Be interested to see Shearer and Linekar’s reaction in future MOTD. Will be a gauge of the general mood. Can’t imagine Linekar is impressed but suspect Shearer will act like a giddy goon.
They’re going to take so much shit for so long for this at games. And deservedly so. I would undoubtedly walk away if this happened to us. Football isn’t worth it.
The idea you could just turn a blind eye on the feint promise of success is just abhorrent IMHO.
