As good a player Shearer was the proposal that he became Newcastle manager was crazy, so the thought that we should appoint a manager with no previous experience is unbelievable. The present squad could not become promotion contenders this season even if we appointed a top premier manager so there is no point wasting further cash,the only positive possibility is that the present board stand down and invite a group to succeed them who have a good financial backing,however this should have been done before we were relegated from the Championship.
