Just read that Derek, in Shearer's own words here: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/footb...old-bruce-job/

Like you, I think we will have a poor season under Bruce, probably going down by the end of the season. Bruce will stay on.

Even if we have a decent season, which is hard to imagine right now, there will still be no prospect of us moving forward as a club until Ashley decides to sell or radically changes his policy regarding investment in the club.
