Newcastle Get Rid of Pictures of Bobby Robson's Team, Dump Them in Skip

Newcastle have scored a PR own goal by being caught dumping photographs of Sir Bobby Robson's immensely popular 2001/2002 team in a skip. 

The discarded framed photographs were spotted by local newspaper The Chronicle, which has had a tempestuous relationship with the club's current board headed by owner Mike Ashley. 

The Chronicle was banned from St. James' Park for 14 months between 2013-2014. 

They note in their report about the dumped photographs: 

Sir Bobby, flanked by his star players Alan Shearer and Gary Speed are shown standing proudly in their squad line-up photo - but the image has been removed from the walls of St James’ Park.
