Newcastle United manager Joe Kinnear has said that owner Mike Ashley's decision to take the club off the market is a good one.
The fact that there is some sort of stability around and potentially money to play with in the transfer window has buoyed Kinnear's confidence.
''It is a positive move. He wants to look forward and what we are going to do now is sit down and see where we can strengthen the side and see what sort of money is available," Kinnear said.
''That hasn't been made quite clear yet, but there will be money available, for sure. We have suggested players to Mike that I would like and now it's really wait and see what price they are.
''(Executive director (football)) Dennis Wise and the rest of the people are finding out just what the prices are.''
