Hughton ready for financial constraints

NEWCASTLE manager Chris Hughton understands he will not have a lavish transfer budget to spend as he looks to strengthen his squad over the summer.

The Magpies have secured an immediate return to the Premier League following an outstanding season in the Championship and are on the brink of securing the title.

If West Brom fail to beat Middlesbrough at the Hawthorns today then the silverware will be heading to St James’ Park even before they travel to Plymouth on Monday evening.
