Alan Shearer is excited about what it is to come at Newcastle United because the city needs a 'thriving football club' after years of 'no hope' under Mike Ashley.
The club's new owners are close to achieving their first goal of this new era - to stay up - after Newcastle moved 10 points clear of the relegation zone following a 1-0 win against Wolves last week. It was another sell-out at St James' Park and the joyous scenes at full-time served as a real contrast to the helpless feeling in the air following the reverse fixture at Molineux last October, which proved to the be the final game of the Ashley era.
Wor Flags, who returned to St James' after Ashley sold the club last October, created another special display both before and after the game as thousands of flags were waved by supporters in all four corners of the stadium. Mehrdad Ghodoussi, who met representatives from the Newcastle United Supporters' Trust (NUST) with Amanda Staveley earlier that day, even got involved in the directors' box.
