Shearer says no, thousands celebrate. Then he does a nazi salute...

I suppose it could get worse, we could appoint Paulo di Canio.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

No to Shearer

I have generally been ignoring all the talk about different names being put forward as the next Cardiff City manager. Like many others, I was glad to see the back of Dave Jones, who had clearly done as much as he could do, who, despite the resources and team he had, could get us no further than the play-offs - whilst down the road the Jacks showed us how it's done. No star-fucking celeb signings with big egos - just good football played by well coached players. And Alan Tate.

Anyway, I figured all the talk of Martin O'Neill, Chris Hughton, Malkay Mackay, Billy Davies et al would soon peter out, and someone or other this week would be appointed. Never in my wildest dreams did I even think of the name "Shearer". Fucking Alan Shearer - Jesus that's all we need. A man who has shown he has no deep understanding of football each week on TV, a man who managed a team for eight games - how many did they win? - just the one, and got relegated. A man who hates our hero Bellamy, a man whose experience is as an England star, and is not loved - nor even liked or admired - by the welsh public.

You couldn't choose anyone more likely to piss people off. So here's what I'm hoping - it is all some elaborate joke dreamt up by some Swansea fans with media influence, and a Proper manager gets appointed this week. Shearer - god no, not him. My cat could do a better job. At least he's got a name the fans like: Earnie.

Earnie looking out of the window - hoping it's not Alan Shearer he sees coming up the road.
