The Sports Lowdown For All Your News and OpinionsNewcastle United are one of the biggest clubs in English football. The club can attract over 50,00 fans to home games and in the last few years has posted impressive financial results. The club has a rich history, having won the league four times and the FA Cup six times. On paper Newcastle United should be one of the biggest draws in English football.
Despite this, even the most optimistic of supporters could not deny that Newcastle is a club on its knees. The days of challenging for the Premier League are long gone. Champions League nights are a thing of the past. There are question marks over whether the club will avoid relegation this season and if they were to plummet into the Championship it will be a hard, long road back to the big time.
The Sports Lowdown looks at why Newcastle are in such a mess and discusses if a turn around can be achieved or if they are doomed for relegation.
