Yeah I'll see if I can sort that out... and I hope so! Cheers.

Loïc Rémy's rape charge has been dropped after the then-QPR striker was questioned in early May this year alongside two other men in Fulham. Many Newcastle fans were unsure if this problem would return to bite them in the back, but it seems now, all is well.

-Rémy said soon after the charges were dropped.

Rémy scored six goals in fourteen appearances for QPR in the latter half of last season for QPR, but may have played more had he not been sidelined for a chunk of the year with a groin injury. It is unknown whether or not the French forward is fit enough to make his debut in a friendly during Newcastle's pre-season.

That Kinnear quote was awesome
This looks like an interesting story.
I will definitely be following.
Good luck.

Thanks! Due to popular demand, I'll probably have lots of Kinnear quotes.

I like the start of this... especially the Remy update.. must of been his French wooing

Earlier today, Joe Kinnear ascended from Director of Football to the manager of Newcastle United, only weeks after joining after a short spell of unemployment. Kinnear has already managed Newcastle before, in the 2008-09 season, when he only won four of his eighteen games as manager, before being replaced by the iconic Chris Hughton.

Fans have not responded too kindly to Kinnear's rise to the top of the club, many claiming that his abilities are not up to scratch. Not only have fans complained, but unbiased pundits and others involved in the game have made their opinion clear.


-Joe Kinnear's first words as Newcastle manager.

It is unknown whether Kinnear will turn out to be a fool like many perceive him, or if he has a trick up his sleeve. The Premier League will tell, but it is quite a while before the transfer window shuts and Newcastle is left out in the cold to survive the storm.

You've found a very stupid manager in Joe Kinnear. Reading his post-match conferences will be fun to read. Good start

*Wilfried Zaha, a recent acquisition of reigning Champions, Manchester United, may be on his way out of the club for a season loans. It has been suggested the England capped forward is not in David Moyes' first team plans, and that a club like Newcastle would be perfect for him.

*18 year old midfielder Will Hughes of Derby County has been linked with Newcastle after an impressive season in the Championship. The youngster, who is currently on the England U21 roster, will probably not be a Derby player for much longer, though, Newcastle are not the only interested party.

*Another Championship youngster, Tom Ince, has been linked with several Premier League clubs, one of which being Newcastle. The Blackpool winger previously played for Liverpool but was dropped to the Seasiders, though, after proving himself one again, it seems he will be a Premier League player once again.

*Perth Glory midfielder, Daniel De Silva, has allegedly been targeted by Newcastle. The young Australian was previously targeted by Everton, though he failed to acquire a work permit. It seems now, after a solid performance in the 2013 U20 World Cup, he will get his desired move to the Premier League.

*Newcastle may make a move for highly rated 15 year old Seung Woo Lee, who is one of FC Barcelona's most promising youth products. It seems unlikely that he will depart the Spanish giants, though the rumor remains nonetheless.

Maybe Kinnear isn't so bad after all

Kinnear for PM

Peter Beardsley has been spotted in Blackpool this evening after reports arose that Blackpool had accepted an offer for Tom Ince. Beardsley was allegedly given a budget for Ince's wage, and now, his job is to argue for it.

-Kinnear commented when asked about Ince as a possible signing.

It looks very likely that the young Englishman could be Kinnear's first signing as Newcastle manager, though, it would be his second on Tyneside this season, after signing Loic Remy on loan. It seems Kinnear may have a trick or two up his sleeve.

Meanwhile, Beardsley has followed the footsteps in John Carver, Alan Pardew's left hand man, who departed the club on mutual consent. Beardsley worked as Newcastle reserve manager for over ten years, having earned the position after earning legend status as a player at the club. Since then, he has become an asset to the Toon backroom staff.

Ince In 'N' Out, Zaha In, Ex-Players Join As Coaches

Tom Ince is now a Newcastle player, but he will not make the journey East until the end of this year, Zaha has joined Newcastle on Loan and two ex-players have joined as coaches.

Today has been a fluster for Newcastle fans, loan deals tossed around, players and coaches being signed among other things. Many have regarded manager Joe Kinnear in a new light after his A-grade signings, though they state that he needs to prove himself on the pitch.

The first of the three major developments was Tom Ince's signature. He has now joined Newcastle and it is believed that his contract lasts until 2018, though this is unconfirmed. Upon joining Newcastle, Ince was instantly loaned back to Blackpool and will remain there for the next six months.

-Joe Kinnear on Ince

Shortly after the confirmation of the Ince deal, another deal was brought to light, the season loan of out-of-favor, newly-signed, Manchester United player, Wilfried Zaha, who attracted Loan interest from Celtic and Villa. In the end, the forward chose the Tyne as his loan location.

-Joe Kinnear on Zaha

The third and perhaps least important news story of the day was the signing of two new coaches, Olivier Bernard and Andrew (or "Andy") Cole, who both previously played for Newcastle before their retirements, and are both popular names to the Magpies faithful. Both will be working with the youth squad.
