''I made that clear last week.'' Asked if he expected to be consulted over Gullit's replacement, he said: ''No. We're football players and we'll give our best to the football club. We have to improve, and whatever other people decide, that's their job, not our job.''    Shearer's festering relationship with Gullit, which saw the England captain forced to sit on the bench for Wednesday night's 2-1 home defeat by Sunderland, has been a topic of much discussion in recent weeks, and there is little doubt that the failure of the manager's ultimate gamble was a factor in his decision to go.    But while the player admits that there was no love lost between the two, he denied that there was a rift and said he was as surprised as anyone when he received a call at 8.45am on Saturday morning as the news circulated.    ''I was very surprised,'' he said. ''There's no hiding the fact that me and Ruud didn't see eye-to-eye, but I was as surprised as anyone when I heard the news this morning. There wasn't any rift. I made that clear on Tuesday. He had his reasons for leaving me out on Wednesday and you'll have to ask him why he did that.    ''I've always said that no individual is bigger than any football club, never has been and never will be. I took it in the right way and we didn't get a good result, and everything has happened so quickly over the last couple of hours.    ''We as players have to take responsibility as well for the results because we are the players who go out on the football pitch and we are the ones that have to perform. For the first four or five games of the season, we haven't performed.''
