Alan Shearer is on a bonus of near £2 million to keep Newcastle United up in the remaining eight games of the season.
The Sun says Shearer will pocket a whopping £1.8million if he keeps Newcastle up - £100,000 per game plus £1m for survival.
The former England striker will be trying to lift Newcastle from 18th spot, starting in this Saturday's home clash with Chelsea.
Shearer will be officially unveiled today after taking training.
The future of actual boss Joe Kinnear, recovering from heart surgery, remains unclear.
