Make like a Shepherd

Yesterday, in the Independent, James Lawton wrote an article that will speak for a lot of Newcastle United fans:

Shepherd’s love of the limelight is matched only by his absolute failure to understand what constitutes the makings of success. It is not, and can never be, the public statement that the man in charge of the most vital asset of all, the team, is on borrowed time.

That Shepherd saw fit to so undermine one of the great figures in English football is a mystery exceeded only by one other. That concerns the 71-year-old Robson’s failure to tell Shepherd where to stick his ideas and his club some time ago.

If you’re at all interested, it’s well worth reading the full article. (Hat-tip to nufc.com for the link.)
