I don't think too much blame can be laid at Shearer. But the fact is that he's been brought in to save Newcastle from relegation. The positive effect from that has been negligible.
Shearer deserves as much blame as Dennis Wise. But as Wise is a cockney, ex-Chelsea/Wimbledon player and Shearer is a geordie legend, Wise will get a million times more blame than Shearer.
I thought your post was actually going to be ok until i read that.
The only real positive for Shearer coming in was PR for Ashley, turning to one of the 2 people that would be able to get that kind of response from Newcastle fans.
Wise stuck his nose in when Keegan was manager, and brought in some overpriced, over-rated individuals.
It's no suprise that Shearer didn't want Wise sticking his nose in, in the same manner it made Keegan's job as manager, impossible.
