Can Alan bring shear class to a Premier league side? Posted: 17 Sep 2010 04:22 AM PDT It seemed Alan Shearer was only ever going to be tempted to manage Newcastle United, but he has also shown that he is a man who is prepared to adapt and make difficult decisions if he is going to succeed. This is a characteristic that appears to have forced his hand when it comes to looking for his next project, which seems to be securing a job as manager of a Premier League side. Having endured a torrid spell in charge of Newcastle, picking up one win and two draws from eight games, which eventually ended in the club he supported as a boy falling to the depths of the Championship, he is a man who is almost in desperate need of rebuilding his managerial career before it has even begun. Despite his awful spell in charge of Newcastle, the Premier League betting tips suggest they should stay up this season. However, with Shearer suggesting that he was not supported by the board, and in light of the fact that he is clearly an individual with a thorough understanding of the beautiful game, despite what can only be described as the dreadful analysis that he provides on Match of the Day on a weekly basis, it would perhaps be fair to argue that he is capable of stepping in and doing a job for a club looking to improve the performances of their side. Despite this, clubs and their owners are increasingly looking to appoint experienced managers due to the potential damage that a poor spell during the domestic season can inflict, especially if it is a side who fear that they may well be one of the unfortunate teams that fall down the trapdoor to the Championship. You can bet on Premier League games being Shearer's main interest, and he's unlikely to want to drop down and try his hand in the lower leagues. With this in mind, Shearer may have to wait for the current regime at St James' Park to depart before he gets a crack at the big time again.
