Newcastle United are convinced they can bring silverware to St James' Park, says managing director Derek Llambias.

Llambias, however, admits this season has set them back in their five-year plan.

"We always said we had a five-year plan. We feel this season may have put us back a little bit, but I think we've now worked our way through that. I would say we are a couple of years away from absolutely having a really, really strong squad with the depth we need.

"A trophy for (manager) Alan (Pardew) would be just incredible. The FA Cup is his dream for this club. For us a trophy would be a dream. Mike and I would love a trophy, for sure we would. We'd also love to challenge those big boys though," he told The Journal.
