As one of the lads pointedly said the other day I had disturbed the hornets nest with one of my my latest articles: ‘I don’t think the Newcastle United owners will put up with much more of this’ (read HERE).

We need to be ruthless if we really want to challenge the likes of Klopp’s Liverpool and Arteta’s Arsenal.
