Shearer Latest!
Last updated : 21 October 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor
Joe Kinnear has been put in charge of team affairs while owner Mike Ashley looks to find a buyer for the club, but not many see Kinnear as the answer to our prayers.
Alan Shearer was offered a coaching position under Kevin Keegan, but it is the manager's job he wants ... although he said he would see out his BBC contact before turning his attention to management.
Former boss Sir Bobby Robson suggested on Sunday that Shearer was the man with the "clout" to lead us out of their slump in the long term.
Shearer has revealed he is already planning a career in management.
Alan Shearer: "Everyone knows that I've done part of my coaching badges. I haven't done my UEFA Pro Licence which is mandatory but I am going to do it at some stage.
"Management interests me.
"I can't turn round and say 'yes, I would be delighted to come here (to Newcastle)', because that would be wrong of me.
"But management interests me, at some stage of my career."
Nothing new there then!
But rumours from SJP suggest he would be ready to listen to what the new owners (whoever they are) have to offer, and as long as he has FULL CONTROL over team affairs ... he would take the job.
Watch this space!
