Newcastle owner, Mike Ashley will share out £1million between Newcastle's ancillary staff if
the Magpies beat Arsenal on Sunday.
It is understood club owner Ashley will hand the windfall to non-playing and coaching staff if Alan Pardew's men end a difficult season in style.
The Gunners will arrive at St James'
Park needing a victory to guarantee a
top-four finish with North London rivals Tottenham, who face Sunderland at White Hart Lane, hot on their heels.
Newcastle secured their Barclays
Premier League status with a 2-1 win
at QPR last weekend, but desperately
want to end their campaign with three
points having lost 3-0 to neighbours
Sunderland and 6-0 to Liverpool in
their last two home games. The Magpies could yet finish as high as 10th if they beat Arsenal, although
even that would fall short of
expectations after last season's
heroics. www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2326767/Mike-Ashley-offers-1million-bonus-Newcastle-staff-beat-Arsenal.html..... I'm anxiously counting down to 4pm.
