Alan Shearer reacts to Mike Ashley's latest 'promise' after meal with Rafa Benitez

Alan Shearer has taken to Twitter to post nothing but laughing faces in response to news that Mike Ashley will take the entire NUFC squad on holiday if we stay up.

It's an apt reaction, with many finding Mike Ashley's latest PR stunt a laughable attempt to 'build bridges' after neglecting the club all summer, however this is just further proof that we are becoming a laughing stock under his ownership unfortunately.

This comes following his meal with Benitez, his staff and the first-team squad last night - with Shearer posting the following reaction to Craig Hope's big reveal from Wednesday night's meeting:

Ashley may well pay for their pizza and a holiday should we stay up, but it's all a case of too little too late.

Benitez doesn't need his pasta paid for and the players don't need free holiday's - we need a club that's run professionally and an owner that shows ambition.
