Alan Shearer insists his return to St James' Park as temporary manager cannot be allowed to detract from the serious situation the club are in. Newcastle's record goalscorer has taken over for the final eight matches of the season with the club in deep trouble near the foot of the table. They are third-bottom, two points from safety having won one of their past 12 matches and with Chelsea the visitors tomorrow.
