Shearer: I fear for relegated Sunderland

Former Newcastle United striker Alan Shearer says he fears for relegated Sunderland after they were relegated from the Premier League

Sunderland's 10-year stay in the Premier League came to an end as Bournemouth beat them at the Stadium of Light.

Shearer said: "When there’s disinterest from the top, at the very top, then I think that’s transferred itself down onto the pitch.

"They’ve flirted with relegation for the last three or four years and had a few miracles out there but it was always going to happen because of the situation that they find themselves in."

The defeat was Sunderland's 23rd of the season and means the Black Cats are relegated from the Premier League in David Moyes' first season in charge.
