Following as busy summer at St James' Park with the removal of Alan Pardew to be re-placed by an unknown Kris Scott the Toon Army at, not for the first time, up in arms at Chairman Mike Ashley and the fellow board members



The new manager came in and made it clear from day one that no more players will be coming in during July and August and many predicted that again the club may suffer without investment.

A new strike duo of Ba and Cisse are untried at Premier League level with Ba having just a 4 month stay with recently relegated West Ham. Before Pardew was ousted he had splashed £5m+ on Davide Santon, £4.3m on Yohan Cabaye and was tricked by Sir Alex Ferguson into coughing up for Gabriel Obertan.



Pre- Season



You cant read much into pre season but plenty of goals and unbeaten mean we can be confident going into the new season.

Opening Day of Season

It already feels like win or bust. Game One at home to Sunderland.

The fans are well up for the local derby



A fantastic performance from the whole team result in a 3-0 win with goals from Cisse, Taylor and Colocini.



Off and running with three points



End of October and we have done well in general. Poor defeat to Stoke in the League Cup but a good return of 19 points from 30 in the league push us upto 4th in the League.

End of January



From our good start i have been waiting for the bubble to burst but so far so good. An amazing run of results has seen just one draw and one defeat in our last 15 games. Demba ba has settled really well and scoring goals for fun while our backbone of Krul, Santon, Simpson, Taylor and Colocini are keeping us tight at the back.

January has seen two new players join the club. Both midfielders one has joined on loan while the other has signed a 3 1/2 year deal.

Antonio VALENCIA

The Manchester United winger has joined on loan until the summer. We will be paying half of his £60k pw wages.

Andy KING

The Leicester City midfielder has come in for a fee of £2m. He fits well as his two best positions are DMC or AMC and we play the diamond 4-4-2 formation so he fits perfectly.

One Game to Go



Some good reults in the last few months peppered with more defeats than i would have liked. Sadly an injury to Demba Ba has hit us hard but a return of 21 goals in 30 games has been fantastic.



Well the final game of the season sees THREE teams battling for two Champions League places.

Final Day Fixtures:

Newcastle United vs Manchester United (2nd)
QPR (18th) vs Liverpool
Tottenham vs Wolves (14th)

We certainly have the hardest of the final game but hopefully a low scoring defeat at worst and Spurs not winning by many would get us a Champions League place on GD. Best case would be beat United, who have already conceded the title to Manchester City, and finish in 3rd.


A little quiz question:

Guess the club??

[SRL88]

Well we got a tight defeat, all we needed was help from QPR and Wolves. We got a hand from QPR but Spurs did exactly as i feared and won big. Even a 4-0 win for Spurs would have given us third.



Ther we go, a great first season, Champion League place for next year!!

If Chelsea win in the final, 4th placed Newcastle United will miss out as Chelsea failed to get a top 4 finish.

Sadly we could only finish with the silver medal but it could have been much different. The group stage was easy enough but after just 17 minutes against Japan in the Qtr Final we found ourselves 2-0 down. As for the final we fought back from 2-0 down to level and quickly concede again. Scott Sinclair had a chance from the penalty spot to draw us level at 3-3 but like the best of English players he skied it high and wide.

Yes and no to be honest. Birmingham 17 shots to our 12 and only two of ours on target. But we did hit the woodwork 3 times. Throughout the game it was one of those days where we could have played all night and not scored. Birmingham had 5 clear cut chances so overall happy with the point.

A change in the backroom staff this month as my assistant John Carver has moved to Norwich as manager. My new assistant until July is a 65 year old Italian who has spent time at both AC Milan (22 years) and Chelsea (2 years), Bruno Demichelis

After a good season we are tried to keep the squad intact hence rejecting a £21m bid for Yohan Cabeye from AC Milan.

The summer has been difficult for the most part thanks to Mike Ashley deciding to sell the club.



With the new man in place the only tihng that had changed is the boards confidence in me, and not for the best!!


Newcastle Signings:

Daniel Agger - the Liverpool defender comes in for a decent price of £2.4m. Out of favour was on long at German side Wolfsburg last season

Adam Johnson - Another decent signing that doesn't break the bank, £3.6m, Adam joins to help down both wings and performed well on loan at Chelsea.

Andy Carroll - With my two main forwards i have two younger guys under them so i wanted one more to help out. Not my first, second or even ninth choice Andy has re-joined the club on a season long loan.

