Nufc reach agreement to buy 260-acre plot close to Newcastle Airport at Woolsington Hall for new training complex from Sir John Hall.
Subject to planning permission, development will cost £190 million and the hope is for it to be finished by 2029/30 season.

Newcastle change their home shirts (during a drinks break) after a quite obvious kit clash with Bayer Leverkusen.
St James’ Park now awash with horrible kits/colours.

"They were great characters, great players, experienced players. This is now a vacuum"

Newcastle’s new head coach Matthias Jaissle has conceded that he has inherited a leadership vacuum at the club after the summer sales of Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali

@ToonTacticsTV Have you read the piece?

@Abetee @TimesSport Hi, have you read the piece?

[Martin Hardy @mhardysport]

'Tight shirts and tactics boards — but what else can Matthias Jaissle offer?'

The new Newcastle head coach already has his own song with supporters but will he get a tune out of this squad..

Piece here after a week on the road with the new Nufc:

Mestalla Stadium, pitchside, in all its glory.

[Martin Hardy @mhardysport]

What an amazing football ground the Mestalla is. Truly unique and drips with character and history. If you have not been, put it on your list of things to do (and quickly).

Newcastle beat 10-man Valencia 2-1 to win the Orange Trophy (annual friendly hosted by Valencia). Yoane Wissa gets both goals. Elanga stretchered off. Tackle sparked a brawl . He has contusion to the shin but it is not thought to be serious. Good cameo/debut from Bazoumana Toure.

[Martin Hardy @mhardysport]

Newcastle’s Anthony Elanga is stretchered off after a horror tackle from Valencia’s captain, Gayá, who was sent off.
Challenge was right in front of the Nufc dugout and the entire bench came onto the pitch in fury which caused a melee involving staff and players from both sides.
