Whatever happened, surely you do as the manager asks you? If he wants you to play a certain way, forget your ego and just crack on with it! Shearer was a legend sure, in the Premier league, but don't forget Gullit won the Ballon D'or, as a footballer he was a level above Shearer and if you disagree, you DIDN'T see Gullit play it's as simple as that! He could play anywhere, one of the most gifted and natural footballers I've ever seen, powerful player, bullet headers, dribble past players, creative, passing, control a game (watch Holland vs England, when Gullit got subbed England were able to get back into the game) A manager comes in with his own style, he earn't the right to manage that club and was given the managers role, he's the boss! Trouble with football today is player power - look at United with Pogba etc, got Mourinho the sack! Now lets see the result, Pogba has gone on to do NOTHING! Mourinho if you look back in honesty was United's best manager post Fergie! If a guy like Gullit was my manager, I'd be in awe and would listen to his ideas, he played for that great Milan side, unbeatable team! And it's true what he said about Hughes, I recall Mark Hughes at Chelsea and felt he played his best football there! Shearer never won anything at Newcastle!!!

As a Newcastle fan who isn't a huge shearer fan, Gullit is absolutely twisting facts here, he may genuinely believe what he is saying, but its wrong. Shearer was 29 when gullit left. I agree he may have wanted shearer to play differently, but for him to suggest he was proven right because sir bobby wanted to sell shearer too is hiding a lot that happened in between. Sir Bobby had a good relationship with shearer, even instantaneously turning his goal scoring fortunes with 5 goals against Sheffield Wednesday in his first home game i believe. Shearer would go on to score a whole truck full of goals in the PL and europe subsequently. It was a couple of seasons later when shearer was 32/33 when Sir Bobby wanted short of him because he was hindering progress at Newcastle, and he probably was. Newcastle had finished 5th, disappointed to not be in the UCL(ironic, i know). Kluivert was signed on a free after WC 2002. And kluivert had a decent goal to mins stats, played decently in my opinion, but didn't hit perhaps unrealistic heights set for him by fans. But the reason he couldn't settle in was because he was benched for a declining shearer when our best strike partnership was definitely kluivert and bellamy. Shearer would sulk and probably cost sir Bobby his job, just as much as dyer,bowyer and the fellow brat pack.

I get his point about Shearer. Ruud was the big dog where ever he went and he went there and the fans worshipped Shearer. He didn’t like that. But the fact he dropped Shay Given for the FA cup final after he played consistently throughout the season without explanation raised eyebrows brows. Not giving Rob Lee a squad number and making him train with the reserves was criminal and dropping Duncan Ferguson. So Shearer wasn’t the only problem. And Ruud didn’t do anything after that. Shearer went on to score more goals etc over his next 5 seasons but Robson did want to get rid of him I think and realised he was getting on towards the end. It’s just the shame the club didn’t back Robson when he should have been backed most. Yet they got Souness in and give him more funding in one season then Robson had in 5 🤷

So the things he's saying can not be countered because he's mentioning walking away with no money, between himself and Shepherds agreement, but Shepherd is dead, so he can't deny it. He's saying Robson wanted Shearer out and it was all but done, but Bobby can't say he's lying because he's dead too. 🤦🏻♂️ Personally, what he's saying just sounds like 🐂💩 and just trying get back in with the fans because he's hated.

Excuses. Sorry Ruud but that wasn’t the case. You played ten pre season games before the season. Players lost steam and confidence. And despite Alan scoring 3 and Duncan 2 in training two days before Sunderland, you left then benched. Wasn’t about those two. The team weren’t responding because of you. You weren’t good enough. Also, we didn’t get relegated for a decade. When you left we finished 11th twice, Alan was injured the second season under Bobby. Our top scorer every year. Then 4th., 3rd and 5th. Few year later under glen we finished 7th. Then under Alan p we finished 5th and bossed it. Then we got relegated cos owners didn’t spend money or care. Your right we were relegated twice after, but not for ages. And that’s nothing to do with a striker being mobile. Lame excuses. And as much as your nice now, it was your ego! Your ego that’s what it was. Alan was top man, you didn’t like that.
