Kenny Dalglish Won't Be Delivering the Module: English Premiership 2011-12

nah, too busy drafting his statement stepping back from the Barca post. (After a two week process, it will turn out to be "I'm flattered, but unavailable.)

"Shearer, who will be part of the BBC's Euro 2012 coverage."

Guardian killing their own story in seven paragraphs. Unless they're banking on a first round knockout and Shearer being available in the studio for the business end of the tournament. Football's answer to Steve Davis.

Shearer 'flattered' by talk of England.
London Evening Standard
23 Jun 2006
Byline: KEN DYER

ALAN SHEARER is set to become Steve McClaren's assistant in England's new coaching regime after the World Cup.

Alan Shearer, flattered by recent reports linking him with the vacant England manager job, has let it be known that his head is being turned by the prospect of becoming a manager. In Newcastle code this means if he was given £50m in the January transfer window he’d fancy his chances of leading the club down the black and white brick road back to the Geordie glory days again.

In that Guardian piece he doesn't actually say anything about becoming an England coach.

Alan Shearer tonight ruled himself out of the race to succeed Mark Hughes as Blackburn Rovers boss.
The 37-year-old former England captain had emerged as one of the favourites among fans of his former club in recent days, but after speaking to chief executive John Williams, ‘politely declined’ the offer of a place on the shortlist.
Asked about the situation in his role as a BBC pundit during the Euro 2008 clash between Switzerland and Turkey, Shearer said: ‘The situation was, and is, that I was very flattered to have got a call from chief the executive, John Williams, at Blackburn.
‘He asked me if I would like to be included on a shortlist for the manager's job, which I politely declined because of the commitments that I have, namely this one.
‘I was very flattered to have been asked and I thank him for that.

I wonder if he has any managerial ability?

							G	W	D	L	Win %
Newcastle United	1 April 2009	24 May 2009	8	1	2	5	12.50

I think only Terry Connor has a worse win percentage (0.00%) in Premier League history.

Actually that's probably not true, Derby only won one or two games in their last relegation season.

One game, they won. But Paul Jewell was the manager, and had led Wigan to ten wins in 2006/07.

He kept Bradford up in 2000 as well; I can't remember whether Shearer managed that with Newcastle but I'm sure he must've if he's being linked with England.

I'm disappointed that the BBC are basing their Euros coverage in Salford. After the stunning success of 'Shearer explains apartheid' I was looking forward to him cutting though the misinformation and getting to the truth about Tymoshenko.

Alex McLeish has vowed to keep a low profile and remain in his dugout in the hope that it will encourage Villa fans to focus on the team rather than on him.
