Newcastle United F.C. season 2006-07
Encyclopedia
During the 2006-07 season, Newcastle United
participated in the Premier League.
The summer transfer window saw Roeder sign Obafemi Martins
from Inter Milan
and Damien Duff
from Chelsea
, though he failed to follow up the club's interest in signing Sol Campbell
, claiming he wanted younger players, and unsuccessful attempts were made to lure strikers Dirk Kuyt
and Eiður Guðjohnsen
to the club. As the transfer window closed Antoine Sibierski
was signed from Manchester City
, and young Manchester United
striker Giuseppe Rossi
was signed on a four month loan. Roeder controversially made a last-minute withdrawal from the sale of winger James Milner
to Aston Villa
, to the fury of Villa manager Martin O'Neill
.
A poor opening run of only two wins in the opening thirteen league outings saw Newcastle in deep problems at the wrong end of the table, with the team suffering from the worst injury crisis in the club's history, forcing Roeder to recruit players from the youth academy, notably David Edgar
and Matty Pattison
. Fan protestations against the club's board came following a mid-November defeat against Sheffield United
with the club staring relegation in the face.
The return of senior players saw the club fight back up the league, but a 5-1 FA Cup
hammering at home to Championship side Birmingham City
left fans and players stunned. A UEFA Cup
campaign following success in the Intertoto Cup
had looked like the club's form of salvation, but the team crashed out to an agonising defeat on away goals at AZ Alkmaar. Following that the team ran out of steam, and manager Glenn Roeder resigned the week before the end of the season with the team left in mid-table obscurity. Things, however, did seem to look up with new manager Sam Allardyce
and wealthy new owners confirmed in the off season.

Billionaire businessman Mike Ashley
began his quest to purchase Newcastle in the spring of 2007, successfully acquiring Sir John Hall
's majority stakehold in the club. Chairman Freddie Shepherd remained defiant that he was not going to sell the club, and, despite a takeover being inevitable, appointed Sam Allardyce
as manager following his departure from Bolton Wanderers in April. However, following Mike Ashley claiming a further majority stake hold, Shepherd was forced to sell his stake to Ashley and end his ten-year tenure as chairman.
Ashley brought in lawyer Chris Mort
as chairman, Tony Jimenez
as vice-chairman and Derek Llambias
as managing director.
and the main shirt sponsor was Northern Rock
.

Season summary
The return of senior players saw the club fight back up the league, but an FA Cup hammering at home to Birmingham City left fans and players stunned. A UEFA Cup campaign had looked like the club's form of salvation but the team crashed out to an agonising defeat on away goals at AZ Alkmaar. Following that the team ran out of steam, and manager Glenn Roeder resigned the week before the end of the season with the team left in mid-table obscurity. Things however did seem to look up with new manager Sam Allardyce and wealthy new owners confirmed in the off season.The summer transfer window saw Roeder sign Obafemi Martins
