Newcastle United je dobio novog sportskog direktora. Njegovo ime je Dan Ashworth iz Brightona koji je imao istu ulogu u klubu sa juga Engleske. Međutim, Svrake i Galebovi nisu uspeli da se dogovore o visini kompenzacije za njegove usluge još od februara sve do danas. Navodno je Newcastle United platio svih pet miliona funti za njegov transfer.

Newcastle United are delighted to announce that Dan Ashworth will become the club's sporting director after an agreement was reached with Brighton & Hove Albion to release him from his current contractual obligations with immediate effect.

The terms of this agreement will remain confidential between the clubs and are subject to Premier League approval.

Newcastle United will issue further information following the relevant approval process.
