Newcastle United versus Arsenal on the opening day of the new season could be an interesting affair.
The Magpies fans are desperate to see owner Mike Ashley leave and hand the reins to someone else, but as yet they have failed to see a takeover happen.
United are the only Premier League club yet to sign a player and they have sold key player Ayoze Perez to Leicester City for a fee believed to be in the region of £30million.
Not only that, but they have had to watch on as popular manager Rafael Benitez left the dugout, unable to agree terms on a new contract.
And the man who looks likely to replace him is Steve Bruce, a former Sunderland manager.
Newcastle are in talks with Bruce over becoming the new manager and that has not gone down well with the Magpies faithful.
Before the Bruce news became public, a fan group called for supporters to boycott St James' Park this season in protest against Mike Ashley and the way the club is run.
The initial plan was to "mobilise supporters to boycott the Arsenal game".
A statement read: "Dear supporters of Newcastle United Football Club, If you go to the match this season you are not in the wrong; Mike Ashley is.
"If you boycott televised games you are not in the wrong; Mike Ashley is.
"If you boycott the Arsenal game and St. James Park for the rest of the season you are not in the wrong; Mike Ashley is.
"Ashley is wrong for this club and he is wrong if he thinks he has a future here.
And Bruce's imminent appointment as manager has only heightened that feeling.
There could be an interesting atmosphere inside St James' Park on August 10.
