Latest:
Saudis seek partners
Following reports by Reuters news that PIF were in talks to dilute
its stake in Newcastle United, The Times claiming that up
to 25% of their shareholding is in line to be sold.
They write that it "is seen as key in an attempt to get equity
into the club before the announcement of a proposed £200m training
ground at Woolsington and further talks on a possible new stadium
that could cost more than £1bn."
The Times calculate that selling that shareholding could
raise £300m+, based on the club's claimed value of £1.5bn and that
the investment would be crucial to help fund either a redevelopment
of St. James' Park or a brand new stadium.
2026/27:
More Murrayfield talk
Wednesday brought further claims of
a pre-season fixture between Newcastle and Everton at Edinburgh's Murrayfield
Stadium, possibly on Wednesday August 12th.
A game on that date appeared on the Ticketmaster website before the
linked page was taken down - neither club have confirmed the fixture
as yet.
A pair of home friendlies over the weekend of August 15th/16th is
anticipated, with Serie A side AS Roma and French League Strasbourg
among rumoured opponents.
Update:
Euro hopes over
Chelsea's 2-1 victory over Spurs on Tuesday night means that the
highest position that Newcastle can finish in on Sunday is ninth
- ending their faint hopes of qualifying for next season's UEFA
Conference League.
As a consequence of that, the Magpies will enter the Carabao Cup in
the Second Round (dates tbc).
Championship:
Humber v Tees
Update:
Southampton's appeal against their expulsion and points deduction
was dismissed on Wednesday evening.
Earlier: Having admitted to three
counts of spying on opposition training sessions this season,
Southampton were expelled from the Championship playoff final by an
independent disciplinary commission on Tuesday.
As a consequence Hull City will face Middlesbrough at Wembley on Saturday
(3.30pm)
for a place in the Premier League alongside Coventry City and Ipswich Town. They have also been deducted four
points next season.
Update:
Leazes Terrace latest
From NUFC, Tuesday:
Newcastle United has completed the purchase of a significant
portion of the historic Leazes Terrace building next to St.
James' Park (for a claimed £25m).
The acquisition of a substantial majority of the Grade I
listed structure includes its northern, southern and western
elevations – including all areas facing the stadium.
It also includes most of its eastern elevation, with a small
block of private residences remaining in this part of the building.
This strategic purchase is part of the club's long-term
planning as it continues to assess all credible and feasible options
for the future of its home stadium.
It provides Newcastle United with greater flexibility and
ensures any future decisions support the club's ambitions, as well
as its responsibilities to the local community and the city of
Newcastle upon Tyne.
The club recognises the building’s historic and architectural
significance and is committed to its preservation.
There are no plans to change the current use of Leazes
Terrace, which is currently let for student accommodation, and the
club will retain the building’s existing property management
operator.
The investment to purchase Leazes Terrace does not impact the
club's football trading position.
This will doubtless fuel speculation that a
redeveloped SJP including an enlarged East Stand could be in the
offing, as opposed to a new stadium built elsewhere.
As stated in the press release though, it's only a part purchase and
the building retains Grade 1 listed status, which remains a
significant barrier to redevelopment regardless of who owns it.
It may be more realistic to see this in the context of the land
acquisition around Strawberry Place; a strategic move
future-proofing an area bordering SJP for PIF, regardless of whether
the football club remain there in the future.

Stats:
Newcastle have scored 17 times in their 18 PL games on the road
this so far this season, less than half of their 2023/24 total of 36
and inferior to last season's tally of 28.
Were they not to find the net on Sunday, that total of 17 would
be the fewest since the 2015/16 relegation season when they scraped
up to 12.
18 PL fixtures away from SJP have harvested 17 points, via four
wins and five draws. That compares unfavourably with last season's
final total of 28 points, but success in SW6 would see United match
2023/24's 20 point haul.

