Ekipa iz Championship-a Queens Park Rangers je u svoje redove dovela sada već bivšeg defanzivca Newcastle United-a Danny Simpson-a.

Danny Simpson koji ima 26 godina, proveo je četiri sezone među Svrakama. Ugovor sa Newcastle United-om mu ističe sledeće nedelje a isti nije produžen, tako da je Simpson kao slobodan igrač prešao u redove QPR-a. Sa QPR-om Simpson je potpisao ugovor na tri godine.

Želimo mu puno sreće u budućnosti.

Newcastle United se danas zahvalio na uslugama Romain Amalfitano-u i Mehdi Abeid-u. Rečeno im je da mogu da potraže novi klub.

Međutim, problem je što je Amalfitano, koji je u klub doveden prošlog leta, sa Svrakama potpisao ugovor na četiri godine, dok je Abeid 2011. godine potpisao ugovor na pet godina.

Kruže priče da bi Newcastle United mogao da se zahvali i Dan Gosling-u. Međutim, on ima daleko unosniji ugovor sa Newcastle United-om nego spomenuti dvojac Amalfitano/Abeid, tako da bi Gosling ove sezone vrlo lako mogao igrati na pozajmici u nekom drugom klubu.

St. James' Park is to reclaim its place amongst the elite of the Tyneside food and drink scene this summer after work got underway on a stunning transformation of Shearer's bar.

Named after club legend and record goal scorer Alan Shearer, the venue was originally launched in December 2004 beneath the famous Gallowgate end of the ground and was at the cutting edge of the leisure industry when its doors first opened.

Eight-and-a-half years on, Shearer's bar is now in need of a comprehensive refit which will bring the venue completely up-to-date and bring fans and visitors through its doors once again.

Work is set to be complete on the new bar in July and it will be complemented with a new name to reflect its new-look: Nine - named after the iconic shirt worn by the Toon hero and former England striker.

Colin Perkins, account director at Sodexo Prestige - the company which operates catering at St. James' Park, said: "Nine will be a fantastic new venue with a superb high-quality, value for money menu and a comprehensive range of drinks and offers.

"We believe that this will not only satisfy fans visiting the stadium on matchdays, but also visitors to this increasingly-vibrant part of the city throughout the week."

John Irving, a Newcastle United director, said: "Shearer's bar was immensely popular when it was first launched in 2004 but its popularity has dwindled over the years as this part of Newcastle has developed and new bars have opened around it.

"In transforming the site and opening the bar up to a wider range of visitors, it was important that a new name remained in-keeping with the club's history and heritage and Nine is certainly faithful to that.

"We have liaised directly with Alan to keep him abreast of the plans, which he has been appreciative of, and we're looking forward to launching Nine next month."

As part of a special launch event, the Club is planning to raise funds for Alan Shearer Foundation, with a special charity auction of exclusive items to benefit the charity's work in supporting children, adults and families with disability across the North East.

The Club can announce that Managing Director, Derek Llambias, has resigned from his position with immediate effect.

Derek said "I have had an incredible journey during my five years at the club, including some challenging times. I will reflect with great fondness on my time in the North East and, in me, Newcastle United have a lifelong supporter.

"I want to thank the staff for their hard work, our fans for their support of the club, and wish them all well for the future."
