Sharp Comment re Sousa Appointment...Success for Gino Padula

Congratulations To Gino Padula, whose Columbus Crew won the MLS Cup - Visit the QPR Report Messageboard Sam Wallace/The Independent
"...If you want English managers to succeed, for the England team to be successful one day under an English manager, then there should be a part of you that wishes Shearer well. He represents a whole generation of former English footballers making their way in management. Something to cling to in these mad times when Queen's Park Rangers appoint a Portuguese bloke on the basis he was once a good player, even though his entire management experience concerns coaching an Under-16 team.
- If there is a place for Paulo Sousa in English football, there has to be one for Shearer too. Naturally, he will be picky because, unlike famous former England internationals from Sir Bobby Charlton to John Barnes, he will not want to be perceived as a failure in his first management job. A good way to make sure that is not the case is to start somewhere, anywhere, other than his beloved Newcastle. The Independent
