Newcastle off the market as Hughton signs deal

NEWCASTLE are no longer for sale after owner Mike Ashley last night took the club off the market and confirmed Chris Hughton will become permanent manager.

Hughton has been given a contract until the end of the 2010/11 season.

But perhaps more significantly, Magpies owner Ashley has been unable to sell and has vowed to plough another £20 million (€22m) into the club this week.
