Jack Colback optimistic over Newcastle United future

Newcastle United midfielder Jack Colback believes that the club can push on next season after narrowly avoiding relegation to the Championship.

Newcastle United midfielder Jack Colback is optimistic over the future at the club, despite their battle against relegation last season.

The Magpies were forced to record a 2-0 victory over West Ham United on the final day of the season to avoid the drop into the Championship after a poor run of form left them in a battle at the foot of the table.

However, Colback is adamant that his side have the ability to push on next season to ensure they are not in the same situation again.

He told The Chronicle: "It definitely still feels like a club where, if everything went right, it could be incredible. Everything's here for that to happen – there are great foundations for the club to go wherever it wants to go.

"You've got to be sensible with that because there are clubs that have overstretched in the past and that are in a mess now.

"There's a certain level that's realistic to get to, although that's out of my hands. It's a club with potential, and it deserves to be higher up the league than it has been. Hopefully, we can have a right good go next season."

Newcastle are reportedly close to hiring Steve McClaren as their new manager.
