Toon Not Big Enough For Shearer And Keegan?

Keegan declined to confirm an interest in the job and the Magpies have yet to say that Shearer is in contention.

Shearer: "I haven't spoken to Kevin for a long time.

"Am I wanting the job? One day, hopefully."

Shearer was signed for Newcastle by Keegan from Blackburn Rovers in 1996, but could the pair work with Keegan playing second fiddle to a newcomer to management?

It's certainly seen by many as the "dream ticket", but is club owner Mike Ashley going for the bait? We will have to wait and see.
