Ex-Newcastle skipper Allan Shearer open to a new role with club

Alan Shearer has said he’d be open to taking on a role with Newcastle United.

There has been talk of Shearer returning in an ambassadorial role after the club’s sale.

“That’s all it has been, is talk. They’ve got far important and bigger decisions to make than who they’re going to bring in as an ambassador,” Shearer told Sky Sports.

“If they want to sit down and talk then of course I’ll be willing to do that but at the minute there hasn’t been anything and I wouldn’t expect there to be anything.”

Shearer had been an outspoken critic of former owner Mike Ashley.
