Alan Shearer admits he is returning to the BBC sofa and won't be taking the Newcastle United job.
Shearer, whose eight games in charge failed to prevent relegation, confirmed he will see United kick-off their opening Championship match at West Bromwich next Saturday from a BBC studio as a TV pundit.
"At this moment that's what I'll be doing, talking about the match which is live on television,' he said.
"Of course, things can change but I've heard nothing from anybody at Newcastle. I've another year of my BBC contract and obviously I've got to think about the future."
