Although Celtic boss Neil Lennon says he will extend his search for a keeper to ensure they are not left scrambling around if Newcastle refuse to allow Forster to join the Hoops ... Newcastle now claim they will make a decision in July on whether or not they are prepared to allow Forster to leave.
Is Ashley again casting aside the wishes of his manager?
It makes us wonder who is doing the buying and selling at the club.
Kevin Keegan left the club because Ashley was bringing in players the then Toon boss had not even heard of, and this must put Pardew in an awkward position.

FOREWORD BY FAIRS CUP HERO JOHN McNAMEE
Sports Journalist Richie Everson: "At last a book that the fabulous Newcastle United fans can relate to. It's informative, all the facts and figures are there, plus the 120 match reports from all the fixtures ... but it is the articles by the supporters that amazed me.
"I went to many of those games, and this is the only book I can honestly say 'hits the nail on the head'!
"Yes we know the results and the scorers, but some of the facts in this book had me so wrapped up in it I couldn't put it down.
"Was Benny Arentoft cup-tied when he played in the final? Big Wyn and his battle with John McGrath; McFaul scoring a penalty when the crowd had gone home; the trouble in Palermo; it is all amazing stuff.
"I would honestly give this book 10 out of 10."
