Sir Bobby Robson:The Mail on Sunday
总之这篇大致是上Sir Bobby的意思是说,如果想去找Mark Hughes或是Martin Jol
这之类的选择,何不乾脆把这支球队托付给Shearer?
他说以前他绝对会说找个有经验的人来吧,但Shearer跟那些人不同。
如果他是高层,他会将球队托付给Shearer,并且告诉他:
"带我们回到冠军盃。"
(不过前提是如果他是高层,事情不太可能会搞成现在这样。)
同时他也表示他很惊讶Harry Redknapp会拒绝来这里。
与其让Shearer这项不确定因素一直存在,为何不现在就让他来执教?
Sir Bobby认为这支球队现在踢起来,有太多的球员缺乏自信、缺乏勇气,
同时他也替饱受一堆人攻击的老板缓颊,他认为虽然Sam应该得到更多时间,但你
无法去责怪老板,一个对球队投资如此之多的人,想要属於自己的教练。
Sir Bobby同时也拿了Sam转会市场失败的引援来讲,这不是个好的引援,
夏季转会市场中引进的九名新援中只有Faye跟Beye算的上是成功,其他都是失败品。
他也提到,穆里尼奥曾跟他讲过,Geremi活像个40岁的人,他再也不会让Geremi在自
己任何重要的比赛中上场!因此当Sir Bobby知道我们想要签下Geremi的时候,他试
图跟高层传达这项讯息,但结果是──Sam签下了Geremi,甚至还让他当队长。
他认为这支球队Duff, Steven Taylor, James Milner, Charles N'Zogbia还有两位
苦命的世界级门将是足够好的,如果Owen能够恢复到他过往的能力,他也会在这些人
的名单之中。同时,他也再度的提到了Emre,他认为不管是Joey Barton或是Smith
都不会有Emre来的聪明。

Life is never dull at Newcastle. If I was shocked at the departure of
Sam Allardyce, it was nothing compared to yesterday's startling news that
Harry Redknapp had decided to stay at Portsmouth.
I had assumed he was on his way. Owner Mike Ashley now has a simple but
important decision to make. Does he turn to local legend Alan Shearer, even
though he is untested, or choose a man with experience, a safer option, such
as Mark Hughes,Gerard Houllier or Martin Jol?
Ninety-nine times out of 100, I would call for experience.Newcastle
would normally be too big for a first-timer. But Shearer is different. He
has the status and charisma of few other personalities in this country.
In the last few days Bayern Munich have chosen Jurgen Klinsmann, who
has never been in charge of a club, to be their next manager simply because
of his aura in the game. And if I was the Newcastle board this week, I would
hand the keys to the manager's office to Alan Shearer and tell him:
"Get us back in the Champions League where we belong."
I know Shearer hasn't been a manager before. But he is a unique case
because of his standing in the city and the force of his personality. It's
not his fault but whoever takes the job will have his ghost on their shoulder
because of the strength of feeling towards him in the North-East.
Until he becomes manager, the Shearer factor won't go away. So why not
silence everybody now? He is available, lives in the town and is an iconic
figure. He doesn't have managerial experience but he does have plenty of
big-match experience.
If he comes out and says he wants the job, Newcastle should give him a
chance. They cannot afford to be turned down again by someone like Hughes.
Shearer is also what Newcastle need right now. I've seen the team play
many times this season and they are lacking confidence and courage on the
ball.
Shearer will provide that with his presence in the dressing room. The
players will respond to him because of who he is and what he has done for
the club.
And after the turmoil of recent seasons, Shearer will go back to basics.
He believes football is essentially a simple game. I expect he'd consider a
lot of Sam's backroom staff as over-complicating things and, having spoken
to Damien Duff last week, a few of the players would welcome getting back to
the football.
I know most Geordie fans would like Kevin Keegan to come back so Alan
could learn from him. But I don't see Shearer as anyone's No 2. If anybody
came in, he would have to help Shearer rather than the other way round.
Make Shearer boss or there is no point in having him.
As I said, I was stunned by Harry's decision to stay put. I know
contentment is important and Harry is happy walking his dogs on the south
coast whenever he wants, but if there is a job worth disrupting your life
for, it's at Newcastle.
I hope he doesn't regret his decision because the power of 52,000
Geordies roaring you on is immense. He has done a splendid job at Portsmouth
but you can't really compare it to being at Newcastle and I wonder if he'll
get another chance at a big club. I believe Sam Allardyce's track record at
Bolton was good enough to warrant giving him more time.
But you can't blame Mr Ashley for making his decision. He inherited Sam,
and when you invest £250 million in a club, you deserve a manager of your
choosing.
Besides the style of football which was alien to a lot of Newcastle fans,
Sam's big downfall was his buying record. No manager gets it right all the
time but Sam signed nine players and only two — Abdoulaye Faye and Habib
Beye — could be considered successes.
That's not a great percentage. Jose Mourinho told me last season that
Geremi's legs had effectively gone. "Mister, he plays like a 40-year-old. He
can not run any more. He will not play for me in important matches again,"
was Jose's typically forthright response.
Naturally, I was alarmed to read that Newcastle wanted to sign Geremi.
I passed on my information to someone at the club (this was before Mike Ashley
took over) but Geremi still ended up signing.
In fact, Sam made him captain.
Whoever comes in now must wheel and deal in this transfer window. You
need 18-20 top players in your squad these days. Duff, Steven Taylor, James
Milner, Charles N'Zogbia and two class goalkeepers — Shay Given and Steve
Harper — are certainly good enough.
Michael Owen would join that group if he could get back to what he was.
Beye, Emre and Nicky Butt are also adequate but they are not enough.
David Rozenhal and Jose Enrique cost £10m between them and there is also
Claudio Cacapa but the best defender is still a home-grown boy Taylor. Alan
Smith and Joey Barton don't have the guile of Emre or steadiness of Butt.
Up front,Oba Martins has good pace but not much footballing nous. Mark
Viduka will look a maestro one day and make you want to tear your hair out
the next.
Newcastle need new recruits. But, please, no more players Jose considers
to have the legs of a 40-year-old.
