Shearer to be offered four-year deal

Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley will offer Alan Shearer a four-year deal to become manager at the club today.

Ashley is set for talks with Shearer about the future of the club following relegation from the Premier League.

Ashley will tell Shearer that he wants the club’s wage bill cut by £30million.

A source told The Sun: “Alan has a good working relationship with Ashley who knows he can’t act how he did with Kevin Keegan if the club are to get themselves out of this mess.

“He is taking on board everything Alan is saying.

“Mike knows he needs to be getting on with Shearer far better than previous managers.”
