Newcastle Manager's First Interviews - Did They Deliver On Their Promises?

10. Alan Shearer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiSsAOV6MvQ A very honest assessment from the club's record goal scorer Alan Shearer who didn't promise that he would save Newcastle United from relegation. In fact he said the very opposite and laid everything out on the table exactly how it was at the time. He set everything straight and put it in black and white. The players were low on confidence, there was a whole host of injuries in the squad, costly mistakes had been made throughout the 2008/09 season and he was as inexperienced as they come in managerial terms. In reality, he made things out to be as bleak as they would eventually turn out to be. Admirable. Did He Deliver? Al Made No Bones About How Tough It Was Going To Be, So In A Way, Yes!
