The Mirror claims Geordie legend Alan Shearer is to sign a four-year contract with Newcastle and has promised to bring the Toon back into the top flight. According to the report, the former England striker will be holding talks with Mike Ashley soon.
Being that this report is from the Mirror, there's a good chance of it being a work of fiction. On Sunday, after Newcastle's relegation, Shearer refused to comment on his future at the club and rightly so. Shearer was dragged into the mess at St James Park when it was already too late for the club.
The foundations for the drop were well laid out by Ashley, Keegan, the Cockney Mafia and Greg Kinnear well before Shearer took on the job.
But Shearer, being Shearer, may be feeling some sense of responsibility for the drop and that only someone with his passion for the club will be able to bring Newcastle back into the Premier League. My only question is if Shearer truly wants to sacrifice the next four years of his life trying to save that club. Many more qualified managers have come before and failed.
Stay tuned for more developments.
