Newcastle United co-owner Mehrdad Ghodoussi insists his love for supporters is 'unwavering' after angering section of the fanbase with his St James' Park atmosphere dig after Saturday's win over Chelsea.

The Magpies chief took to X following the 4-1 thumping, pointing out that home fans need to be louder during games to help the team. Ghodoussi's comments didn't go down too well with supporters, many of whom believe the timing was not right.

"What a team #nufc we need to give these guys more support in the stadium, we need to be louder, we need to be the 12th man," Ghodoussi wrote, before fellow co-owner Jamie Reuben added: "What a team and yes we need to match the intensity of the players with our support."

Taking to social media hours before Newcastle's clash with Paris Saint-Germain in the Parc des Princes, Ghodoussi sought to clarify his comments and make amends with supporters.

"Often, our intentions and words don't align perfectly," he wrote. "I believe most of you know how deeply I'm committed to this club; my heart beats in black and white, and my love for the club and all of you is unwavering.

"Let's keep our fingers crossed for tonight, we stand united. Here's to us and our journey together. Howay the Lads."

The atmosphere debate will likely rumble on, with a wealth of supporters currently unhappy with the balloting system or other ticketing changes. That much was clear at the maiden 'We Are United' fan event this week. Supporters had the chance to put questions to club chiefs - Darren Eales, Peter Silverstone and Dan Ashworth - and the majority of those submitted were about home and away tickets, the ballot, resales, memberships or some other ticketing concern.

Eales, in turn, moved to assure fans they would be listened to going forward - with the hint that changes could come as soon as next year. "We know are never going to please everybody," he told the hundreds of fans in attendance.

"Everybody understands that, with supply and demand there's always that person who feels they didn't get a ticket, whatever the system is, we will listen to the group, we did listen, we did change, in the current scheme but we are totally open to hearing from the fans. It is difficult because it's an emotive topic. We know that we can't keep everyone happy."
