The challenges ahead: Excitement builds in Newcastle for next Premier League season
NEWCASTLE: Excitement for the new Premier League season is increasing on Tyneside. As is the to-do list for Newcastle United’s owners. Less than two weeks away from the return of the first-team squad to the club’s current ‘under-development’ training facility in Benton, North Tyneside, next season’s top flight fixtures have been released. Newly-promoted Nottingham Forest, back in the top division for the first time in more than two decades, are first up at St. James’ Park, while a tough first month also sees Manchester City visit Newcastle, as well as a trip to Anfield to face Liverpool. Head coach Eddie Howe is keen to hit the ground running in the coming season, in stark contrast to the debacle overseen by Steve Bruce at the start of the last one. Pre-takeover, and in the first few weeks after the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia swept through the doors, Newcastle failed to win any of their opening 14 games of the 2021/22 season — the worst start of any team in Premier League history to have subsequently avoided relegation. And Howe is keen to avoid any such issues this time out as he looks to build a squad capable of flirting with, if perhaps not yet reaching, the Premier League’s European places. But what is required this summer to even get close to that? Here, we take a look at what Howe, co-owner Amanda Staveley and newly-appointed sporting director Dan Ashworth need to prioritize before the new season kicks off.

Signed in August 2008 - just 10 days before the champions’ game-changing takeover - Kompany witnessed the transformation of City from top-flight strugglers to European heavyweights during his decade-long stint at Eastlands.

When are Newcastle United's 2022/23 Premier League fixtures released?
It is safe to say that Newcastle United fans will be anticipating the 22/23 Premier League season far more than they did the 21/22 season. In fact, there's more optimism around a new season than there has been for many, many years, thanks to the club's takeover by Amanda Staveley and the Saudi Arabian PIF Fund and the way Eddie Howe's team finished the season so strongly.
