Darren Eales officially started his new role as Newcastle United's new Chief Executive Officer on Monday as the club continue to strengthen their boardroom with shrewd appointments.
Eales arrived in the north east on Friday and was in attendance at St. James' Park for the enthralling 3-3 draw with Manchester City on Sunday afternoon. The 50-year-old was introduced to journalists before the tie as he was given a tour of the facilities inside the stadium.
But what can Newcastle expect from Eales' appointment? Doug Roberson, a veteran reporter who has covered Atlanta United extensively and seen the first-hand impact the new Newcastle staff member can have on a football club, explains just what the Magpies will receive with Eales at the helm.