Wooden spoon avoided
Newcastle's debut
at the International U19 football tournament in the Swiss
town of Altstatten saw them record a seventh place finish at the
eight team event.
The Magpies began their three group games on Friday by defeating
Danes Brondby 1-0, defender Henry Johnson on target with four
minutes of the scheduled 40 to play.
0-1 defeats by Croatians Dinamo Zagreb and Swiss side St.Gallen
left United bottom of their four team group, consigning them to a
7th/8th place playoff on Saturday against Nottingham Forest.
That finished 2-0 to Newcastle, thanks to goals from Kyle Fitzgerald
and Kacey Wooster.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
buy.
Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
Regardless of the loyalty point level a game sells out at, to purchase a
ticket you must have applied in the initial 24 hour window.
The initial purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division usually get two hours head start.
NB: emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify due to your points total, log
on and complete your purchase.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants are then offered to unsuccessful applicants with a
reduced loyalty points total - new applications cannot be made at this time.
Only those within the new loyalty point total are
eligible to buy - even if you had more, your purchase window has already
closed.
PL away ticket prices will remain unchanged at £30 for both 2026/27 and
2027/28.

On This Day in History |

21st May |

Born Or Died:
1895
Andy Smailes born, Radcliffe,
Northumberland. (1919-22)
Inside right signed from Blyth
Spartans at a cost of £300, having begun his playing career with Ashington.
Debuting in a 1-2 defeat at Sheffield United in December 1919,
Smailes marked his SJP debut with a goal in a 2-1 victory over the Blades a
week later.
Enjoying his best season in 1920/21 when netting 18 league goals - one less
than top scorer Neil Harris - Smailes fell from favour and played his final
game in a 0-2 loss at Sheffield United in September 1922.
Signing for Sheffield Wednesday in a £1,500 deal the following month, Smailes
moved again 12 months later, to Bristol City.
Joining Rotherham as a centre half in August 1929, he switched from player to
trainer in 1934 and was Millers boss from 1952 to 1958 - narrowly failing to
gain promotion to the First Division on goal average in 1955.
Managing Scarborough between 1959 and 1961, Andy's passing was recorded in the
Somerset town of Shepton Mallet during October 1978.
1975
Laurent Robert born, Saint-Benoit,
La
Réunion. (2001-05)
French international left winger
who began his career with Montpelier and was signed from Paris St.Germain in August 2001
at a cost of £9.5m.
Introduced to the SJP crowd ahead
of the Intertoto tie with 1860 Munich, Laurent's first outing was in Robert Lee's
testimonial against Athletic Bilbao, before a debut in a 1-1 draw at Chelsea,
with Bobby Robson saying, "I think we have signed a
gem".
Robert's first goal came in his third game for the club and was a memorable effort to cap a 4-1 win at the smoggies.
Three more strikes then followed in four-goal victories (4-3 at home to Man
United, 4-0 at Bolton and 4-1 at home to Ipswich in the League Cup), before
sealing our famous Highbury victory as we topped the table.
Five more goals and various assists followed as United finished fourth, going one place better in
the following campaign - although Laurent enjoyed a less prolific
season in front of goal.
A dozen netbusters followed in what was Sir Bobby's last full campaign
in charge, including two stupendous efforts in a home win over Spurs in
December 2003.
However, those goals and other wonderful free kick conversions were becoming
less and less representative of Robert's input, while writing a regular comment
column on his own website (often critical of the club) hardly endeared him to
colleagues and fans.
Grappling on the training pitch with Andy Griffin and storming into the SJP
press room to confront a reporter showed some of the gallic fire in his belly,
but an awful display on the night we exited from the UEFA Cup in Marseille
showed up his unreliability.
The final season of Robert's SJP career was something of a long
goodbye, his attitude never likely to prove popular with the
newly-installed Graeme Souness.
This had come to a head by the time United played the second leg of their UEFA
Cup Quarter Final away to Sporting Lisbon.
Robert watching from the stand as his side threw away a lead having being
dropped following pre-match comments in the press criticising club
performances, tactics and transfers - claiming (correctly) that United had gone
backwards in twelve months.
With no communication between him and Souness a parting was inevitable and
following a farewell bow against Chelsea when he left the SJP pitch clad only
in grey underpants, his bags were packed.
Pantaloon
Joining Portsmouth on a
season-long loan, the departure of French boss Alain Perrin soon sent that into
