Chronicle editor Darren Thwaites said: "It's always disappointing to fall out with a football club but our independence and integrity is much more important.
"We may be banned but we won't be gagged. We all want Newcastle United to be successful but it would be nonsense to pretend the fans are happy about what's going on behind the scenes.
"We're devoting more pages to Newcastle United than ever before - both online and in print - and we'll continue to do so.
"It's important for fans to know that our coverage is informed and independent. We've no intention of allowing the club to dictate what we can and can't print."
