This man is class. I am a founding ATL season ticket holder, so I have seen his end product over the years. Half of me is gutted that he left Atlanta, the other half is thrilled he is coming to my first love, Newcastle. Shook his hand a few years ago before a match, back when Newcastle was terrible. Told him we needed him in Newcastle to sort things out. Clearly it just took a few years.
Same. I met Bocanegra in 2014 at a bar when they were showing the El Clasico at a Real Madrid bar and they were signing people up for an email group. Fast forward to the opening game against the NY Red Bulls (coached by Jesse Marsch) and the Bobby Dodd stadium was so electric even during a loss. After that game, I became a season ticket holder and will remain so for life.
Me too! ATL OG and it was Miggy going to Newcastle that I started following them and fell in love with the club and the Geordie nation! So excited to see what Darren brings to Newcastle with his big ideas and creativity. There will be some 🔥 kits and marketing in the near future. Hell also connect the club and the community in a big way. Can’t wait to watch it unfold.
@@Akirkland24 exactly, he promised their will be fire kits the man really looks like someone who has fantastic creativity, which makes newcastle lucky too have him.
What a coincidence that you are a newcastle united fan living in Atlanta and going to matches there and eales has moved from Atlanta to Newcastle united. Are you originally from newcastle or are you American?
@@Akirkland24 Wow I didn't think Americans really knew about newcastle united never mind supporting them. I until recently knew very little about Atlanta and i actually thought they had been around for decades but it was quite a shock to find out that you are a new club and I have just seen a picture of your stadium and fuck me its beautiful! I will certainly be keeping an eye on Atlanta in the future and hopefully we cross paths sometime in the future!
Going from Lee Charnley to Darren Eales, immense.
As an ATLUTD fan, he and Miguel Almiron are the reason I started supporting NUFC and watching Premier League! Welcome!
Me too! Started watching Miggys journey and fell in love with the club and the Geordies. Even when things were looking bad, the fans were so immense. Now the future is bright and Darren will take them to the next level.
Heard more in 18 minutes from this bloke than in 18 years from Charnley.
It’s crazy to think how far we’ve come in such a sort period of time, less than 12 months ago this was all a dream! Howay the Lads man!! ⚫️⚪️🔝
Lies again? NBC Universal
I feel like we no longer have to worry about the club, for me thats all i've wanted. We have serious, talented and passionate people running things and its so exciting and refreshing.
Exactly, there is trust in the management. We can enjoy the ride.
Line clean a kegorator
Still gotta worry as you never know in life
@@Doggomorph why? You have no control over it. Focus on things you can influence. Otherwise you will have a heart attack for no reason lol.
@@canderson1955 realc ah bro I focus on my lifting not on newcastle won't be affected by it thanks for the concern ah sial
As an American Darren is a great hire. Very underrated his ability to reach to supporters and grow commercial revenues will be huge in the next few years. Buckle up toon fans its gonna be epic
What a brilliant interview, I've been really looking forward to hearing Darren speak. Not heard a lot about him initially, but judging from this he seems like a brilliant upbeat character which is exactly the kind of mood and energy we need around this club during this process.

This gentleman is sheer class. A thinker, strategist and someone to steer the commercial development of the club. In my view the PIF have exceeded all my expectations. To date they have been exemplar in their professionalism, clearly demonstrated by their appointments. A class act.
How refreshing to have someone of Darren Eales intelligence and football knowledge as CEO at NUFC.
The new appointments since takeover have impressed me to no end. I can’t state how brilliant it is to see the club moving in a positive direction. Welcome to Newcastle Darren.
What a bloke! Incredible listen, thanks so so much for uploading and hope to hear again from Darren soon!
Amazing! This club is going places BIG TIME!!
This guy knows, what a man! Love the fact he is our CEO.
