Eddie Howe facing backlash as PIF ‘angered’ by major transfer blunder

Posted by

Despite being adored by fans, Newcastle United could part ways with Eddie Howe.

That’s according to a recent report from Football Insider, who claims there are “no guarantees” over the Englishman’s future.

Even though Howe guided the Magpies back to the Champions League with a top-four finish last season, this campaign has been one of disappointment.

The northeast giants were drawn into the ‘group of death’ alongside Borussia Dortmund, PSG and AC Milan. However, despite picking up some decent results, including a memorable 4-1 home victory against PSG, the Geordies were sent crashing out after finishing rock-bottom of their group on just five points.

And although they remain in the FA and Carabao Cup with the latter competition producing two impressive knockout victories over both Manchester clubs, concerns for Howe’s future are beginning to mount.

These latest reports claim Newcastle’s Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) owners are disappointed with the side’s early European exit and have been angered by Sandro Tonali’s recently uncovered gambling addiction which saw him handed a 10-month suspension just weeks after arriving at St. James’ Park from AC Milan.

Consequently, with Howe and assistant manager Jason Tindall facing potential backlash for the recruitment team’s failings, fans will be fearing their ruthless owners are already preparing for life without the 46-year-old.

  1. Where on earth do you come up with such garbage? You mention journalists are these the lazy hacks that will not let the truth get in the way of a story or the bandwagon jumpers who haven’t a clue so just repeat what some other fool says because they can’t do a proper job. Give your head a shake before writing tripe.

  2. Where do fools get their stupid stories from. Don’t worry about Eddie Howe mate , we the TOON ARMY are happy with our situation…. So bugger off with your lazy journalism and go write about ferries.

    1. Who writes this nonsense we are not doing too badly this season and eddies bought some decent players in and we are still in 2 cups and could still make top 4 again, these reporters could team up with hans Christian Anderson and write a book of fairy tales

  3. Garbage, Howe isn’t responsible for transfers – and somebody elses gambling addiction won’t see him sacked, complete non-article

  4. This campaign has been one of disappointment?
    We’ve already beaten Man City, Arsenal, Man U twice, scored EIGHT at Sheffield United and had a 4-1 home win in the Champions League against PSG, one of the top 3 clubs in the world. We also would have won there as well apart from a totally ridiculous and widely condemned VAR decision going against us in the last minute to give them a draw.
    We’re also in the top 7 of The Premier League and one game away from the semi finals of the Carabao Cup.
    Disappointing? The only thing disappointing is the rubbish your reporter is writing. Eddie Howe to go? Not likely. PIF getting angry with the manager?
    Of course not. Think you’re in the wrong profession pal.

  6. Thats a minute thirty of my life that I won’t get back. This is total drivel without a shred of evidence. Sad testament to what journalism has become.

  7. The recruitment team’s failings?? The guys gambling addiction would be secretive like many addictions. The suggestion that the recruitment team should somehow know about addictions is just ridiculous.

  8. Rubbish reporting like this is the reason why we don’t believe 75%of what you rumour mongers print. Hadaway n s@&%e

  9. It’s down to Dan Ashurst and his team only!
    Eddie Howe and Jason Tindal have got nothing to do with transfer arrangements It’s all down to the hierarchy these days they get top salaries to check into all aspects of the players they are looking to sign!

  10. Clickbait cr@p. Unfounded nonsense from bedroom ‘journalists’. Andrew Walker should hang his head in shame for writing this gash
