The Sunday Mirror reports a decision on Ranger’s future will be made when owner Mike Ashley and managing director Derek Llambias return from a trip to Barbados.
Ranger was arrested a week ago for being drunk and disorderly and he will face magistrates on November 17.
But after being arrested three times in three months, the 20-year-old Londoner knows his career on Tyneside is now in the balance.
Will Ashley chalk of the £1m asking price just to get him out of the club?
That seems most likely, because only Blackpool offered to pay money for him and refused to sign for them.
Who will want him now ... with a spell in prison hanging over his head?
The kid is a lost cause ... and Alan Pardew wants him out of the club.
