Season summary

Newcastle United against Zulte Waregem, 22 February 2007.

The summer transfer window saw Roeder sign Obafemi Martins from Inter Milan and Damien Duff from Chelsea, though he failed to follow up the club's interest in signing Sol Campbell, claiming he wanted younger players,[1] and unsuccessful attempts were made to lure strikers Dirk Kuyt and Eiður Guðjohnsen to the club. As the transfer window closed Antoine Sibierski was signed from Manchester City, and young Manchester United striker Giuseppe Rossi was signed on a four-month loan. Roeder controversially made a last-minute withdrawal from the sale of winger James Milner to Aston Villa, to the fury of Villa manager Martin O'Neill.[2]

A poor opening run of only two wins in the opening thirteen league outings saw Newcastle in deep problems at the wrong end of the table, with the team suffering from the worst injury crisis in the club's history, forcing Roeder to recruit players from the youth academy, notably

David Edgar and Matty Pattison. Fan protestations against the club's board came following a mid-November defeat against Sheffield United
with the club staring relegation in the face.

The return of senior players saw the club fight back up the league, but a 5–1

UEFA Cup campaign following success in the Intertoto Cup[3] had looked like the club's form of salvation, but the team crashed out to an agonising defeat on away goals at AZ Alkmaar. Following that the team ran out of steam, and manager Glenn Roeder resigned the week before the end of the season[4] with the team left in mid-table obscurity. Things, however, did seem to look up with new manager Sam Allardyce
and wealthy new owners confirmed in the off season.

New ownership and Sam Allardyce

Sam Allardyce

Billionaire businessman

Freddie Shepherd remained defiant that he was not going to sell the club, and, despite a takeover being inevitable, appointed Sam Allardyce as manager following his departure from Bolton Wanderers in April.[6] However, following Mike Ashley claiming a further majority stake hold, Shepherd was forced to sell his stake to Ashley and end his ten-year tenure as chairman.[7]
Ashley brought in lawyer Chris Mort as chairman, Tony Jimenez as vice-chairman and Derek Llambias as managing director.
