ALAN SHEARER will be offered a four-year deal to become Newcastle boss today.
Shearer will meet Toon owner Mike Ashley and discuss the way forward following Sunday's relegation disaster.
SunSport understands Super Al has begun building a decent relationship with Ashley who will demand the club's wage bill must be slashed by ?30million.
Shearer will make it clear he has the total say on everything from transfers to staff recruitment.
A source said: "Alan has a good working relationship with Ashley who knows he can't act how he did with Kevin Keegan if the club are to get themselves out of this mess.
"He is taking on board everything Alan is saying.
"Mike knows he needs to be getting on with Shearer far better than previous managers."
Ashley is desperate to sort out the managerial situation and plan for next season's promotion bid.
A backroom reshuffle is also expected with Chris Hughton and Colin Calderwood poised to leave.
