Shearer's the name .. next boss???

This whole new manager thing is driving me up the wall we have no idea what is going on and it is getting beyond a joke?

Away from the news threads for over an hour or so and Alan Shearer's name is linked with the Cardiff job in this bookies led rumour. Sudden interest in the ex-Newcastle player is coming out of Ireland and more interestingly from the hometown on one Roy Keane.

A spokesman at the bookmakers William Hill explained:

"The market has reacted to a weight of money placed on Alan Shearer to get the Cardiff job in the Cork area of Southern Ireland.

"In most cases these bets come from a massive rumour that circulates in one area and what's interesting in this case is that it's come from Roy Keane's hometown.

"It could be possible that Roy Keane has said something about Shearer taking over at Cardiff and people have reacted by putting money down on it."

Shearer since retiring from Cardiff has carved himself a career in the media has a pundit with the BBC and had a bash at management with Newcastle United, but it didn't last long only eight games. He was only taken on for the eight in a desperate move to keep Newcastle in the Premiership, but that was to fail. He wanted the job and so did the fans wanted him to have the job, but the Newcastle board plumed for Chris Hughton. So is he the curve ball in the race to the dugout at the Cardiff City Stadium. He would be a more high profile boss if the rumour turned out to be right.

It's now being reported that Watford at no approach has been made to talk to their manager Malky Mackay if so who was interviewed yesterday?

The latest quote from Watford chairman Graham Taylor

"We've had no contact from Cardiff.

"There has been a lot of talk that it is almost a done deal, but we have heard nothing from Cardiff.

"Until we hear anything differently there is nothing more I can say."

People (fans) are say don't worry there is plenty of time to sort the squad out everyone's on holiday and contracts done run out until the end of the month. Well Championship rivals Derby County are about to make their sixth signing. We are becoming a laughing stock the big problem is the lack of football experience at board level is becoming a serious problem. If you believe the rumours the new manager could be named today or the middle of next week.
