Toon Talk Fanzine says today's news may not be "as bad"

Newcastle United's Managing Director has resigned from the club. Derek Llambias announced he was leaving the post just 24 hours after it was confirmed that Joe Kinnear has been appointed as Director of Football.

Llambias joined the magpies five years ago. He says he is proud of what has been achieved in that time and will be a Newcastle fan for life.

This fanzine editor though says, despite an eventful week off the pitch, today's news may not be a bad thing.
