Alan Shearer to Become the New Newcastle Boss
According to BBC Sport, Alan Shearer is all set to be appointed as the new boss of Newcastle United until the end of the season. Shearer played for Newcastle for 10 years between 1996 and 2006, scoring 148 Premier League goals during his time with the club.
Newcastle is currently 18th and fighting for survival in the Premier League, and Mike Ashley will now be hoping that Shearer will be able to guide the club to safety.
Chelsea is Newcastle’s next opponent in the league, and the game will take place on Saturday at Newcastle’s St. James’ Park.
Alan Shearer has a lot of work to do if he’s to save Newcastle this season, and Michael Owen’s fitness will no doubt be crucial to the clubs success or failure. Owen has scored 10 goals in all competitions this season; 8 of which have been scored in the Premier League. He’s an important part of the team, but injury has limited him to just four appearances in 2009, and this has therefore been a huge problem for the club.
Alan Shearer has a lot of work to do if he’s to save Newcastle from relegation this season, and with Chelsea, Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Tottenham still to play; it’s vital that points be gained in the games against fellow strugglers Portsmouth, Stoke, and Middlesbrough.
