Newcastle United have made a significant move as the club looks to construct a bigger stadium, purchasing a sizeable portion of the Grade 1 listed Leazes Terrace next to St James' Park, including all areas facing the ground. A final decision is yet to be made on whether Newcastle build a new stadium or expand their current home, but the club acknowledges this deal provides "greater flexibility". Newcastle have made it clear they are committed to the preservation of a building with "historic and architectural significance", which cannot be demolished.
Chelsea are facing cultural issues that continue to undermine their progress. In some cases, there are also divisions within the squad, the players and the wider organisation. One contributing factor, as influential co-owner Behdad Eghbali has acknowledged, is "getting that stability on the manager side of things", which is something the club "hasn't done right as yet".
