Shearer is a coward

[Westman]

If only we could go back and check the archives. I remember telling folks that no Shearer led team, in a any way, would ever win anything. Can you say subterfuge?

[Westman]

I cannot believe you guys are saying what I have been saying here since the early days of the forum. Shearer has always been over-rated and he has knifed many a manager in the back. He and England walloped Germany in a game that did not matter. When they get to real competition, look at the Germans and compare them then. He won the Premiership at Blackburn and nothing since. He made bad choices since and has constantly undermined managers. Gullitt was not bad at Newcastle or Chelsea. He had constant revolts like Shearer and Vialli to deal with.

why so he could fail.

[Gamma]

agreed ...i would have LOVED it if he took the job!

[Assasin]

he has been bad mouthing coaches since he was player. He had a hand many coaches been fired including Rudd Guliett. He just declared again he doesn't want the job yet he stood by and made the fans thinking he was a favorite son to land Big Sam's job.
