Why Is Newcastle United Struggling So Badly To Take The Next Step?
GLASGOW, SCOTLAND - JULY 19: Newcastle United Head Coach Eddie Howe following the pre-season ... More friendly match between Celtic and Newcastle United at Celtic Park on July 19, 2025 in Glasgow, Scotland. (Photo by Serena Taylor/Newcastle United via Getty Images) This summer was always likely to be a pivotal one for Newcastle United. The Magpies qualified for the Champions League for the second time in three seasons last term, leading many to believe they would strengthen in the transfer window to take the next step. Instead, Newcastle is struggling to even keep hold of its best players. Alexander Isak has made clear his desire to depart St James' Park this summer with Liverpool reportedly interested in signing the Swedish striker. Newcastle had lined up Hugo Ekitike as a potential replacement for Isak, but lost out on the French forward to the Premier League champions. NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, ENGLAND - MARCH 02: Alexander Isak of Newcastle United celebrates scoring his ... More team's first goal from the penalty spot during the Emirates FA Cup Fifth Round match between Newcastle United and Brighton & Hove Albion at St James' Park on March 02, 2025 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. (Photo by) On top of this, Newcastle has struck out on many of its top targets this summer. Bryan Mbeumo was linked with a move to the North East only for the Cameroonian to favour joining Manchester United from Brentford instead. Mbeumo would have been an excellent addition on the right side of Eddie Howe's forward line. Joao Pedro was another target for Newcastle. However, Chelsea beat the Magpies to the punch, signing Pedro for a reported $82m when Newcastle could have used the Brazilian to add quality to the forward line. Matheus Cunha was another reported target. He too chose another option, joining Manchester United from Wolves. Owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), Newcastle is technically the richest club in the Premier League. However, the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) have made it more difficult for the Magpies to climb the table and become genuine title challengers. This summer has made that clearer than ever. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - JULY 23: (EXCLUSIVE COVERAGE) Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha of Manchester United ... More in action during a first team training session as part of their pre-season tour of the USA at Endeavor Health Performance Center on July 23, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. (Photo by Ash Donelon/Manchester United via Getty Images) Newcastle might have no choice but to take a Premier League-record fee for Isak from Liverpool and re-invest the money in other areas of its squad. That might be the St James' Park outfit's only way to improve while navigating the obstacles presented by PSR and the financial restrictions put in place by the Premier League. The frustration for Newcastle is that so many of its rivals appear to have strengthened this summer. Liverpool has signed Florian Wirtz and could also snatch Isak from the Magpies. Manchester City has spent the best part of $200m on new signings while Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have also been busy. This upcoming season could be a crucial one for Newcastle. Heading into the summer, Howe and the decision-makers at St James' Park were surely plotting how to move forward again. Now, they might be satisfied with merely holding their position in the Premier League table to prevent others from bypassing them.

Donald Trump seen golfing at start of five day private visit to Scotland
A major security operation surrounded US President Donald Trump as he played golf at the start of a five day long private visit to Scotland. The president headed to his Trump Turnberry resort – which he bought in 2014 – after arriving in the country on Friday night. On Saturday morning he was seen on the golf course there, wearing a white cap and driving a golf buggy. Ahead of that, a large number of police and military personnel have been spotted searching the grounds at the venue in South Ayrshire. Various road closures have been put in place, with limited access for both locals and members of the media. Mr Trump is staying at Turnberry for the start of a five-day private visit to Scotland which will see him have talks with both UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Scottish First Minister John Swinney. A meeting has also been scheduled for him to talk about trade with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen on Sunday. With no talks apparently scheduled for Saturday, the president – a well-known golf enthusiast – appears to be free to play the famous Turnberry course. However, protests have been planned, with opponents of Mr Trump expected to gather in both Edinburgh and Aberdeen later on Saturday and the Stop Trump coalition planning what it has described as being a 'festival of resistance'. As well as visiting Trump Turnberry, Mr Trump will head to Aberdeenshire later in his visit and is expected to open a second course at his golf resort in Balmedie. As he landed in Ayrshire on Friday, the president took questions from journalists, telling Europe to 'get your act together' on immigration, which he said was 'killing' the continent. He also praised Sir Keir, who he described as a 'good man', but added that the Prime Minister is 'slightly more liberal than I am'. Saturday will be the first real test of Police Scotland during the visit as it looks to control the demonstrations in Aberdeen and Edinburgh, as well as any which spring up near to the president's course. The force has asked for support from others around the UK to bolster officer numbers, with both organisations representing senior officers and the rank-and-file claiming there is likely to be an impact on policing across the country for the duration of the visit. Before the visit started, Mr Swinney appealed to Scots to protest 'peacefully and within the law'.
