MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast, Wyness thinks fans want to see signs that the ownership are committed to bringing money into the club.He told Football Insider‘s Inside Track podcast: “Yes, it really is, but I think the fans, and I have some sympathy here again.



Yes, they need to maximise all the revenues as we’ve discussed about Newcastle before, but also I think I want to see more from PIF in terms of them bringing sponsorship deals in. “The commercial revenue under the last commercial director went really well, and they made a big increase, but they’ve got to go double that again to try and get into the area they want to be.
