Alan Shearer to be offered four-year deal to bring Newcastle back to the Premier League

Alan Shearer will be offered a four-year contract to rescue Newcastle from their relegation disaster.
And as he prepares for talks with owner Mike Ashley today, Shearer warned his flops there will be "big changes next season", and not all of them would survive the inevitable summer cull.
Shearer wants control of all recruitment and a budget between £10m to £15m to rebuild the squad.
He said: "The problem this club has got is that we are lagging behind. The sooner decisions are made the better for everyone."
Shearer has ordered his players to report back for training earlier than usual, on July 1, and back room staff including Chris Hughton and Colin Calderwood are likely to move on.
