Overview
- Eddie Howe called Newcastle’s stadium and training-ground situation “in limbo” and said there is a 99.9% chance he will not be manager when those projects are completed.
- Ownership has yet to decide between redeveloping St James’ Park or building a new stadium and has not selected a site for a future multi-team training complex.
- CEO David Hopkinson has said the team will continue at St James’ Park in its current format for years, with incremental upgrades ongoing at Benton despite site limitations.
- The board has publicly backed Howe but is closely monitoring results after a poor league run, with Hopkinson and sporting director Ross Wilson observing the latest defeat at Old Trafford.
- Co-owner Jamie Reuben reiterated the project’s long-term nature and told supporters the rebuild will continue into 2026 and beyond as the January window approaches.
