Sir Bobby Robson：The Mail on Sunday
總之這篇大致是上Sir Bobby的意思是說，如果想去找Mark Hughes或是Martin Jol
這之類的選擇，何不乾脆把這支球隊托付給Shearer？
他說以前他絕對會說找個有經驗的人來吧，但Shearer跟那些人不同。
如果他是高層，他會將球隊托付給Shearer，並且告訴他：
"帶我們回到冠軍盃。"
(不過前提是如果他是高層，事情不太可能會搞成現在這樣。)
同時他也表示他很驚訝Harry Redknapp會拒絕來這裡。
與其讓Shearer這項不確定因素一直存在，為何不現在就讓他來執教？
Sir Bobby認為這支球隊現在踢起來，有太多的球員缺乏自信、缺乏勇氣，
同時他也替飽受一堆人攻擊的老闆緩頰，他認為雖然Sam應該得到更多時間，但你
無法去責怪老闆，一個對球隊投資如此之多的人，想要屬於自己的教練。
Sir Bobby同時也拿了Sam轉會市場失敗的引援來講，這不是個好的引援，
夏季轉會市場中引進的九名新援中只有Faye跟Beye算的上是成功，其他都是失敗品。
他也提到，穆里尼奧曾跟他講過，Geremi活像個40歲的人，他再也不會讓Geremi在自
己任何重要的比賽中上場！因此當Sir Bobby知道我們想要簽下Geremi的時候，他試
圖跟高層傳達這項訊息，但結果是──Sam簽下了Geremi，甚至還讓他當隊長。
他認為這支球隊Duff, Steven Taylor, James Milner, Charles N'Zogbia還有兩位
苦命的世界級門將是足夠好的，如果Owen能夠恢復到他過往的能力，他也會在這些人
的名單之中。同時，他也再度的提到了Emre，他認為不管是Joey Barton或是Smith
都不會有Emre來的聰明。

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.
