Speaking at the official launch of the premier league at their launch day in London, Alan Shearer had his say on the current Newcastle scenario.
Our record goalscorer was there with many other past and present players as well as coaches and managers to share many experiences as well as have their opinion aired.
It’s no surprise that the record premier league goalscorer was there for his goalscoring tips as he showed his penalty taking techniques from back in the day as he showed he’s lost none of his ability.
With it all being filmed on Sky Sports, Shearer was asked about our chances for the season and how he sees the current task ahead for Rafa Benitez.
Shearer said: It has been a frustrating summer for him.
At the end of last season, Mike Ashley said he would give every penny he had to Rafa. I don`t know if that has been the case but with his experience and know how, he will set the team up to be very difficult to beat.
There was also a light hearted moment between big Al and recent signing from Norwich, Jacob Murphy.
