Does Shearer Have The 'Bottle' To Be Manager?

02 June 2011 11:26
Alan Shearer has been linked with the Aston Villa job ... along with about 548 others. But did Newcastle's relegation knock the stuffing out of him? Will he ever be a manager again? Aston Villa are stepping up their search for a new manager after Gerard Houllier stepped down on Wednesday, and the bookies are scratting around for names to encourage punters to bet. But is Shearer in with ANY chance of a Premiership job. He had eight games at Newcastle and his beloved Toon were relegated, and that was two years ago. Fulham's Mark Hughesis one of the early favourite with bookmakers, and a more realistic bet. Houllier's nine-month reign ended by mutual consent because of his recent heart problems which resulted in him not taking charge the final five games of last season. Everton boss David Moyes is the preferred choice of 44% of fans who took part in a poll conducted by the Birmingham Mail. But it is former Wales boss Hughes who appears to be the early front-runner.
