IÂ’m not behind you: Shearer is advising Newcastle against signing his old enemy
Alan Shearer has reignited his feud with Craig Bellamy by warning new boss Sam Allardyce to steer clear of re-signing him for Newcastle. Bellamy has been linked with a return to St JamesÂ’ Park as Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has indicated he will unload the forward after only a season with the beaten Champions League finalists.
The new Wales captain was also linked with West Ham, Blackburn, Juventus and Roma last week but Shearer — among those who endured a tempestuous relationship with the striker during their Newcastle days — remembers his disruptive influence more than most.
The former England captain was also sent abusive text messages by Bellamy when the latter was eventually sold by Graeme Souness. Bellamy is alleged to have taunted Shearer with: "Your legs are gone. YouÂ’re too old. YouÂ’re too slow," after NewcastleÂ’s 4-1 FA Cup semi-final defeat by Manchester United in 2005.
Shearer was said to have shaken visibly with rage and threatened to "knock his block off". Allardyce has already signed Joey Barton and Mark Viduka but Shearer fears Bellamy could also be lined up as the manager is on the verge of being handed substantial funding by new billionaire owner Mike Ashley.
Shearer said: "I was having a few days away in France with Gary Speed and Steve Harper and the wives and I picked up a newspaper. I was having a fantastic day but when I read Bellamy for Newcastle, I thought I would definitely have to have another drink, so I had several. "Has no one learned their lesson about signing him? If only Rafa Benitez had rung me, I wouldÂ’ve told him exactly what he was like. I hope there isnÂ’t anything in it.
"It would be interesting, especially with Terry McDermott still here, because there was a scuffle at Anfield when Craig and Terry were coming down the tunnel." -

I was shocked when I first read this.
Bellamy did have a good season at blackburn prior to moving to Liverpool.
But for Shearer to stand and say this, something is certainly brewing underneath the surface.
Let's just say that Shearer has enjoyed many benefits of the doubts cause of his English captaincy. -
ruud guillit and bobby robson both got sacked after dropping shearer and sir bobby was the best newcastle manager in recent years.....Originally posted by the Bear:i have to disagree...
