Woltemade watch, three Mags score, new CEO quotes and what next?

Ed & Olly are back through the international-break haze to talk Newcastle United’s new CEO, David Hopkinson — what his Real Madrid/MSG background means, and why the stadium decision isn’t as simple as it sounds. We reveal results from our listener poll on his first priority (Sporting Director leads), and why contracts & training ground still matter now.

On the pitch (sort of): Woltemade Watch — mixed Germany outings but an assist and plenty to build on; Bruno scores for Brazil; Wissa scores & assists; Elanga nets for Sweden; three Magpies feature for England. We also salute NUFC Women, off to a winning start at Nottingham Forest.

Listener questions: could Elliot Anderson return one day (and at what price)? Which nearly-signing do we still lose sleep over (hi, Modrić)? Who’s under the most pressure —

Woltemade, Wissa or Elanga?

We finish with a 1997 quiz throwback: three Newcastle players for England in the same game… remember them?
