Alan Shearer Club Quotations

It's been far too long that this club has been without silverware, but we've got a great chance to change that,

I'm not selling the club to him any more. I don't think I have to - the tough part was getting him here. We all said that, if we were to get him here, he would take to the football club, the area and the people. I think he's done that. The people have certainly taken to him - not only on the football pitch, but off it as well. They've made him feel very welcome and he's grateful for that. He likes the area, which I think is a big plus.

I'd like to play for Newcastle United before I retire. The club is in my blood.

The managers are getting paid very well by their respective clubs to do a job for their clubs not the country they are working in.

I've always said I'd like to give management a crack one day, but I'm not ready for this big club yet. It's a massive club with a great following and whoever gets it right will have great job on their hands because it is a big, big football club.

Some players are criticised for having no loyalty. Well, I wanted to go back home and play for the club I supported. I don't think that's a crime.
