The most hurt I ever was after a game of football was the game before this at home to Fulham were we played them off the park and viduka had a perfectly good goal disallowed and we ended up losing 0-1... genuinely thought after the game we beat boro that it was a turning point in our history and that we would kick on with Shearer..... you can see how hurt Shearer is after this, if only we had someone who cares this much now in charge in some capacity
He stood very little chance with 8 games. He wasn't a manager in this interview, he's a fan telling you how it is. Unfortunately the school playground that is social media still use it against him and its so wide of the mark.
Hello Alan Shearer. Thanks for everything you done for Newcastle in ten years. You’ll will be knighted and be given. Lead broadcaster role on motd. When Gary Lineker retires. What captain what a player Geordie legend. Not just a sheetmetal workers son from gosforth

It's such a shame. If Alan kept them up, he would still be managing today. Think he would have gone on to exciting things. He might have taken this too personally. Ultimately, he did not have much management experience. It was a big ask to save your boyhood club. Just because he didn't succeed here does not mean he could not have been a management success.
I remember watching the match live and thinking how the players didn't seem to have the bit between their teeth and any confidence or conviction to win. All they had to do was draw to stay up. I felt Shearer had did what he could in the 8 games or so he had in charge. After they conceded they never really threatened or moved the ball forward effectively to get a goal back. Two draws and a win was not enough from the 8 games- but they should have beaten Portsmouth instead of drawing which would have been enough to keep them up, if the rest of the results remained the same. Shearer wanted the job long before the terrible hand he was given. Still, it wasn't quite a relegation shock in the same vein as Leeds or West Ham. The players which were at West Ham went onto bigger things, 6 of which featured in the first teams of the champions league final in 2008. Actually, 3 of the Leeds players which were relegated also got relegated with Newcastle in 2008 in James Milner, Mark Viduka and Alan Smith.. They also had the likes of Owen, Duff, Obefemi Martins, Shay Given, Jose Enrique, Andy Carrol (albeit very young), Joey Barton (ok he's more a familiar/notorious name than a big one) and Kieron Dyer. Scrap that, it was up there with those two.

Nope. The damage was done a long time before that, and that’s down to the FCB. Hiring Kinnear was criminal and that put the nail in the coffin. Shearer had 8 games and had to put up with awful attitudes of players turning up late to training etc.

Alan is to blame for not using Owen wisely.
Alan wasn't good enough and that's the simple fact. The kid came in and couldn't galvanise the team to keep us up. Glad we didn't hold onto him as manager
Nope. The damage was done a long time before that, and that’s down to the FCB. Hiring Kinnear was criminal and that put the nail in the coffin. Shearer had 8 games and had to put up with awful attitudes of players turning up late to training etc.
Yea because the last 8 games of a season for a team in relegation battle decides whether your a good manager
Literally nothing has significantly changed with your club...still shit run by shit managers...what r you actually glad about
@@christojames9481 No way man. Brucey will turn us into a regular mid table Premier League team. Shearer was garbage as a manager. Good riddance to him
@@johnkaleefia1557 still saying that now ?
Newcastle fans have waited a very long time for success, I really hope their time is coming soon.
He looks like a maths teacher.
4:00 and I took that personally.
no newcastle fans blame Alan for going down
we just blame Mike Ashley and his lack of emotion for the club
Hopefully get rid of Ashley and they bring this legend back to the club can clearly do with him for striking coaching staff
