Talent spotter Steve Nickson is set to stay with Newcastle United.
Boss Eddie Howe wants to shake up the staff but Nickson looks set to remain in his post, says The Sun.
Nickson was hugely influential under Steve Bruce and although they clashed on a couple of targets, the former boss often lost.
And, despite a possible new director of football being appointed, it seems sure he will carry on.
Newcastle director Amanda Staveley has told Toon fans they'll be active in the January window.
She said: “We have got a robust business plan and developing that every week.
“January, we are preparing for that window. It is not a window that we would ordinarily want to invest in as you probably don't get the right deal.
“But that's something that is important at the moment.
“We have been analysing every area of the club and a lot of investment is needed."
