Seems to be good for all parties.
Newcastle get a striker that they desperately need.
Wood gets a payrise, become part of a team that will invest hugely and plays in front of 50000 fans.
Burnly get a sold amount of cash when they are probably are probably a 90% chance of going down, and presumably there is some kind of release clause related to relegation.

Bit rough on a Burnley with Wood to say they are 90% likely for the drop. Sure they have been struggling but they have also been in this position before.
Now by letting him go, almost seems yes they planning on relegation. I’m sure many Clarets fans won’t be happy, though they have had an EPL stint longer than many of them probably hoped.
Yipe Clarets are a strong prospect of being relegated but it's too early to say that it's 90% certain, especially if they had kept the Woodsman.
They have 2 games in hand on Leeds & Magpies. 1 game in hand on Watford & Everton.
But losing Wood is massive blow to their chances of staying up. No Cornet for next month. Barnes long term injured.
See that Burnley are to host Newcastle last game of the season. Could be a frosty reception for Christopher.
