"He leaves having remodelled the Newcastle team with many young players who are admired and coveted across the UK and Europe. The club will no doubt continue to benefit from the knowledge and experience he has given during his time here."\\


Moreover the update - appreciably toned down by lawyers prior to publication - reflects Robson's disappointment that, having offered Shearer a free rein as captain, he did not exercise the control over Newcastle's young players that might have been anticipated from such a senior and influential figure.

Having initially been happy to groom the local hero as his successor he duly changed his mind, telling reporters that Shearer, who is at present studying for his coaching badges, would be much more suited to a media career.

Intriguingly Gullit, now in charge of Feyenoord, was dismissed days after dropping Shearer to the substitutes' bench for a home defeat against Sunderland and has since publicly described his bete noire as a "bad apple" and that he regretted not selling him.

Tellingly, Shearer apparently became disillusioned with Robson after the latter's forlorn attempts to sell him to Liverpool in the summer of 2003.

When Robson dropped him for a meaningless second leg UEFA Cup encounter in Norway last season, Shearer made his indignation extremely plain and the exercise was never repeated.

All he has to do is send me a pm telling me when and where, he continues to fail on both accounts, a clear spineless little fanny.:oops:

I’ve no idea of what brings this on, but may I say that the constant requests to ‘meet up’ with a stranger from an online football forum comes across really childlike. I’d be amazed if anybody is impressed by it.
