When asked if the Magpies will be relegated, Hughton said: “I always think that they’ll find a way.

"They have been prepared to spend in this [transfer] window, as they did in the summer.

"So I think they’ll find a way. The problem that they’ll always have is that it’s about winning games, but if you’ve got the teams around you also capable of winning games, then you’ve got to win more.

"I think they’ve got the manager to do that [secure survival].”

The Magpies sit two points behind 17th placed Norwich City, but they possess arguably the strongest squad on paper of all the teams scared of being relegated.

Newcastle suffered a poor 3-0 defeat at the hands of Everton on Wednesday evening, and after spending so much money in January the calls for McClaren’s head are growing by the day.