United as one
So happy to have darren join nufc he has proven he is a fan first ceo and has built such an amazing team with atlanta literally building club from nothing including badge, 5 stripes values, academy, stadium and was speaking and drinking with fans pre and post games
U give the toon army love they will love u back and support u all the way look at how king kev is still seen by the club you could be as loved
So happy to have u taking on this key role
United as one
What Atlanta did with him as CEO was special
They won the MLS Cup, but they did it with style, by giving a lesson everyone in MLS followed after thzt

Listen to how Atlanta fans talk about him, everything decision with the fans at the front of it. Ps give us an Adidas kit next year please 🙏🏻
@SONofTHC yeah the basic triangle stripes looks taccy af tbh
Nike
Not just Atlanta
This team change all the MLS
@SONofTHC only adidas i have is originals aswell 👍
I’d like Nike, we’ve not had that yet
ELOQUENT CEO. Amazing to see how Amanda is building a world class team behind the scenes 👏 Dan, Eddie etc. These are the foundations on which long term success will be built. I dont think any NUFC fan would ever have dreamt of the Magpies becoming a global brand. Thank you for giving us a club to be proud of again 💙
I love the way this man talks. I feel so lucky now to have so much professionalism in this club from top to bottom now. It's so different then it was under Mike Ashley and Lee Charnley
An absolutely nice man and someone who will help us so much in the future so excited about our future
From the bottom of my heart I thank you for everything you have done to this club already top to bottom when the bias media finally realise just how much this team can do both on and off the pitch the better, from wor flags to the fans the noise the energy and the patience to do things right internally is just phenomenal.
An excellent, insightful and intriguing interview. Many thanks, much appreciated 😎
An excellent, open and honest interview, welcome to the toon. May your vision come to fruition soon.
Brilliant interview, I think Darren spoke really well here. Loved his mantra of being here to have fun - that’s a sentiment currently felt in the fan base and a far cry from the dark days of Mike Ashley’s ownership 👍
Within a year Newcastle United has moved from being ran like a circus to now seeming very very professional with a vision and a plan to move forward. HWTL.
Haway The Lads!
Exactly, the club is now beginning to do things professionally which I have noticed 👌🏼
I still have to pinch myself at times when I see and hear things like this. Just having a professionally run club at last, after the Mike Ashley era is so refreshing.
As a fan, I now feel respected and part of the team. ‘Together we are United’ now feels true. Thank you
How refreshing and wonderful is to be in the hands of competent professionals at all levels of the club?
it's amazing that Newcastle appointed a man that's not a nepotism, a real pro that was actually a great man with amazing CV for the job, the way Newcastle signed players, managers, and now directors, they not joking around or clueless like PSG and City did, they take this very seriously.
What a pleasure it is to listen to Eddie Howe, Dan Ashworth and now Darren Eales speak after Cashley taking the puss and leaving us with Penfold who never said a bloody word. What a turn around in just 10 months. Isak signing and can't wait to see who is next. HWTL
Welcome to Newcastle United Its an honour to have you at Newcastle United I wish you the best in your endeavour make us a giant best wishes from a proud Toon Fan
He comes across so well and he's obviously quality. The owners have done their homework and we now have a world class structure
PS you have to love him using the word 'bloke'
WELCOME DARREN
Really good interview! Welcome to NUFC!!
Top class interview, Thanks for choosing NUFC.
So refreshing to see this insight into the club and the characters involved.. bravo!
Seems very humble and has a humility which the fans will warm too. The contrasts of previous ownership is vast. One city, one club we are United.⬛️⬜️
Seems like another great signing. Very good interview. Exciting times ahead!!!!
What a future NU has now. Its unbelievable the transformation in such a small space of time.
As a geordie I find it so good how we now see all the guys behind the scenes doing all these interviews and coming off very well
Speaks so well. Class man!
Up the mags 💰
Absolutely class interview in pif I believe in
A Football man, ⚽️ said more in 20 minutes than Charnely did in all his years at the club, the fan experience is about to go stellar on all levels, as he has come from the land of customer service 😀, where it is king
What a signing for the Magpies good backroom staff are equwly important as players on the field . great signing
What a wonderful change it is to have people working at the club who get it. Such a contrast to only a year ago!
seems like a top bloke! lets hope he can help us on our way to glory!
Good luck my man!!!...wish u all the success...take us higher rrr n higherrrrrrr❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
very high up in the club but so grounded he has the fans at heart
Hello Mr.Eales, welcome to the club.
Straight to the point, have you heard of Lucas Paqueta?
- Every Newcastle fan
have you noticed the only reason the fans want him is because he's mates with bruno? we don't need him tbh, much rather have another winger and another striker (isak)
@@NUFCOfficial I’m the same. He’s an AM and Eddie plays with the 3 cms. Bruno was unreal when jonjo was playing now he’s sitting deeper while he’s injured.
@@ianfonterigo-buckley8639 this is why I think maybe play longstaff tbh, just he's so inconsistent, but paqueta can wait or go to West ham imo we literally need a winger more than him
@@NUFCOfficial I'd say the Bruno link is what started it, but have you seen them play together? We were trying to sign Maddison which is a very similar role however Paqueta can play in more positions effectively.
