LONDON (Reuters) - Eight straight Premier League defeats, a player getting sent off “on purpose” according to a vexed interim manager and fan unrest towards an owner for his perceived lack of ambition -- Newcastle United are in turmoil.

Newcastle slipped to 15th, two points clear of the relegation zone with three games remaining, following Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Leicester City and they finished the match with nine men after defenders Mike Williamson and Daryl Janmaat were sent off.
