Shearer's move to Blackburn was a pivotal moment in the Premier League's inaugural season, backed by the ambition of their new owner Jack Walker. After an injury-hit first campaign where he scored 16 goals, Shearer exploded in the 1993-94 season with 31 goals from 40 games. The following season, he formed a formidable strike partnership with Chris Sutton and his 34 goals were crucial to Blackburn's title win, the only major honour of his career.

"If I was him, I'd get his agent in a room and sack him on the spot immediately, because he is meant to be giving him the advice to sign that six-year deal and there's no get out clause," Shearer told Betfair. "I mean, it's ridiculous. And to take anyone's word in football, it's nonsensical to say that someone said, 'Oh, I'll be able to get out at the end of the season.' Really? I mean, come on. "I've always said there are two sides to every story, but my feelings are exactly the same: he's gone about it in the wrong way. "I just think even releasing this statement last night has thrown flames onto the fire, which he didn't need to do. "I get that we needed to hear his side of the story,"

Alan Shearer stated it would take a very brave person to say Chelsea will not be involved in the title hunt next year due to their achievements this season.
