Club accounts:
As
you were
Following
selected media interviews given by NUFC CEO Lee Charnley earlier in the week,
Thursday saw the (late) publication of the club's accounts.
In a nutshell, we've recovered well from the financial downturn caused by
another relegation, and there seems to reason to change course - whether that
"vision" is shared with the current manager remains to be seen....
Charnley appears to think we're having a "good season" - although
we're not yet safe from relegation with four games remaining.
Headline figures:
£33m short-term loan paid to Mike Ashley
£111m long-term loan' owed to Mike Ashley
Media income increased £79m to £119.6m
Turnover increased of 108% to £178.5m
Commercial income up £14.6m to £26.7m
Operating expenses fell by £21.2m to £119.6m
Other:
Charnley pay doubles to £300K
No meaningful update on Rafa future
No realistic expectation of club sale
Emphasis on signing younger players
No significant training ground investment
Budget for next window up to £50m plus monies raked in from player sales

Non-League
I:
One
final push for
the Spartans
Attempting
to gatecrash the National League North playoffs on Friday are Blyth Spartans,
who face a pivotal home game with Guiseley (3pm).
The green and whites looked to have missed out on any chance of promotion
following a lean spell in early 2019, but a run of four victories in April
have left them just three points shy off the playoffs.
Another maximum point return at Croft Park on Friday afternoon would put Alun
Armstrong's side level on points with seventh-placed AFC Telford - who are
away to Hereford on Saturday.
Monday sees Blyth at FC United of Manchester, before ending their main league
season by hosting Southport on Saturday week (April 27th).

holders £10 rather than £15. U18 entry is just £5 and U12s get in free.
PS: Gateshead's final home game of the season sees them host Barrow on
Saturday April 27th. Note that the kick-off time for that is 12.30pm.

Old
boy held
A
former Newcastle midfielder whose surname begins with the letter B is in
police custody following an assault claim....but it's not Joey Barton:
From The Daily Mail;, Tuesday:
"Manchester United head of academy Nicky Butt has been arrested on
suspicion of assault.
"A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: 'Police were called at
around 2pm on Tuesday 16 April 2019, to reports that a woman had been
assaulted at a house on Broadway, Hale.
"The woman received a small cut to
her hand and does not require hospital treatment.
"A 44–year-old man has been
arrested on suspicion of assault and remains in custody for questioning."
Injury
update:
Florian:
surgery done
Newcastle
defender Florian Lejeune was in Rome on Wednesday for an
operation to repair the damage done to his knee during the Crystal Palace home
game earlier this month.
The Frenchmen was again operated on by Pier Paolo Mariani, who performed
similar surgery last year on Lejuene's other knee following an injury in
pre-season.
The player was back in first team action by the start of 2019 and there's
optimism that he could recover within a similar timescale this time
round.

Premier League press release:
The Premier League have announced that Newcastle United, Manchester
City, West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers will compete for the Premier
League Asia Trophy in China this summer.
All four teams will play in a
double-header at Nanjing Olympic Sports Centre (above) on
Wednesday, 17th July, (above) with a third/ fourth place play-off and final staged at Shanghai's
Hongkou Stadium (below) on Saturday, 20th July. (below)
The two host venues are about three hours apart, linked by a high speed
train service.
This is the second Premier League Asia Trophy to be held in mainland China,
with Beijing hosting the tournament in 2009. It is the first time the biennial
tournament has taken place in two different locations, giving more fans the
opportunity to enjoy the Premier League experience and witness a world-class
line-up of players and managers.
This is the ninth edition of the Premier
League Asia Trophy (previously Barclays Asia Trophy). Newcastle are taking
part for the second time after featuring in the inaugural competition in 2003 (staged in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia).
The Premier League Asia Trophy will be
officiated by Premier League match officials as well as local match officials
and will be staged in accordance with Premier League rules.
* Our participation is based on us not being relegated, which is still
not mathematically impossible...

