Allardyce Unfazed By Shearer TalkWed 02 Jan, 12:17 AM
Under-pressure Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce has shrugged off speculation he is set to be replaced by Alan Shearer.
Allardyce has come in for increasing flak since taking over a StJames' Park in the summer, a poor run of performances prompting somefans to call for his head.
He was given a vote of confidence by chairman Chris Mort, wholaughed off rumours on Monday that owner Mike Ashley was consideringsacking the 52-year-old.
Allardyce said: "I do not have any worries or concerns as far as they (Mort and Ashley) are concerned.
"The pressure that has been put on them as well as me, theyunderstand it is outside influences trying to exert pressure on them.It is all part of the game."
Asked if he felt St James' Park hero Shearer was casting a shadowover him, he said: "It has always been there and it always will be.There is nothing more to say on the subject."
Allardyce also insisted his transfer window spending has not beencapped and revealed he has already begun compiling a shopping list.
"I am putting players forward to the chairman and decisions will be made from there," he said.
"The players that might be available and are available are being discussed on a regular basis, day to day.
"I was never given an indication of a budget in the summer and it will be similar in this window."
As for possible January departures from St James' Park, Allardyceadded: "It would have to be a very lucrative offer for anyone to moveaway from the club."

Allardyce,who only joined the Magpies from Bolton in the summer, is alreadyforced to worry about whether he will still have a job from one week toanother, which is something that Eriksson can understand but not agreewith.
"Sam Allardyce has thick skin and he can stand up to what ishappening there and will resolve it, |

Newcastle feel the pressure after the 2-0 defeat at home to Manchester City.
Newcastle 0-2 Manchester City
Nigel Pearson[Newcastle assistant manager]: "When you get your chances you have totake them. We've suffered from not being as good as them in either box.It is disappointing for us because at times tonight we were bright butit's not happening for us at the moment. Too much went against us... weshould have had a penalty as well. When things aren't going for youthey tend to carry on not going for you.
"We know we can come out of it, they'll stick with us and we can show them what we can do."
Sven-GoranEriksson: "Of course I am very happy - it has been a long time since welast won a game away from home and it is a very nice way to start 2008." |

United look to see off Madrid for Valencia star ![](http://img.skysports.com/07/10/218x298/albelda_579445.jpg)
According to today's Daily Telegraph, Newcastle United face competition from Spanish Champs Real Madrid for Valencia skipper David Albelda.
Themidfielder was told by Valencia manager Ronald Koeman he could leavethe club in January and Newcastle were one of the first names to bementioned about possibly signing him.
The Magpies could sure dowith a quality midfielder and Albelda would be a quality signing by SamAllardyce but when Real Madrid come knocking very few refuse.
The30-year old 46 caps for Spain and it is unclear yet wheter or not hewill be aloud leave Valencia on a free transfer or not. I wouldpersonally love to see Albelda join the Premier League and I think hewould be a huge success here. |

Butt urges Newcastle to stick with Allardyce
tribalfooball.com - January 03, 2008
![](http://www.tribalfootball.com/images2/spacer.gif)
Nicky Butt has urged Newcastle United's owner Mike Ashley to stick with manager Sam Allardyce."Everybody knows as well as I do that managersare looked upon by results but things will never improve unless Sam isgiven time," said Butt.
"This club can show you that. Since I've beenhere I've had four managers. Someone has got to say 'This is themanager we're going to stand by, in good times and bad times' andhopefully get the rewards for it.
"If you look at all the big teams, ManchesterUnited and Arsenal, and other teams that are doing well, like Everton,they've stood by the managers for a long time. If we do that, I'm surewe'll do it right.
"It's not my job to say it. We're all playingfor the manager and the staff. We know our results and the way we playare going to reflect upon him. We're all fond of him. We all want himto be here and I'm sure - hopefully - he'll get that time." |
