“We are delighted that Chris has accepted the post of full time manager. He has done a terrific job this season and we wish him every success for the rest of this season and beyond. He will continue to receive our full backing and support.”

And Chris Hughton added:

“It is a very proud day for me to be named as the manager of this magnificent football club. I thank Mike and Derek for their support and will be doing everything in my power to get the Club back into the Premier League at the first time of asking.

“Having the unequivocal backing of the players has helped me enormously and I would also like to thank Colin Calderwood, Paul Barron and the rest of the backroom staff who have never been anything but tremendously supportive to me this season.”

Whilst confirming these two matters, Newcastle United now aims to move forward on and off the pitch. The Club aims to maximise its commercial revenues; this includes renegotiating its Club sponsor and kit deal, which expire at the end of this season, as well as welcoming offers for the stadium naming rights for next season.

Dear Ed……………. Have you any idea what this means, eh?

For the love of God, please don’t ever paste that fat twat’s photo on this board ever again.

You may use a photo of a pile of dog/cat/hamster/pigeon/chicken shite or anything that resembles lard/cooking fat/any type of oil or even Atora suet…ok.

Instead, let us start a CRUSADE to remove the blood-sucking leach and everything else that is fat from our club once and for all.

I feel a good old-fashioned lynching is in order.
Maybe a hanging/stoning/electrocution/strangulation/Chinese torture – flour or egg hoying at least!

HOWAY ME BONNY LADS!!!!!

If we don’t owe it to ourselves, we owe it to wor Bobby.

Selling the name of st james park is a step in the wrong direction
