Newcastle owners must take Jamie Carragher advice on transfers and short-term ambitions

Newcastle United's new owners have hardly put a foot wrong since rocking up on Tyneside little over six months ago. Open communication with the fanbase, supporting the community and investing in the playing squad to fend off a relegation scrap. More of the same will see the Magpies prosper going forward.

Jamie Carragher sat down for a pre-match pint with Newcastle supporters outside 'Shearer's Bar' on Friday evening to gauge how the club has changed since Mike Ashley 's exit. A section of fans in the region have made no secret they are expecting overnight success and a swift pursuit of titles and world-leading talent.

But the Sky Sports pundit doesn't subscribe to that view, instead telling the new owners to try and emulate the success of Friday's opponents Wolves in the short-term - simultaneously avoiding big-money, household names who may see Newcastle as a cash cow they can milk for a payday.