Players Out:

Dan Gosling has joined Southampton for £1.5m

Shola Ameobi has left for Swansea for £725k

Gabby Obertan and Mike Williamson have joined Birmingham for a combined fee of £4.9m

Sylvain Marveaux has joined Wolves on loan for £625k

James Tavernier has joined Milwall on loan for £55k

Rob Elliott has joined Brighton for a fee of £85k on loan

Andy King joins Gosling at Southampton on loan for £625k

Two reserve players have joined Gateshead and Walsall on loan

[kris0710]

Champions League:





Another good run of Champions League football is making up somewhat for our poor league performance. The next round brings OM back to St James' Park after knocking them out in the qualifiers last season.


FA Cup:



Simple win over a non league side puts us easily through. Reading are up next as our quest for silverware continues.


January Transfers:

Sadly two of our better players have not performed this season so far, Coloccini and Santon so i have splashed some of our Champions League cash on two young English players.

Phil Jones: Signed from Manchester United for £13.25m i expect him to become a main stay in our first eleven

Jack Robinson: Highly rated left back has joined from Liverpool for £8m. Hoping he can pressure Santon into some better performances.

Anderson: Another player in from United for a fee of £5m. Expect him to challenge Sigurosson for a first team place and hopefully can get some crucial goals for us.


No players have left the club so we are a little heavy on players and if a European place cannot be clinched for next year there will be an end of season clearout.

Pre Season

Following last seasons poor finish compared to the previous two years it has been a busy summer. Players i have signed that have not performed have been moved on while a couple of big names are in the door.

Newcastle Players Out:

Yohan Cabaye - From around March time he made his feelings known that he wanted to move to a bigger club. They don't come much bigger than Inter Milan so an offer of £19.25m was deemed good enough and i wish him well

Craig Dawson - After just 11 apps in two years was decided to cut our losses and sold to Everton for £2.1m, a loss of £1.3m for us

Adam Johnson - A year after joining he leaves for Leciester for £4.3m, a profit of £700k after just one goal in 12 games

Daniel Agger - Big things expected a year ago following a £2.4m move but injuries restricted him to just six starts so a bid of £2.3m from Wolves was seemed suitable.

Anderson - Only joined in January but as i look to to trim the squad it was a choice from him or Ben Arfa. Once Arsenal bid £10m, double our outlay, the decision was made to sell him

Andy King - My first signing for £2m has never really held down a first team slot and Southampton made his loan move permanent for £1.9m

That is the main deals, 4 players were released from reserves and another 5 have left on loan.


Transfers In

Ashley Young - Listed by Man Utd the 29 year old comes in for £2.5m. Never a regular at Old Trafford but 8 goals in 28 Prem games in not a bad return

Sami Khedira - Signed from Real Madrid as a direct replacement to Cabaye, costing just £5.5m

Samuel Eto'o - Despite being 33 i could not resisit paying just under £9m for the striker. With 48 goals in 58 games for Anji he is still a worldie player and will help out free scoring Ba and Cisse while i hope he can tutor a younger guy coming through.

Have also spent £750k on four youngster.

Eto'o has had a good start with 7 goals in 10 starts while Ashley Young has performed admirally.

Khedira has been different class, almost ever present and holding the team together from the base of the diamond.

Santon and Coloccini both had woeful seasons by there standards last year but have turned that around so far, Coloccini having the second highest ave rating of any of my players.

Newcastle United Football Club

2015/16

Premier League

August


Results:



Table:



Woeful opening game of season followed by a good win over City. Would have taken three points from six but not happy with amount of goals conceded.


Super Cup:



City qiuckly gained revenge for the league defeat. Would have been nice to pick up another trophy.


This season we have been drawn in Group G with Rangers, Aris and Steaua


Summer Transfers:

Leaving the club this summer has been midfielder Cheick Tiote who has joined Lille for £3.4m. Just 5 PL apps last season is well behind Khedira for the DM slot.

Also leaving is Haris Vuckic to Brimingham (£5m) and Lorenzo Crisetig to Espanyol (£3.8m)

Tamas Kadar has joined Norwich at the end of his contract while Will Keane has been released also.


Joining the club are two replacements for Tiote and Vuckic.

For £8.75m Emre Can has joined from Bayern while 21 year old Mexican Carlos Fierro has joined from Chivas for £7.25m.

Fierro has scored 77 goals in 128 games for his former club and am hopeful he can make the kind of impact that another Chivas export has made, Javier Hernandez.
