Newcastle fans have taken to Twitter to react after Amanda Staveley revealed she has been texting Alan Shearer regarding a role at the club.
What’s the story?
Well, Staveley clearly knows what the Newcastle fans want to hear.
The 48-year-old revealed she’s been messaging Shearer, and said it’s now up to the BBC Match of the Day pundit to decide what he wants to do.
Staveley also told The Telegraph that she is looking to expand numbers on the Board, and that could include the addition of a fan at that level.

There was already one, but it was slowly bulldozed by Mike Ashley.
As you can see below, the Newcastle fans on Twitter loved hearing that Staveley has been in contact with Shearer – unsurprisingly so.
