Ex-Toon chairman Freddy Shepherd said the renaming could deter potential investors.

Freddy Shepherd: “It all comes down to money. I don’t think the fans will be very happy.

“Fans in Newcastle, like myself, will always call it St James’ Park anyway so anyone claiming the rights, it’s not going to do them much good because it’s always going to be called St James’.”
