Loads of Newcastle United fans have been reacting to an article for The Times by Henry Winter as he warned about the prospective takeover in the North East.
As per the report, the journalist writes that the Tyneside club’s proposed new owners must hire St. James’ Park legend Alan Shearer and ‘tap into the tyros of the Tyne.’

Indeed, Winter is talking about the youngsters currently at the Magpies, including brothers Sean and Matty Longstaff, and claimed that too much talent has been allowed to leave the city. He added that if the deal between the Saudi-led consortium and Mike Ashley does go through, then it must be the former’s priority to keep hold of their young talent.
22-year old Sean Longstaff has made 26 appearances in all competitions this season so far, scoring one goal and making two assists, whereas 20-year old Matty has played in 13 games, netting three times, according to Transfermarkt.
