Souness: I’ll help guide ‘Brat Pack’

NEW Newcastle boss Graeme Souness will enlist the help of Alan Shearer and his senior team-mates as he attempts to get to grips with the St James’ Park “Brat Pack.”

The 51-year-old Scot walked into St James' Park yesterday promising to do everything within his power to bring silverware to Tyneside after 35 years without a trophy.

Talk of dressing-room rifts was rife as Bobby Robson's five-year reign came to an end with Shearer, Kieron Dyer and Craig Bellamy among others having their say over different issues and to markedly differing responses.