I'm happy whatever happens though and my comment was more of a joke tbh.
I could listen to a 3 hour interview with Darren. Fascinating stuff. Good luck in your new post. I have no doubt it will be successful!
Welcome to Newcastle United Darren 👍
i like how he appreciates the fans so much, i can't wait to see him help grow our club 👏👏👍
Comes across really well this fella. Big things coming HWTL
we are going forward and never looking back. #toonarmy #eddiehowe . such a refreshing interview the owners have the club in great hands.
did such a good job at Atlanta, WELCOME!
Breath of fresh air.
The people in charge now are so on point with a clear vision. What a turnaround from Ashley and his blind mice.
Eales . Ashworth . Howe
Exciting times for Newcastle and the fans
Great addition. Welcome to the family Darren Eales!!
Adidas for our kits next season please, Would love to see adidas making our kits again. Black and white adidas toon tops are huge.
Great interview & seems a genuinely nice guy. best of luck in your role & come on newcastle!!!
Brilliant questions from the interviewer and what a down to earth intelligent man Mr Eales is this is exactly what the club has missed for so many years, lift off is coming big 6 watch out we are UNITED. 🖤🤍🖤🤍
Great interview, I wish you every success in the future.
We have a power house of a CEO. Darren Eales is a machine, Still have to pinch myself! Can’t believe all this happening, dreamland ⚫️⚪️⚫️
Great video. Welcome to Newcastle Darren!
I've watched this video twice now. Just because it made me so happy the first time I watched it
Looks like some of Newcastle's best signings have been behind the scenes.
What a man!!! Welcome to the toon Darren ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️
This guy speaks very well, we are in good hands
What a time to be a Newcastle fan. We’ve waited a long time for this. Enjoy it
It's karma 😉
Exactly, forgot what it was like to hardly not be able to wait for the next match. HWTL
i love newcastle united 🥰😍🇸🇦
كلنا 😂
@@saudkm7698
يب يب 👍🇸🇦
Love hearing these people refer to 'us' and 'we'. I know they do it at every club, but it feels good.
Reunited with Miggy as we affectionately referred to him at Atlanta United. Had a good run with Spurs too. Was university educated in the U.S.
Briefly spoke with him at Atlanta United season ticket holder functions. He was often mingling in the supporters sections prematch. Just FYI Atlanta United season has been riddled with an unusually high amount of injuries this season. 4 out of 5 defenders have been out most of season including USMNT contributor Miles Robinson who IMO could play in the EPL. Our 9 and a few others have been out some of most of the season. It's just been a bat shite crazy amount of injuries.
Best of luck, I hope you help bring success to Newcastle.
After 14 years of crap so glad we have actual professionals doing there job we have come so far in less than a year
Some bloke man, fully trust him to take our club to the top
Intelligence, humility and passion is something Eales, Ashworth and Howe have in common. This is a huge strength.
We've made some great player signings...But these 3 are the combo that will make us massive
Wow, this guy sounds great!
Seems like a great appointment. Clearly he understands the passion of fans but also the objectivity needed to run a successful business.
First time in my life I've decided to watch a CEO being interviewed. Delighted that we now have a strategy that doesn't involve narrowly avoiding relegation & acting as advertising for Sp*rts Direct.
I like this guy, talks the talk but no doubt he will deliver!
I dont think the new owners have made a wrong a step yet. Seems like a strong appointment!
Welcome to Newcastle United Football Club, founded in 1892. We play in Black & White shirts & our home stadium is St James' Park - this is situated in the centre of the city of Newcastle.
Ashley had the opportunity to do something special with Newcastle but he had no such intention. What a shame he couldn't look at it for what it was, treated well, this club has limitless potential. All the best for the next couple of years.
Amazing bloke! Can’t wait for him to work his magic!
His CV is outstanding , hopefully he can guide us to where we all would like to go.
Good that the club is now working as football and a business, not just a business like that last owner though a club was ran like.
We are the GEORDIES 💪
Darren bringing a whole bunch of ATL UTD fans with him!
Top bloke, clearly. Happy days.
More of this please
Reassuring to see that professional experienced people are being appointed. I hope the fans get the rewards.
Welcome Darren ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️
Exudes enthusiasm and comes across as competent HTL.
Great interview
Definitely a man with a plan welcome to Newcastle.
Howay, welcome to Newcastle!
Very best of luck Darren
I don’t think I even know what lee charnley sounded like. How far we’ve come.
The content became magical.
