The previous review of the current squad, took a look at the Newcastle defence, an area that this season we’ve been surprisingly strong in, given our poor reputation in recent years. Today’s review looks at arguably the fulcrum of a successful team, the midfield, the place that could and should control a game and dictate [...]

Mike Ashley will be a happy man after Newcastle managed to move on Geremi as early as the third day of January. High-earner Geremi has only made nine appearances for us this season and Turkish side, Ankaragücü have signed him on an 18-month deal, where he’ll join former Aston Villa and Man City forward Darius [...]

It has long been reported that Leon Cort has been on Hughton’s radar but Hughton has been telling the Chronicle that he’s not in any rush to sign players [...]

Newcastle United’s vintage ginger playbreaker, Nicky Butt, has been giving his thoughts on life in the Championship so far, with the lads about to face their seventeenth league game of the season against Preston North End at Deepdale. “It’s a bit of a strange division and one that is very hard to predict.” Butt mused.

Nicky Butt has recently called for Chris Hughton to be made permanent manager of Newcastle United, but what are the options?
