Newcastle United chairman Freddy Shepherd and deputy, Douglas Hall, were named the third and fifth highest-earning directors in English football for last year.

Earning a salary of £668,920 from Newcastle, Shepherd also earned from a share dividend of £992,694.

Hall earned £591,667 in wages on top of a huge £1.76m share dividend.

The Magpies' have not seen any players bought at their club since Darren Ambrose over a year ago, and will be very interested by these latest figures!
