Bottom of the form table, protests aplenty and arguably the least likable owner in footballing history.
So the simple task of kit design would have come as a welcome escape from the turmoil currently surrounding St James Park. Even John Carver & Co. couldn't screw that up, right? Wrong! The Magpies released a video yesterday of club captain Fabricio Coloccini displaying the new strip for the 2015-16 season, despite the uncertainty around which league the club will be lining out in come August.
#NUFC's brand new @pumafootball 2015/16 home kit will be available to pre-order from today: http://t.co/lXNuvKpIYG https://t.co/za4aWdjZoB

The problem is that a few hours before the unveling, club sponsor Wonga revealed their new logo which is rather different from that depicted on the Newcastle shirt.
A spokesperson from payday lenders Wonga blamed the "production schedule" for the whoopsie that now sees Newcastle's new kit officially out-of-date before it even goes on sale.
