club never cease to amaze me in their quest to keep 52,000 fans on seats. Once again they have made a major appointment in an attempt to excite the Geordie faithful but it really is a sandcastle of a club with no foundations.

I must say this is a very shrewd move from Mike Ashley to bring Alan back to the club for the final 8 matches as it’s sure to galvanise the crowd and in turn the team.

That atmosphere will lift the players for sure.

I think the appointment of Alan Shearer is a good move for my old club Newcastle. We all know he had turned the role down before but in terms of timing this couldn’t be any better. If they stay up and to be honest I thought they would anyway, then Alan will be the saviour, the messiah if you will, if not then the past regime will be blamed.

Newcastle are to appoint Alan Shearer as caretaker manager for the final 8 games of the season but will be hoping to avoid the fates of two other clubs who turned to club legends during a season in order to save their clubs.

Mounting speculation concerning the vacant managerial post at Blackburn suggests Newcastle legend Alan Shearer is the front runner for the job. The former Rovers striker is one of a number of candidates for the position alongside the likes of MK Dons manager Paul Ince, Sam Allardyce and Steve McClaren.

Is the lack of black managers in England really down to racism?
