Newcastle ‘look to raid Man Utd’ as Sir Jim Ratcliffe project at risk of painful blow
Manchester United chief operating officer Collette Roche features on Newcastle United’s shortlist as the Carabao Cup winners hunt for a new chief executive, according to reports. Newcastle are attempting to replace Darren Eales, who announced he would be stepping down last September after being diagnosed with blood cancer.
Eales has insisted he doesn’t want to leave the Magpies “in the lurch” and is serving a long notice period until the club identifies a successor. The thorough process to replace the former Atalanta United and Tottenham Hotspur chief is underway, and Roche is reportedly among the options under consideration. According to the Telegraph, Newcastle are considering replicating United’s heist of a member of the football hierarchy with an audacious swoop.
