‘No’ – Alan Shearer turns down Newcastle United role after expressing transfer concern
Alan Shearer admits Newcastle United’s boardroom departures and lack of transfer activity has left him feeling concerned.
Paul Mitchell officially left his role as sporting director this week having failed to secure a major signing during his year at the football club.
During this summer alone, Newcastle have encountered several knock backs. Presentations were made to representatives of Liam Delap, Mathias Cunha, Joao Pedro and Dean Huijsen, with all deciding, for various reasons, that Chelsea, Manchester United and Real Madrid were more favoured destinations.
Meanwhile, the Magpies were priced out of a move for Man United-bound Bryan Mbeumo after it became apparent the Brentford star wanted a £250,000-a-week salary.
