    It appears that Shearer got Owen, rather than Souness, and they are making a meal of the fact.

    This is only a personal view, but if a club keeps undermining its managers, no-one is going to look good there.

    They might as well keep Souness. They are lucky to have him.
    get rid of Souness - let them get religated, that way I won't have to catch a plane every time I watch the Arse play up there - oh BTW change the away seats at St James's you feal like god sitting up in the rafters....looking down on ants playing football.....

    This sounds like an appropriate time to mention furnitureporn.com, not that I've ever looked at the site of course

    Which top manager in the UK is a likely suspect? I can't think of any, unless Newcastle are prepared to give Curbishley a go, but he's hardly a star name.
    I hear Big Ron is still looking for a job.

    Shearer has a level head and he's responsible enough to make a decent manager, but whether he has managerial talent is another matter. And with no experience, how wise is it to give him a big club like Newcastle to play with? Even Mourinho and Fergie started with smaller clubs.

    How about a Shearer/Robson double act, with Shearer taking over eventually (shades of Liverpool and Charlton).

    Just need the big guy at the top to resign and Souness to be replaced by an experienced manager and we'd be flying.

    Very true, which is why I'm very happy he's joined.....perhaps he can set a good example to some of our younger players and several of the seasoned pro's!

    Just need the big guy at the top to resign and Souness to be replaced by an experienced manager and we'd be flying....honest!!

    Just a bit concerned about the "get out clauses" that are in his contract!
    Alan Shearer won't resign until he breaks the record - he's a selfish twat!

    Newcastle United will never win anything with those clowns at the top...................Owen would double the number of good, disciplined professionals at that club.

    Darren,
    Newcastle United will never win anything with those clowns at the top, and especially while the centre forward holds more sway with the board than their succession of managers. Michael Owen would double the number of good, disciplined professionals at that club.

    That's a relief. I was a little concerned about Liverpool having a striker who can score.

    n5gooner: Funnily enough I was moving some logs I'd be using as an excuse to make lots of noise and sawdust with a chain saw and under one log I found the back two thirds of a rat. Head and front legs missing. Looks like it must have been scampering about when the pile shifted and it were decapitated.

    Didn't find the front end though.
