Eddie Howe Targets Ending Newcastle's 70-Year Trophy Drought

Newcastle United prepare for a critical Carabao Cup quarter-final against Brentford as financial restrictions challenge the club's progress.

Newcastle United have not won a major domestic trophy since their FA Cup victory in 1955, marking one of English football's longest trophy droughts.
Manager Eddie Howe has emphasized his commitment to bringing silverware to the club, with the Carabao Cup seen as a key opportunity this season.
The club faces financial constraints from Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules and Associated Party Transactions regulations, limiting their transfer market activity and slowing their progress since the Saudi-led takeover in 2021.
Newcastle reached the Carabao Cup final in 2023 but were defeated by Manchester United, and a win against Brentford would secure their second semi-final appearance under Howe.
Howe has highlighted the significance of the Brentford match, acknowledging the expectations of fans and the importance of cup competitions in building the club's success.
