Newcastle United promotion Q&A: How many players will stick around, who will they sign and will Rafa Benitez remain as boss at St James' Park?

More than a few Newcastle United fans will have been dealing with a sore head this morning after their club celebrated an immediate return to the Premier League with a 4-1 victory over Preston on Monday night.

Ayoze Perez bundled home twice, while Christian Atsu and Matt Ritchie also got on the scoresheet as Rafa Benitez's men confirmed their return to the top-flight at the first time of asking in some style.

Supporters can now look forward to promotion, but uncertainty remains over who exactly they will be cheering on in the top flight, with Benitez's own future not so clear-cut.
