Fans wait to see if Shearer is staying
MIKE Ashley said sorry to Newcastle United's supporters last night but after a day of talks he was still unable to give them the news they most wanted - that Alan Shearer will be the Magpies' next permanent manager.
Shearer spent about seven hours in talks at United's Darsley Park training complex yesterday discussing his and the club's future. But owner Ashley left in the evening with nothing more to offer than an apology. He will hope more negotiating today brings agreement from the club's record goalscorer to continue as team manager.
Shearer's eight-game contract as interim boss expired on Monday, the day after the club was relegated to the Championship after 16 seasons in the Premier League.
