Eddie Howe Says He Hasn't Sought Assurances as Newcastle’s League Slide Deepens

Carragher urges the hierarchy to show stronger backing to retain a coach he views as in demand.

Overview

  • Howe said he did not ask PIF for guarantees over his position and accepted that he will be judged on Premier League results.
  • Newcastle are 14th with three wins from 11 league matches and no away victories, following a 3-1 defeat at Brentford.
  • Howe defended his squad, called the team “in transition” after a heavy summer overhaul, and vowed to find solutions without using injuries as an excuse.
  • Jamie Carragher, writing in The Telegraph, warned the board to do more to support Howe or risk losing him, characterizing the club as approaching a crossroads.
  • Reports note stronger Champions League form than domestic results, and separate reporting suggests stadium expansion plans are delayed with St James’ Park offered for Euro 2028.
