Unite behind Shearer: fans groups band together to call for Shearer

Toon supporters today called for the ‘immediate appointment of Alan Shearer as club manager’ to send the right message to supporters and potential buyers of the club.

Newcastle United Supporters Club have been joined by the Mag, the biggest selling football fanzine in the region, NUFC.com, the ‘unofficial club website’ that attracts thousands of hits daily, contributors from True Faith fanzine and the official Newcastle United Supporters Panel in a bid to break the deadlock in appointing the geordie legend Shearer.

Colin Whittle from NUSC said: ‘The time has come to show the outside world that the supporters of Newcastle United are ready to move on and get behind the club. We believe that the appointment of Alan Shearer would send out a massive signal to potential buyers and most importantly, the fans who have so far been ignored’.

Mark Jensen from the Mag said: ‘Its a ‘no-brainer’, the fans want Shearer and any future owners would be mad not to see Alan’s potential. By coming together, as representatives of various sections of the fan base we believe that it will send a powerful message of unity that will be picked up by potential owners’.

Steve Hastie who contributes to True Faith and is also on the Supporters Panel said: ‘The fans need to get resolution to this long running saga. It was particularly encouraging to hear potential owners talk about official fans involvement in the club, not as a token but a true partner’.

Sir Bobby Robson

Geordies Here Geordies where?

Hopefully at St James Park on 26th July honouring a Sir Bobby Robson, seeing teams made up of ex players and celebs doing the same and having a really good evening.

Kickoff @ SJP on Sunday 26th July is at 6.15pm and advance tickets are on sale now for £10 adults and £5 for youngsters (£15 & £7.50 for premium seating areas).

This will be an excellent opportunity for the people of the North East to come out in their thousands and show their support for this most worthy of causes. It will also be an opportunity for us all to show Sir Bobby The respect he so richly deserves. Sir Bobby deserves a full house; At a time when grace and dignity has been sadly lacking at St James' Park it will also allow supporters that people who show dignity receive recognition; even though we may be down, we're not out ! RESPECT.
