Alan Shearer

Yeah, I'm with that.

I mean, Eddie gave me my best day as a Newcastle fan in my lifetime.

So I'm not turning on him at all.

I think you have to look at the...

look at the bigger picture as to see why and what's going on rather than just say, okay, and I get it, that results.

Because of the very high standards that he's set, Champions League football continually getting to latter stages of a cup competitions, which we've always struggled in, you know, and getting to Champions League and all of that.

And that's the standard that he's set now.

So when you drop below that, then you're going to come in for some criticism.

And I get that and understand that.

because as a manager, you have to go out when you have to win games.

And at the minute, Newcastle are not, and they're not sitting pretty in the Premier League with what they've spent.

So let's get back to the, let's look at the bigger picture.

What happened and how come Newcastle are here now?

What did happen, Alan?

Well, I'm not on the inside, so I'm only looking at it from an outsider's point of view.

It looks as if to me is that

What's happened in the summer hasn't helped anyone because they didn't have no sporting director.

They didn't have any chief executive.

And that for me clearly wasn't right.

And it left the club in a bit of turmoil.
