He is back the legend returns Shearer is to take over as Newcastle United manager for the remaining eight games of the season as the club battle to avoid Premier League relegation.Alan shearer is a huge hit with the fans and this must be music to there ears as the legend returns. Newcastle, who have 29 points from 30 matches, host third-placed Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday with eight games of the season left.Big question is can he do what he did on the pitch from the touchline we will see

 Off the pitch, Shearer has been deemed bland and boring. His deadbat television technique and taciturn PR skills are largely responsible for this tag. One magazine described him as having “all the personality of a suet pudding” while 2 infamous Newcastle directors, labelled him ‘Mary Poppins’. Former Blackburn team-mate Tim Flowers too has dubbed him ‘Mr Mogadon’ while another has commented that he kept Shearer’s season diary next to his bedside as it put him to sleep. Shearer was once challenged by team-mates to incorporate the title of an Abba song into an interview. So he answered a question with: “Yes, but the winner takes it all.” Is a now famous comment

 Mark Lawrenson who worked with Shearer at Newcastle says, “That’s Shearer. Put a microphone under his chin and a camera in front of him and he switches off. But I can tell you now that he has got one of the most outstanding personalities in football.”

Shearer  who hit  206 goals in 404 appearances during a 10-year playing stint at Newcastle to earn legendary status on Tyneside after joining for a record £15m fee from Blackburn. see his best video moments here and we  was right about him being a manager soon

The BBC:

“I’m definitely only here for eight weeks and that’s all I’m concentrating on.

“I enjoyed doing what I was doing with the BBC and I’m looking forward to doing it again next season.

“I know what I’m doing next season. I’m here (Newcastle) for eight games only.”

But that doesn’t mean he isn’t at least looking for the offer to return on a permanent basis:

“My aim is to be offered the job at the end of the season because if I am that means I would have kept Newcastle in the Premier League.”

We have a feeling he will sign a new contract for next season if they stay up there fans love him as much as mighty kev

 

Always remembered by many with that famous right boot wearing the black and white of  Newcastle or white of  England  he was a true great english player one im sure that will turn to a manager in the future. Shearer was rejected by Newcastle as a schoolboy at the famous Wallsend Boys Club and instead signed as an apprentice with Southampton at the age of 16. He made his debut as a substitute against Chelsea in 1988, before prompting national headlines with his full debut a month later when he scored a hat-trick against Arsenal. At the age of 17 years and eight months, he broke the record for the youngest hat-trick scorer in top-flight football which had been held for more than 30 years by Jimmy Greaves.He never became truly prolific for Southampton until 1992, when he slammed home 13 goals from 41 appearances. Having become a regular for the England team at under-21 level the previous year, scoring 13 goals in just 11 matches, this potent spell by Shearer was noticed by Graham Taylor, coach of the senior team, and Shearer made his debut against France in February 1992.Like his full debut at club level, his full debut in international football was memorable. Shearer scored a poacher’s goal in the first half as England won 2-0, with the other goal coming from Gary Lineker, who was retiring in the summer after Euro 92

Blackburn Rovers manager Kenny Dalglish who, armed with unlimited funds from club benefactor Jack Walker, offered Southampton an irresistible 3.6 million pounds for their prized asset, and Shearer made his move,man utd where also in the picture to buy him.Shearer settled down and became the most feared goal scorer in the Premiership. He rattled in a huge 31 goals from 40 games in the 1994 season as Blackburn finished a close second in the table behind Manchester United he also won footballer of the year that season.in 1995/96 42 games, he scored a phenomenal 34 goals as Blackburn took the Premiership title on the last day of the season at anfield even thou they lost the game.

After the success of Euro 96, Shearer rejected lucrative offers from other top clubs to fulfil his childhood dream of playing in the black-and-white jersey. “All I ever wanted to do was play for Newcastle. I’d stand on the terraces dreaming of the day I would walk out on that hallowed turf.” That day arrived on August 6 1996, when Shearer’s return home shattered records worldwide, making him the world’s most expensive player at £15m. But it was a move made for sentiment and not money as Shearer not only returned to his roots but got to play under idol Kevin Keegan. The move was a crowning glory for Geordies and a remarkable part of English football history as 15,000 people stood in a rainstorm just to watch him wave.

Sadly, Shearer’s Newcastle seasons have been plagued by injury woes and by the sudden departure of Keegan. His rather quick recovery from a career-threatening injury suffered in 1997 helped his team avoid relegation. But as always he did score some great strikes for Newcastle and the famous one hand celebration we will never forget!

A true great and yes he is good for match of the day beu would make a great Newcastle manager. Here is a video showing some great footage it kicks in after 30 seconds enjoy!

Arsenal crusied to victory away from home today thou Obafemi Martins has missed a penalty the story may have been different.Arsenal scored three in 10 minutes to tighten their grip on fourth place.Goals from nasri bendtner and diaby did the damage which was a good result for the gunners.

Manuel Almunia fouled Ryan Taylor to give away a first-half penalty but he saved Obafemi Martins’s effort, and the Gunners recovered to go ahead through Nicklas Bendtner’s header (57).

Martins drilled in within 13 seconds to equalise (58) but Robin Van Persie set up Abou Diaby (64) and Samir Nasri (67) while Abou Diaby hit the post late on

The defeat leaves Newcastle languishing in the relegation zone, having mustered just two points from their last five matches.

More and highlights to come

United came from a goal down to beat Newcastle United 2-1 and extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points.

Lovenkrands stunned the champions – and no doubt sparked excitement in certain parts of London and Merseyside – with a ninth-minute opener following a horrendous goalkeeping error by Edwin van der Sar.

But Wayne Rooney put the visitors back on level terms on 20 minutes – his ninth in nine games against the Magpies – before Dimitar Berbatov made United’s increased pressure count with what proved to be the winner on 56 minutes

After Berbatov had put them ahead, United took control of the match and it took a fine save from Harper to deny Ronaldo from extending the advantage further as Newcastle left gaps at the back in their quest for an equaliser

After scoring in Manchester United’s hard-fought 2-1 win at Newcastle, Wayne Rooney says the team must keep their performances up if they are to retain the league title. BBC
