Alan Shearer "to become Newcastle boss"
Alan Shearer will be appointed as Newcastle manager until the end of the season, it was claimed tonight.
A Newcastle legend, Shearer, 38, has been constantly linked with a return to the club and admitted in September last year that he would like to be manager.
Chris Hughton is currently in caretaker charge at St James' Park as interim manager Joe Kinnear recovers from a triple heart bypass.
Shearer rejected an invitation to join Newcastle as a coach last November.
