Here Comes The Money

Former Walsall boss, Richard Money, has been recruited to head the Academy with the appointment as Academy Director.

The 52-year-old has previously worked with young players at Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest. He was also Coventry's Academy Manager before this appointment being made. Apart from that, Money has working spells in Sweden and Australia.

Prior to his appointment at Newcastle, Money commented "This a fantastic opportunity for me, a really big challenge. I have got a lot of experience of working with young players, so this is a job I am well qualified to do."

The appointment will see a much greater impact on the youth development policy which Newcastle has implemented.

Swindon's Ben Tozer, Hungarian youth international Tamas Kadar, Frenchman Wesley Ngo Baheng and Italian Fabio Zamblera and Swedish goalkeeper Ole Soderberg have since arrived
and the focus will be greater than ever in this club youth policy system.
