'A NEW CHAPTER!'
A MESSAGE FROM THE BOARDROOM
Dear 'Fink'
As the transfer window closes, we are delighted by what we think has been a very strong summer of business for our club.
We've secured ourselves four exceptional senior players in Georginio Wijnaldum, Aleksander Mitrovic, Chancel Mbemba and Florian Thourvin, as well as landing the exciting emerging talent of Ivan Toney.
I hope you have been impressed by what you have seen from them so far. We are confident that they will continue to improve and will add significantly to the quality and success of the team.
In addition we are delighted to agree a new deal with our captain, Fabricio Coloccini and one of the figurehead's of our club.
(He went on to say)
Our strategy is clear---Quality over quantity---We want the best young players available to us.
We have brought in high calibre players who will make an immediate impact.
Steve and his team
We have set Steve a target of a top eight finish and to win a trophy.
A new chapter
Your support is magnificent and truly valued. On behalf of the board and my colleagues I hope that this can be a new chapter of positivity and progression for Newcastle United on and off the pitch.
Best wishes
'Penfold' your 'beloved' MD
