Newcastle United's 'Magpie Group', news clip, May 1988

Extended news clip of John Hall's quest to lead a group of local business men onto the board of Newcastle United.
The clip includes footage from the more successful times from Newcastle's long history but also outlining no trophy since 1969 and a quest for United to move forward keeping star player 's like Paul Gascoigne.
Praise and backing for Gordon McKeag's present board comes from the unlikely voice of former Sunderland Chairman Tom Cowie.

Little did we know then that that group of people would end up changing Newcastle United forever, and for the better

Back in 88 we were all very positive about what the Magpie Group could do for our club. The only concern was whether or not they'd be able to take over. In the event it took relegation and years in the wilderness for that to happen.
