Newcastle must avoid the same mistake that Manchester United only recently rectified or their entire project will be rendered “pointless”, according to Danny Mills.
Excitement at St. James’ Park is at an all-time high following their Saudi-led takeover last week. Chelsea and Manchester City serve as prime examples of how a huge cash injection can bring quick success in England. However, both those clubs were already established higher up the table than Newcastle can realistically claim to be at present.
Who Newcastle will sign in the transfer market has understandably grabbed the attention. However, before the January window rolls around, new appointments are expected to be made at both manager and sporting director.
And speaking to Football Insider, former England right-back Danny Mills believes their sporting director appointment is the most important decision of all the ones Newcastle’s owners now have to make.