a tailspin - after just one goal and a public refusal to be among the substitute in
a game at the mackems.
Nominally a Newcastle player again in late 2005, he was released from his deal
and joined Portuguese side Benfica in 2006.
After just one year in Lisbon though, he was sold on to Spanish side Levante
and after an equally uninspiring spell in La Liga returned to
England with Derby County in 2008.
However, Robert played just four times for the Rams and could do nothing to halt
their headlong slide into the Championship.
His next stop was Canada, signing
for MLS side Toronto after a successful trial, playing under his former United coach John Carver.
That lasted barely five months though before the winger was on the move again,
linking up with his one-time Magpies team mate Nicos Dabizas at Greek side
Larissa.
Back in France by
2009 Robert tried to keep fit by training with former club PSG - along with
fellow free agent, Fabrice Pancrate.
And when the latter was offered a trial at SJP, Robert encouraged him to go -
before urging United to let him return, when a deal was agreed for Pancrate.
Chris Hughton mysteriously lost his number though....
Hanging up his boots, Laurent returned to former club Montpellier during 2014
as a coach, assisting their youth and women's teams.
1990 James
Marwood born St. Albans.
(2006-09)
Reserve and Academy midfielder who made his second string debut off the bench
during March 2007 against Sheffield United.
The son of former Hull City, Arsenal, Sheffield Wednesday
and Sheffield United winger
Brian, James failed to win a professional deal at SJP
and left in 2009, having suffered
numerous injury setbacks.
After trials at both Darlington and Carlisle,
Marwood signed for Blyth Spartans and later joined
Gateshead, via Northern League side, Team Northumbria.
Loaned to AFC Halifax during the 2011/12 season, James returned to the
International Stadium and agreed a new contract with the Tynesiders in
2012.
Leaving three years later, Marwood had stints at St.Mirren and Forest Green Rovers
before
returning to
Gateshead.
Gaining his UEFA B licence, James
joined San Diego-based PDL side SoCal Surf
Soccer before moving back to
England in 2018 to coach at Boro's academy.
Stepping up to become their U18 manager in 2023, 2024 then saw Marwood rejoin
Newcastle as assistant U18 boss.
1991
Max Johnson born, Norwich.
(2007-10)
Academy 'keeper signed from Bury in 2007,
only to sustain knee ligament damage
on his debut that sidelined
him for five months.
Appearing for the club's U18s, Max also guested for Chorley in a pre-season
friendly ahead of the 2009/10 season and had a stint on loan at Motherwell soon
after.
Regular bench cover for Newcastle's reserve side, Johnson made his second string
debut against Boro at Whitley Park in April 2010.
Leaving United soon after, his next port of call was Inverness
Caledonian Thistle, before training with Colorado
Rapids over in the USA the following summer.
Beginning the 2011/12 campaign back in the region with
Blyth Spartans, Max was then spotted in the
colours of non-league sides Bacup Borough and Woodley Sports, while also
training with Manchester City.
Graduating to the City reserve team squad,
he unfortunately suffered another knee injury while playing in a training
ground game in February - assisting with coaching at City's Academy while regaining fitness.
A short-term move to Barrow in March 2013 as cover failed to see
Max play for the Bluebirds, but he continued his coaching career at Manchester
City and as part of the Manchester International Football Academy.

After Iam McFaul's penalty save at Ibrox had kept the
tie scoreless after the first leg, second half goals from
two of our Scottish-born players sent us into the final.
Sinclair's goal sparked a hail of bottles from the Rangers fans in the Gallowgate End
on to the field - and a pitch invasion that followed halted play for
17
minutes.
Police made 30 arrests - all but five of which were from
Clydeside - and 89 fans needed medical attention.
Trouble had flared before the game in the city centre with
pubs and shops vandalised, while visiting fans forced a
gate at the Gallowgate End open to gain entry to the
ground.
And there had been a brief stoppage before half time in
the tie, when Rangers supporters spilled on to the field
after a bottle was thrown at their own 'keeper, Gerhardt
Neef.

Little
over a week after his 26th birthday, Newcastle confirmed that midfielder Jamie McClen had been released
by the club.
That brought an end to the Toon career of a man labelled in some
quarters as "the luckiest **** on Tyneside" -
even if many fans still didn't know his name (McClen not McGlen...).
2008 The London Evening Standard stated that
Chris Mort would be standing down as Newcastle Chairman
with immediate effect.
His replacement was announced as Derek Llambias, an Ashley
associate and Managing Director of a London casino. The
story came as something of a shock to North East
journalists - the shape of things to come....
