Newcastle United manager, Eddie Howe has come out to react to the Premier League vote which failed to block his side’s pathway to related-party loans. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the fact is that not only Newcastle were favoured by the decision, because some EPL clubs and clubs from other leagues take advantage of the loans too.
Howe added that Newcastle has a very good squad at the moment, and they only need more players to come back from injury.
His words, “You say Newcastle were favoured but it was a Premier League vote. We’re not the only club involved in that vote. I think the majority of the Premier League and other clubs around the world [benefit] so it’s not solely on us, I don’t think.
Newcastle, our club, had a view. We voted in a way, a way that we’re allowed to, and the vote came out on the side that it did. I think just from my dealings with it, we’re very relaxed on it. It’s not the be-all and end-all for us. We’ve got a squad that we really like. Now if we get players fit before January then the need to recruit will become much less intense for us.”
WOW.
Edward Howe (born 29 November 1977) is an English professional football manager and former player. He is the manager of Premier League club Newcastle United.
Howe was born in Amersham, Buckinghamshire. When very young, he moved to Verwood in Dorset, and later began his footballing career with local youth teams Rossgarth and Parley Sports before starting his professional career at AFC Bournemouth.
He made his first-team debut in December 1995 against Hull City. Howe established himself as an important player in AFC Bournemouth’s defence and in 1998 he was selected for the England Under-21 team in the Toulon Tournament.
Howe was appointed to replace Steve Bruce as the manager of Premier League club Newcastle United on 8 November 2021, signing a contract until the summer of 2024. Howe watched from the stands as the club drew 1–1 with Brighton & Hove Albion, in a game in which Graeme Jones was acting as caretaker manager. Jones was retained as first team assistant coach as part of Howe’s new coaching staff, which also included Jason Tindall, Stephen Purches and Simon Weatherstone, whom he worked with at AFC Bournemouth, as well as retained Newcastle goalkeeping coach Simon Smith.
