Cheers from the USA. Back in the late 1990's I started watching English football. I supported Newcastle for an arbitrary reason, I liked Newcastle Brown Ale. The team was fun to watch, as I recall Shearer and Les Ferdinand. That said, I didn't start following the team again because of this news, I bought a 2014 Home shirt a few weeks back and planned to watch them this year as much as I could.
Quick story, I got my buddy interested in football twenty years ago and he became a Newcastle United fan and actually flew to London from the midwest in the USA and drove to St James' Park in a rented car, watched a UEFA cup match, drove back to London and flew home. He brought some merch for me from the shop.
That said, had to join your forum as I think things are going to get interesting and this is the only premier league team I've ever supported so let's have some fun!
Good luck guys!
