AcademyDickie Dosh departs
Newcastle Academy manager Richard Money has left the club in order to take up the vacant position of Luton Town manager with immediate effect. The former Hatter had been linked with various lower league jobs since arriving at United in the summer of 2008 and his departure leaves Chris Hughton with a further recruitment headache as he tries to increase his staff.
AcademyYoung Owls in Toon
After a fixture-free weekend, Newcastle's U18 return to league action on Saturday as they attempt to extend their unbeaten run to six games. Standing in their way are a Sheffield Wednesday side who visit Little Benton for a Noon kickoff. Both games against the Owls last season finished 3-1 to the Magpies.
Our charity wager for this game is an 8/1 shot, on Kevin Nolan scoring the first goal of the game Steve Harper is 5/2 to keep a clean sheet (and 7/2 todo so in an NUFC victory),while 9/1 gets you 0-0. Kanal 9 (DK) Ring.bg Sport 2 (Cze/Svk) Sport 2 (Hun) YES Sport 2

Update:Magpie to Magpies?
From the BBC, Friday - a deal that could now happen, but presumably only if the player altered demands for an extended term contract that caused negotiations with Newcastle to break down before he went to Notts:
Sol Campbell has revealed he in interested in joining Newcastle.
The 35-year-old former England defender left League Two side Notts County last month after only one appearance and is now trying to find another club.
"Newcastle are a big club and could be heading back to the Premier League," he told ESPN Soccernet. "It appeals."
Campbell, who left Portsmouth in May, cannot join another team until County release his registration, which is the subject of ongoing negotiation.
The Meadow Lane club are refusing to release Campbell's registration so he can sign for another club until he agrees on a "statement of departure".
Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor says County are keen to stop Campbell discussing matters relating to the club's ownership.
Campbell, who left County less than a month into a five-year deal, has been training with former employers Arsenal and is considering taking his case to a Football League tribunal.
He added: "I have been approached by several clubs, and yes, it is correct to say that Newcastle are one of them.
"People might be surprised to hear me say that I would be very interested in a move there, but I have my reasons.
"I have spoken with Gordon Taylor and he will impress upon the League the urgency of the case and try to make a tribunal hearing a priority. If we can sort it all out at the tribunal I would hope to be playing within weeks from now.
"I am training every day with Arsenal, feel fit - as fit as ever - and now I really need some matches. But, to sort out the mess at Notts County, a Football League tribunal seems to be the only way out."
Posh / Jack influx And their Swansea City counterparts have now also sold out their similarly-sized section for the SJP fixture at the end of the month.

The Bees are due at the International Stadium on Saturday November 7th3pm kick-off - unfortunately this now clashes with Newcastle's game against Peterborough, after Brentford insisted on switching the game back to Saturday, rather than the originally proposed Sunday 1pm ko.
Newcastle youngster Alex Nicholson was again on the losing side as Wales U16s were beaten 1-0 by Scotland on Thursday evening at the Belle Vue Ground in Rhyl. There was a rare start for the Spanish striker on Thursday in a Copa Del Rey tie against Salamanca. However Xisco still awaits his first goal for Racing Santander, being subbed on 62 minutes in a 0-1 defeat. Real Mallorca (a) on Sunday.
