There are no quotes, but the Chronicle reports: "Shearer has indicated he is ready to take the manager's job at Newcastle United if it is offered to him by the club's new owners as he prepares to bid farewell to the comfort of the television studio.

"Shearer has always maintained he would not consider working for the club's present owner Mike Ashley following the way his former boss and friend Kevin Keegan was forced out by the two-tiered management structure which took the signing of players out of his sphere of influence.

"But the former United captain would be happy to talk to the people who eventually replace Ashley's regime at St James's Park after indicating to friends he is ready to take up the challenge of management.

Coming from the London media you would hoy the paper in the bin, but the Chronicle is (without doubt) the closest to the "inside news" at SJP.
