Newcastle United boss Joe Kinnear doesn't believe reports that Alan Shearer is eyeing an immediate return to the club.
"If I was looking at it from Alan's side, as a legend and great player up here, maybe it would be tough on him if he came into a position where he didn't have finances," Kinnear told the Sunday Sun.
"I'm sure the first thing he would say is: 'I want to build my own team and buy my own players'.
"Would he come in as it is now? I doubt it."
