Alan Shearer has finally spoken out about the ongoing talks surrounding his future at the club. After owner Mike Ashley put the club on the market it was thought that all ongoing talks would be jeopardised. However Shearer has insisted that he still wants to be manager and hopes to know more by the end of the week. He also dismissed rumours he was making unreasonable demands.
He said;
"I met Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias last week and we discussed at length the future of Newcastle United and my desire to be the manager moving forward.
I made no demands but there were obvious conditions. We simply proposed an honest evaluation of what was needed to get the club back into the Premiership whilst building solid foundations for the future.
I fully understand Mike Ashley's decision to sell the club as he feels it's now in the best interest of the club and the fans.
I hope to know more by the end of the week."
