Heard more in 18 minutes from this bloke than in 18 years from Charnley.

Going from Lee Charnley to Darren Eales, immense.

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.

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!! ⚫️⚪️🔝

As an ATLUTD fan, he and Miguel Almiron are the reason I started supporting NUFC and watching Premier League! Welcome!

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

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.

How refreshing to have someone of Darren Eales intelligence and football knowledge as CEO at NUFC.

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.

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 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 guy knows, what a man! Love the fact he is our CEO.

Amazing! This club is going places BIG TIME!!

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

What a bloke! Incredible listen, thanks so so much for uploading and hope to hear again from Darren soon!

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.

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.

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 💙

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

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 🙏🏻

An absolutely nice man and someone who will help us so much in the future so excited about our future

An excellent, insightful and intriguing interview. Many thanks, much appreciated 😎

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 👍

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

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.

very high up in the club but so grounded he has the fans at heart

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

An excellent, open and honest interview, welcome to the toon. May your vision come to fruition soon.

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.

As a fan, I now feel respected and part of the team. ‘Together we are United’ now feels true. Thank you

Hello Mr.Eales, welcome to the club. Straight to the point, have you heard of Lucas Paqueta? - Every Newcastle fan

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

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

Really good interview! Welcome to NUFC!!

What a future NU has now. Its unbelievable the transformation in such a small space of time.

Looks like some of Newcastle's best signings have been behind the scenes.

Seems like another great signing. Very good interview. Exciting times ahead!!!!

What a man!!! Welcome to the toon Darren ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️

i love newcastle united 🥰😍🇸🇦

What a wonderful change it is to have people working at the club who get it. Such a contrast to only a year ago!

After 14 years of crap so glad we have actual professionals doing there job we have come so far in less than a year

Absolutely class interview in pif I believe in

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 interview & seems a genuinely nice guy. best of luck in your role & come on newcastle!!!

did such a good job at Atlanta, WELCOME!

Welcome to Newcastle United Darren 👍

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

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.⬛️⬜️

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

Comes across really well this fella. Big things coming HWTL

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

Breath of fresh air.

Exciting times for Newcastle and the fans

Top class interview, Thanks for choosing NUFC.

Great video. Welcome to Newcastle Darren!

Great interview, I wish you every success in the future.

What a signing for the Magpies good backroom staff are equwly important as players on the field . great signing

Welcome Darren ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️

Good luck my man!!!...wish u all the success...take us higher rrr n higherrrrrrr❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Speaks so well. Class man! Up the mags 💰

I've watched this video twice now. Just because it made me so happy the first time I watched it

seems like a top bloke! lets hope he can help us on our way to glory!

I dont think the new owners have made a wrong a step yet. Seems like a strong appointment!

I don’t think I even know what lee charnley sounded like. How far we’ve come.

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!

Intelligence, humility and passion is something Eales, Ashworth and Howe have in common. This is a huge strength.

What a time to be a Newcastle fan. We’ve waited a long time for this. Enjoy it

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.

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.

Love hearing these people refer to 'us' and 'we'. I know they do it at every club, but it feels good.

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.

This guy speaks very well, we are in good hands

Wow, this guy sounds great!

More of this please

Howay, welcome to Newcastle!

Amazing bloke! Can’t wait for him to work his magic!

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.

Seems like a great appointment. Clearly he understands the passion of fans but also the objectivity needed to run a successful business.

we are going forward and never looking back. #toonarmy #eddiehowe . such a refreshing interview the owners have the club in great hands.

Some bloke man, fully trust him to take our club to the top

Great interview

i like how he appreciates the fans so much, i can't wait to see him help grow our club 👏👏👍

Darren bringing a whole bunch of ATL UTD fans with him!

Best of luck, I hope you help bring success to Newcastle.

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.

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.

The content became magical.

His CV is outstanding , hopefully he can guide us to where we all would like to go.

Welcome Darren mate

One word ,, professional

awesome 🖤🤍

We are the GEORDIES 💪

Exudes enthusiasm and comes across as competent HTL.

Very best of luck Darren

from ashley and penfold to what we have now in less than a year man....still pinching meself! HTL ⚫️⚪️

I like this guy, talks the talk but no doubt he will deliver!

Welcome to the club ⚫️⚪️

Sounds like a sensible bloke. Hope he does well. HWTL.
