Howe: I’d Resign If I Wasn’t Right for Newcastle Job

Howe Defiant Amid Fan Frustration

Eddie Howe says he would resign immediately if he felt he was no longer the right person to lead Newcastle United.

The manager faced tough questions after a 3-2 home loss to Brentford, which saw boos ring out at St James’ Park and Newcastle slump to 12th in the Premier League.

“If I didn’t think I was the correct man to take the team forward, I’d step aside,” Howe told reporters.

“The club is bigger than me. I’d never put myself above it.”

A Tough Run for the Magpies

Ouattara scores late to give Brentford 3-2 win over Newcastle in five-goal thriller

• Only 1 win in their last 8 across all competitions

• Currently 12th in the Premier League

• Fan unrest growing following Brentford defeat

• Knockout matches in Champions League and FA Cup approaching

Despite the downturn, the board is backing Howe, given his role in ending a 70-year domestic trophy drought and securing Champions League qualification in back-to-back seasons.

What’s Next for Newcastle?

• Tottenham (A) – Premier League

• Qarabag (H) – Champions League Round of 16

• Aston Villa (A) – FA Cup 4th Round

Howe remains focused and says he’s leaning on past experience to overcome the current dip.

“The momentum is against us. But that can change quickly.

If we show collective fight, amazing things can still happen this season.”
