Newcastle United Defines Strategic Path Amid Eddie Howe's England Links

Sporting director Paul Mitchell emphasizes sustainable growth and rejects inflated transfer fees as key to long-term success.

Paul Mitchell insists Newcastle is not afraid of losing Eddie Howe to the England job but values his role in the club's future.
The club aims to avoid overpaying for players, rejecting a £70m deal for Marc Guéhi to set a market precedent.
Mitchell highlights the importance of a balanced approach to spending, given Premier League's profit and sustainability rules.
Newcastle's strategy includes improving scouting and recruitment to find undervalued talent globally.
European qualification remains a realistic target for Newcastle this season, despite a quiet transfer window.
