This is what walker told Shepherd


Shepherd and United chief Martin Edwards had previously agreed that neither club would go above their £10m valuation of the player.

That, however, soon changed after Shearer scored five times at Euro 96 to become the continent’s hottest property and duly signed for his hometown team in a £15m deal.
‘I had an agreement with Martin Edwards that neither club would go over £10m,’ Shepherd told the Chronicle.

‘Alan told us he’d met Man U but he wanted to “come home”, as you would. Martin rang me and said, “We’re going to go over the 10”.

‘I said “Oh aye”, but I already knew that it had leaked out that Shearer had met (Alex) Ferguson. He (Shearer) told us we had to speak to Jack (Walker).

‘Jack said, “It’s £25m to Man U but for you it’s £15m!”. He wanted the deal done straight away and the money up front.’

I trust Freddy Shepherd about as much as the Daily Mail but as you've provided at least a source of some kind to back your statement up, I'd say that's worth a from me
