Newcastle legend Alan Shearer is "worried" about
the club's current plight as their season of turmoil continued with
a 3-0 defeat at Blackburn.
The Magpies' misery was compounded by the sending off of
Nicky Butt whilst team-mates Joey Barton and Jose Enrique were seen
squabbling after one of the goals and had to be
separated.
The result left Newcastle just two points above the Premier
League relegation zone and came after a midweek FA Cup loss to Hull
in which manager Joe Kinnear was sent to the stands.
Shearer told the BBC's 'Match of the Day' programme: "It's very
frustrating to see the goals they conceded, to see the players
fighting amongst themselves. It's not looking good.
"They are out of the cup, the manager gets sent off in midweek,
Nicky Butt gets sent off, they concede three goals, players want to
leave.
"It's not a nice situation. I'm worried and I really don't think
I'm the only one. I think there are 52,000 people worried as well
at the current situation."
