could it be true - Alan Shearer returns!

While unsubstantiated by Newcastle, a variety of news sources are reporting that Alan Shearer will assume the command of the Magpies.

Should this rumour be true, this long overdue move, is precisely what is needed.

While the legendary local hero has made it known he wouldn't take the mantle with the present management structure, it seems he has decided to step up and save the day.
