Gullit set to make major changes at Newcastle

First Published: Aug 27, 1998

New Newcastle coach Ruud Gullit will cast a critical eye over the squad he inherits from Kenny Dalglish.

Strikers Andreas Andersson and Stephane Guivarc'h will have a real fight on to stay in contention to partner Alan Shearer in attack. Veteran midfielder John Barnes has been studying for his FA coaching badge recently and is in contention to help Gullit coach the new side. England midfielder Robert Lee is almost certain to be dumped by the new coach. Wayward winger Keith Gillespie faces the axe as does Warren Barton.
