Shearer picks out three to keep on
ALAN Shearer will begin discussions with Mike Ashley today by asking Newcastle United's embattled owner not to include Nicky Butt, Steven Taylor and Steve Harper as part of the club's post-relegation fire sale.
Shearer was at Newcastle's Darsley Park training ground yesterday for a gentle conditioning session with the players responsible for ending United's 16-year stint in the top flight - but United's caretaker manager will begin the serious business of sorting out his future today and tomorrow.
Ashley is understood to be preparing a four-year contract offer for Shearer, as well as offering him assurances of a sizeable transfer fund if he can move the club's big earners off the books.
