Alan Shearer: "I don't think it would be difficult for me to walk away. That is the plan, keep the football club up and then the powers that be can decide which direction they go in."I probably would not have done it for any other club, not at this stage.
"But I haven't taken this job for me. I could have been sat on the sofa on Saturday evening being analytical and critical.
"I love that job but the opportunity is right and I believe I can help the football club.
"Now it is my job now to try to get things right."
