It was Rob Lee who said last weekend that Mike Ashley had better get the club sorted soon or Alan Shearer would walk away from the job.
Something Shearer was quick to point "is NOT true"!
Alan Shearer: "I don't know where that's come from, it's certainly not from myself.
"I want it sorted out as quickly as everyone else does.
"I'm a fan like everyone else and I don't like to see the situation the club is in.
"I know as much as you. I would dearly love it to be sorted out one way or the other then the club can move forward.
"I am the same as everyone else, I am in limbo. I don't know what is going on.
"Everyone is telling me there are people in to buy the club. If that is the case, then great."
