Newcastle United next manager: Roberto Martínez, Steven Gerrard and Unai Emery are the leading contenders
Newcastle United are still looking for potential replacements for manager Steve Bruce and the Times are reporting that Roberto Martinez, Steven Gerrard and Unai Emery are currently the leading contenders. The Premier League side underwent a £300 million takeover earlier this month and the new owners are looking to bring in their own manager. The magpies have had a disastrous start to the season so far and they were beaten by Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League yesterday. Newcastle currently find themselves 19th in the league table and they have failed to win a single Premier League game. It is evident that Bruce is not the right man to lead the club back to its former glories and the new owners will have to bring in a quality replacement. Steve Bruce has now managed 1,000 games in his ...
Newcastle keen on Ralf Rangnick for the sporting director role
Newcastle United are apparently looking for a new sporting director after the £300 million Saudi takeover last week and they have identified Ralf Rangnick as a candidate. According to the Telegraph, the Lokomotiv Moscow manager was a target for Chelsea earlier this year as well. However, the Blues wanted to bring him in as their manager. The German has had successful spells at clubs like RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg in the past and he could prove to be an outstanding appointment for the Magpies. Newcastle are in need of a massive rebuild and they will need an experienced director of football running the operations. Rangnick is widely regarded as one of the best in the business and it remains to be seen whether the Premier League side can lure him to Tyneside. Some of Ralf Rangnick̵...
Newcastle United Transfer News: Mauro Icardi and Kalidou Koulibaly identified as targets
Newcastle United are being linked with a host of new players since the £300 million Saudi-takeover and the latest name linked with a move to St James’s Park is that of the Paris Saint-Germain striker Mauro Icardi. The 28-year-old has had an underwhelming spell at the French club since his move from Inter Milan and he has been linked with a transfer away from the club recently. Icardi has scored just 36 goals in 72 appearances for the French outfit and he has struggled to replicate his prolific Inter Milan form in Paris. The Argentine international could certainly do with a fresh start and a move to the Premier League could be the ideal next step in his career. Newcastle United are in desperate need of a proven goal scorer who can help them climb up the table and Icardi could be a perfect f...

Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard linked with the Newcastle managerial job
Newcastle United have been linked with multiple managers since their takeover went through and Steve Bruce is expected to be relieved of his duties before the end of the season. According to reports from the Telegraph, the likes of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard are potential candidates to replace Bruce at St. James’ park. The Magpies are currently languishing in 19th place and it is hardly surprising that the new owners are already looking to get rid of Bruce and bring in better managers. It has been reported that the Magpies are planning to bring in quality players as well and they will have to bring in a managerial upgrade as well. Bruce has had a tough time at the Premier League club since his arrival and he has never quite managed to win over the Newcastle fans. The Newcastle m...

‘Soul destroying’, ‘We had this’ – Some NUFC fans hail Benitez’s impressive start at Everton
Everton picked up a 3-1 win over Burnley in the Premier League last night and the Toffees have made an impressive start to the season under new manager Rafael Benitez. Initially, the Everton faithful were not keen on the Spaniard because of his history with bitter rivals Liverpool. However, the former Newcastle United manager has already silenced his critics. Everton are currently fourth in the Premier League table with ten points from four matches. No other team has picked up more points in the league so far. A club of Everton’s stature should be aiming for European football and it remains to be seen whether Benitez can guide them to Europa League qualification.

‘Complete lack of common sense’ – Some NUFC fans react to injury blow ahead of Man Utd clash
Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson picked up a thigh injury against Southampton last weekend and it appears that the striker could be sidelined for a number of weeks as per Shields Gazette. Since joining the club from Bournemouth for a fee of around £20 million last summer, Wilson has been a key player for Newcastle and his absence will be a devastating blow for Steve Bruce and his side. The Magpies are desperately lacking in goals and Wilson has been a star performer for them. He scored 12 goals for them in the Premier League last season. Bruce failed to bring in adequate cover upfront during the summer transfer window and the decision could prove to be costly for Newcastle. Wilson struggled with hamstring problems last season and signing another striker as a backup option should have...
Report: Newcastle tried and failed to sign £18 million French powerhouse on deadline day
Newcastle United tried and failed to sign Valencia ace Mouctar Diakhaby on transfer deadline day according to a report from Super Deporte. The Magpies allegedly showed ‘strong interest’ in signing the French centre-back. Steve Bruce really wanted to bring the 24-tear-old to St James’ Park but didn’t make an offer that Valencia deemed to be acceptable.

Newcastle submit offer to sign 21-yr-old, but face competition from another PL club
Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers have submitted an offer to sign Marseille defensive midfielder Boubacar Kamara. According to a report from Foot Mercato via GFFN, the two Premier League clubs have submitted an offer of around €2.5 million to loan the player. They have also included an option to buy Kamara permanently next summer for around €15m. The 21-year-old had an impressive campaign with Marseille last season, and it is no surprise that English clubs are looking to snap him up. The highly talented midfielder will be a free agent next summer, and it would be wise of the French outfit to cash in on him rather than lose him for free next year. Newcastle need a quality defensive midfielder alongside Isaac Hayden. Kamara would help protect their defence and allow the attacking ...
