Bobby Robson is a quality manager, i don't understand why the Newcastle Chairman is retarded enougth to fire him. The last straw would of been dropping Shearer last Saturday, which is ridiculas as Shearer being a professional should accept that he was on the bench for that match so Robson could try out Klivert, who made the starting line-up for the first ti9me in the Premiership.
Newcastle seem to just base their club around Shearer, who in my opinion isn't the player he once was, and judging by his age, Newcastle should not be basing the club around Shearer. It's like the WWE baseing the company around someone like Hulk Hogan.
I have a lot of respect for Shearer throughout his career, but he should really accept to be dropped once in a while to allow younger talent to make their mark on the Premiership.
The same fate happend to Rudd Gullit (sp?) when he dropped Shearer for one game in 99, so i wouldn't be suprised if this was Newcastle's reason for giving Robson the boot.
