Mehrdad Ghodoussi issues rallying cry Newcastle United fans will love ahead of Brentford

Mehrdad Ghodoussi has sent out a rallying cry to Newcastle United fans ahead of this afternoon's clash with Brentford.

The Magpies are second bottom of the Premier League and without a win in all competitions but there's a feel good factor around St James' Park after the completion of the recent takeover.

Eddie Howe's appointment has also given morale on Tyneside a lift with his new regime set to start this afternoon.

Unfortunately for the Magpies, Howe won't be in the dugout after testing positive for Covid-19 and will have to wait to make his bow at St James' Park.

However, Ghodoussi has issued a rallying cry for supporters to 'roar' on the team this afternoon against Brentford.

He tweeted: "Let’s put all our might behind the team tomorrow, let’s roar and let the world know, this is our house, this is Newcastle."

Newcastle fans have loved the social media interaction with the new director and have praised him on Twitter.

@GeoffoChampan tweeted: "Fantastic tweet. A leader of leaders."

@Jason_mag tweeted: "We will Mehrdad! No one can stop us! We will be strong by a matter of time! We Are United!"

@Magpie24_7 replied: "Owners who actually care."
