The Daily Mirror has all but given the Cardiff job to Alan Shearer and has gone so far to name his assistant Tommy Craig. That the moment they are the only news agency carrying this story. The other morning papers are talking about talks taking place. If it is Shearer it will be more than the curve ball I was talking about earlier today it will be like a nuclear bomb going off in the middle of the Cardiff City Stadium.
What will he bring to the post? Eight games of management at Newcastle United not much experience there, but good that sitting on the sofa of Football Focus and Match of the Day as a football pundit. The debate over Shearer is lighting up the messageboards and the likes of Twitter and Facebook with the majority against the thought of Shearer as manager. Once whoever is named boss they should receive the full support of the fans.
If he comes it could put to sleep any chance of Craig Bellamy returning to the club next season. Bellamy and Shearer's relationship deteriorated when abusive text messages were sent from his phone during his spell at Celtic to the Newcastle captain. Shearer reportedly threatened to "knock his block off" if Bellamy returned to Newcastle.
The rumour is that Cardiff will name their new manager tomorrow and put an end to all this madness. All this crap should be squarely lain at the door of the board for not being decisive enough after the Reading game. Dave Jones should have been sacked on the night of the Reading defeat within days not weeks later. History now but if they would have done that at the time maybe the new boss would have been in the job for weeks now.
