Newcastle legend Shearer wanted for Sheffield Wednesday job

[ADELAIDE OWL]

Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer is being offered the Sheffield Wednesday manager's job by the consortium seeking to takeover the club.

The Sun says Shearer has been sounded out by the potential buyers to be new Owls boss.


Shearer is waiting to see if the buyout comes off before making any commitments - but has not ruled out replacing Brian Laws.

It is believed Russian billionaire Vladimir Yevtushenkov, a telecom tycoon, is putting up the cash to buy Wednesday.

But the deal is being brokered by Geoff Sheard, a Lancashire businessman.

Yevtushenkov is the world's 72nd richest man and would give Shearer a limitless budget to play with.

Around £60m has been earmarked for the purchase with a £250m investment being made over the next five years.

A source close to Shearer said: "Alan knows what's going on and that the new people want him."

I Hope this story is BS as Brian Laws deserves a chance that he can move SWFC into the top 6,
especially after the club had to sell our top 4 player due to the lack of funds!
