Eddie Howe is hopeful off-field talk will now die down so that he and his Newcastle United side can focus on the football in the coming months. Sunday’s win over Tottenham will certainly have helped on that front, while further communication from the Magpies’ hierarchy will be warmly received from supporters.
Howe won’t argue with the notion his squad is weaker on the whole, despite four new arrivals and Lewis Hall’s move being made permanent. Questions linger over where the north east outfit needed to strengthen most, while there is ongoing debate as to whether Newcastle should have walked away from talks over Marc Guehi sooner.
As such, fingers have been pointed towards the ownership, with the hope now that Howe is backed at the next available opportunity. Has that changed the mood around the club and where fans think Newcastle will finish this season? Does Howe now have a big job on his hands to secure top four football?