Born Or Died:
1984 Death of Stan Barber, 75.
(1925-28)
1987 Danny Guthrie born, Shrewsbury.
(2008-12)
Midfielder who began his playing career as a youngster at
Manchester United's Academy, before switching to Liverpool when 16.
His senior debut was as substitute for the Reds in a 4-3 home win over Reading
in the League Cup in October 2006, with a first outing in the Premier League a
month later.
February 2007 saw Danny appear off the bench in a 2-1 loss to United at SJP -
his seventh and final senior game for Liverpool.
Guthrie then moved to Southampton on loan for a 12 game stint which ended when
the Saints were eliminated in the Championship playoff semi-finals by Derby
County.
The following season saw him loaned out to Bolton, with his 35 appearances for
the Trotters including a first career goal, away to Fulham in the League Cup on
his debut.
Guthrie was part of the Bolton side who achieved a 0-0 draw on Tyneside in
January 2008, slightly spoiling Kevin Keegan's return as Newcastle manager.
Returning to Anfield, Guthrie agreed to join Newcastle in July 2008 at a
claimed cost of £2.5m, signing a four year deal.
A first outing came in pre-season against Hartlepool, when Danny arrived as a
half time substitute and created a goal for Damien Duff before netting himself,
just eight minutes after taking to the field.
Marking a scoring home debut against PSV Eindhoven, Guthrie then debuted
alongside fellow new boys Fabricio Coloccini and Jonas Gutierrez in a 1-1 draw
at Old Trafford.
However, his first setback as a Magpie came in the infamous Hull City home game
that was accompanied by fan protest both inside and outside SJP following KK's
departure.
Guthrie was deservedly dismissed in the final minute after a terrible lunge on
Craig Fagan that left the Tigers player with a broken leg.
Returning to a side by then "managed" by Joe Kinnear, Guthrie
featured in a 2-2 draw at Everton and scored in successive away games at Pompey
and Wigan.
An injury at Blackburn in January 2009 put him out for three months, with a
first team comeback in the home game against Chelsea coinciding with the
installation of Alan Shearer as Newcastle manager.
The 2009/10 Championship season was a good one for Danny and his displays were
instrumental in returning United to the Premier League at the first time of
asking - especially when occupying his favoured central role, rather than on
the right wing.
Back in the top-flight though, a knee injury meant that Guthrie's first
competitive game of the season didn't come until October.
A crucial error in the West Bromwich Albion defeat in December
2010 cost a goal and triggered Chris Hughton's exit, with Alan Pardew taking
seven games to pick Danny for the 1-1 draw at the mackems.
Amid talk of a loan move to Nottingham Forest, hamstring
problems again sidelined Guthrie, before a recall came when deputising for the
suspended Cheick Tiote.
That pattern continued in 2011/12 but with Tiote injured and on African Nations
Cup duties, Guthrie played 19 times, scoring a belter at Fulham and also
notching at Blackburn Rovers in a League Cup tie.
Making his final United appearance in the 2-0 home win over Liverpool in April
2012, Guthrie became a free agent soon after, hitting the headlines with a
wedding at Allerton Castle in Yorkshire attended by family, friends and the
local constabulary.
Joining Reading on a three-year deal ahead of the 2012/13 season, the final
months of his time at the Madejski Stadium were spent on loan at Fulham.
However no permanent contract offer was forthcoming from the Cottagers and
Danny joined Blackburn Rovers on a free ahead of the 2015/16 campaign.
Following two seasons at Ewood Park, he found himself without a club once again
and tried to maintain some fitness by playing for amateur side Oakengates
Athletic near to his native Shrewsbury.
January 2018 then brought news of a move to Indonesian side Mitra Kukar.

An estimated 6,000 fans were locked out and

tackle from Norman Whiteside, Peter Jackson soon
exacting revenge and prompting a scuffle for which
Keith Hackett booked him.
With Liam O'Brien in the visiting line-up, the Red
Devils levelled thanks to a long range thumper from
Gordon Strachan, only for Paul Goddard to fire past
Gary Walsh at the Gallowgate End - levelling a club
record by netting in his seventh successive game.

Hearts in a £750k deal.

make his debut, as our remaining matches affected
issues at both ends of the table.

Beckham(38)

David Beckham equalised an early Andreas
Andersson opener, but the visitors should have
claimed a second Old Trafford win within weeks, to
accompany their FA Cup semi-final success against
Sheffield United.
Solskjaer was dismissed for hacking down Robert Lee,
who was clean through on goal. However, the draw was
certainly a moral victory and effectively robbed Fergie & Co. of the title, as Arsenal romped to
victory over Wimbledon to take a decisive advantage.

preparation for a game United just needed to draw.
