Newcastle CEO Darren Eales met with the new Fan Advisory Board late last month, and the notes from the meeting have just been released.
We covered earlier today what CEO Darren Eales said about the possible expansion of St. James’ Park and the study on that is expected to be released next month.
This is some of what CEO Darren Eales said about Newcastle’s ambitions for the future:
“We’re going to build a results-driven, world-class, sustainable organization that consistently achieves top-six status for men’s and women’s teams and wins major trophies, within the next five years.”
“The club’s revenue growth over the last two seasons and into this season has been incredible.”
“Off the pitch, because we started from a low revenue base, we are still a long way behind the top six in the Premier League.”
“Since we can only spend a percentage of revenue, we always look to spend the maximum we can on the team within the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
“This means it is vital that we look at ways to raise revenue streams, whether through matchday, St. James’ STACK, commercial partnerships, retail/merchandise, tours, hospitality and events.”
Those are positive statements from Darren Eales, and they will help keep some of our top players at Newcastle on the journey to our club becoming a world-class team and organization.
They will also help us to recruit new players this summer.
But it will be important for Newcastle to get enough points in our final 10 league games so we can offer players European football next season, even if it’s the Europa Conference.
That may be difficult given our current position of 10th in the league.

Comment #87Yeah, big congrats to AG and Show em what you’ve got 😀
Anyone know any Everton fans? Do they still think they robbed us paying 45m for him?
Tbf I really wasn’t keen on him at all and even less at that price but hands up, couldn’t have been more wrong.

Comment #91Jail…Possibly, but tbf if a team scores from ko they have to get passed 10 players to score so I can’t imagine it was his fault.

Comment #112Just got back from women’s final. Well, I only live 7 miles down the road so had to be there. Feel gutted for our girls. They created enough to win it and had some great chances early second half but hashtag made some very good defensive blocks. And their keeper made a few decent saves. We were dominating the second half but fell away a bit once our subs were made and then they scored about 10 mins from the end. Our only real chance after that was a penalty that was denied us. Looked nailed on for me. There were some good footballers on the pitch but there’s no point going to these games expecting a men’s match. It’s all relative. I enjoyed it. We had about 2.5k fans there in a crowd of 3.5k. The girls were devastated at the end. They knew the significance of a final win. Vital now that this loss doesn’t derail their promotion this season. Loads of families there with teenage girls who clearly follow this team. Not to be mocked.

On another matter if I was a manager I’d remove a finger nail from any player who cuts a hole in their socks. Gallagher’s are fukn ridiculous man. Too harsh?

Comment #120Brazil have had some cracking players over the years obviously but for me the magic left once the likes of Zico, Socrates, Junior, Eder, Falcao, Cerezo etc al finished. ’82 the best/most exciting for me in my memory despite not getting to the final.
