In case anybody has been living under a rock, the moon, or you’re from Sunderland and you just don’t want to believe it, Newcastle United have been sold, and our new owners are rich, and not just a little rich, mega rich! The consortium led by Amanda Staveley’s PCP partners, and flanked by the Ruebe

Jose Mourinho. Need I say anything more? Arguably one of the greatest managers in the world and one of the most decorated. After having what can only be described as an uneventful playing career, he made the transition into coaching starting off as a translator for the legendary Sir Bobby Robson at

Moves for Raheem Sterling and Mo Salah are ridiculous to say the least at this stage of the long-term project which is only beginning to bubble on Tyne
I’ve been pretty vocal this week about why I believe the consortium should have let Bruce go at the beginning of this week. The reasoning is pretty simple, he loses football matches and we need to start winning them quickly. What I keep being told is that “they know what they are doing” and to...
