Talking to the media yesterday Shearer always refered to Newcastle as "they", keeping his distance from any more speculation of him taking over the job from Kinnear.
The fact remains, Shearer WILL be on Match Of The Day next season ... but will Newcastle?
The interim boss told reporters Newcastle are already "looking for new players" and have already made a move on a couple.
BUT who is bringing those players to the club? Who WANTS them, if we haven't got a manager in place? Again pointing to Mike Ashley's strange way of doing business.
