For a man who would supposedly "dearly love the chance to finish the job I started last season" (i.e. get Newcastle relegated down to League One), Alan Shearer's actions speak louder than words.
"My last conversation with Mike Ashley was on the Tuesday after we'd been relegated," Shearer told Football Focus at lunchtime.
"I told him the players I wanted to keep, the players I thought had to be moved on, and the players I wanted to bring in. He said he wasn't going to put any more money into the club, and that is it as far as I'm aware."
You'd think a man who was gagging for the job might have bothered to pick up the phone sometime in the past three months, wouldn't you?
