Newcastle United have sensationally pulled the plug on 45 tickets allocated to pupils from the High School of Dundee for their blockbuster Champions League showdown against Barcelona, sparking a storm of controversy. But just days after news of their planned adventure broke, the Magpies confirmed the seats were being stripped away, bowing to mounting fury from their own loyal supporters.
Former Newcastle United chief Amanda Staveley was reduced to tears after hearing a fan message that thanked her for reconnecting the club "with its soul". Staveley was instrumental in bringing in Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund as the principal owner of the Magpies in 2021. She later bought a 10 per cent stake in the club, along with her husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi.
Newcastle United's record summer signing Nick Woltemade has been labelled a "true gentleman" after a visit to the popular city restaurant Khai Khai. The German forward, who was linked with Bayern Munich for a large part of the summer transfer window, eventually swapped Stuttgart for the Magpies last month in a deal worth up to £69 million ($93m).
Liverpool new boy Alexander Isak has claimed that "not everyone has the whole picture" on his controversial Newcastle exit. Isak forced through a British-record transfer to Anfield on deadline day after accusing Newcastle of "broken promises" and essentially going on strike.

Sweden manager Jon Dahl Tomasson has admitted that leaving Alexander Isak out of Friday’s 2-2 draw against Slovenia was purely down to caution.

Parma CEO Federico Cherubini revealed that they had received a higher offer for Giovanni Leoni from Newcastle United before they sold the defender to Liverpool for €35 million (£30m/$40m) in the summer transfer window. The Reds were in search of a new defender earlier in the summer and after going through multiple profiles, they zeroed in on Leoni.
Liverpool legend, Emile Heskey slammed Alexander Isak & Yoane Wissa's behaviour during the transfer window before hailing Marc Guehi as a "true professional". Sweden striker Isak finally sealed his move to Liverpool, ending a month-long standoff with Newcastle United. The forward had refused to join his Magpies teammates on their pre-season tour, effectively going on strike and publicly accusing the club of mistreatment.

Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah has revealed the advice he gave to wonderkid Rio Ngumoha after the teenager scored a dramatic winner against Newcastle.
