Interesting that yesterday that Sky described Newcastle as back to the chaos it had been pre-takeover.
They said that Staveley and her husband had brought calm but their departures, alongside Dan Ashworth's, meant there was a change.
Apparently Eddie Howe had a great relationship with Staveley and was very much in charge of transfers, but they are not sure what the new appointments will mean to that.
Players will be frustrated and their agents will be hard at work if they sense a failure to keep making progress.
