It’s not been much fun for the Toon Army this season, with Kevin Keegan no longer manager at the club, and the future of ownership very much unclear. However, here’s some news which might brighten their mood this Tuesday!

Joe Kinnear remains the interim manager of the Magpies, but nobody is precisely sure how long his tenure will last at St James’ Park. It’s clear that the former Wimbledon gaffer would like this job on a full-time basis, and had been favourite to get the gig permanently until a recent shift in the odds…

Joe Kinnear is interim manager of the Magpies and he’s got a tough old job on his hands after watching his team perform badly during their 2-1 reverse against Blackburn. The team were especially poor during the first half of the match and, despite rumours of an imminent takeover, the threat of relegation from the […]

While Magpies fans won’t believe it until they see it, there could at last be reasons for cheer at St James’ Park after the last few weeks of misery (or should that be years?). Yes, Joe Kinnear might have been a disappointing instalment as interim manager of Newcastle, although the ex-Luton boss has hinted that […]

Mike Ashley, the Evil Cockney Emperor of Newcastle United, has flexed his mendacious dictatorial muscles and given Alan Shearer the boot, surely one of the most heinous of crimes in Toon eyes…

While David Moyes and Didier Deschamps are names in the frame for the vacant Newcastle manager’s position, there is a clear favourite with fans, even if he doesn’t have any managerial experience. If he is persuaded to take the hotseat at St James’ Park, let’s hope his coaching skills are better than his punditry efforts!

Following in the hallowed footsteps of Andy Gray, who turned down the Everton job, Alan Shearer declared on the BBC yesterday that he wasn’t interested in the Blackburn manager’s job after some gentle probing by Gary Lineker. Shearer said:
“The situation is that I was very flattered to get a call off of Blackburn’s […]

Blackburn Rovers are obviously spreading their net wide in their quest for a new manager. Candidates throwing their hat into the ring to fill the Mark Hughes-sized hole at Ewood Park range from the sublime to the ridiculous; from up-and-coming gaffer Paul Ince, experienced boss Sam Allardyce, to former players Alan Shearer and […]

Well, maybe not the fans favourite but he’s currently at the top of bookmakers’ lists. While Blackburn might talk of not rushing to appoint a replacement for Mark Hughes, the truth is that they can’t leave it very long at all, especially with player contracts to sort out and potential new signings to be lined […]

Former Rovers hero and current tepid pundit Alan Shearer is edging closer to the Ewood Park hotseat and, according to Blackburn stalwart Tony Parkes, he could do a good job - he could even be the next Kenny Dalglish!
“I think Alan will be a good manager.
“When Kenny was manager, he did hardly any […]
