‘There’s a chance’ - Premier League chief makes bold claim on Eddie Howe’s future at Newcastle United

Former Everton and Aston Villa CEO Keith Wyness believes Eddie Howe can “build a dynasty” at Newcastle United.

For the first time since joining the Magpies, the 46-year-old’s future looks uncertain, with most of the noise not his own doing. A vacant England hot seat following Euro 2024 saw many prominent figures call for Howe to take the international job.

Howe insisted his focus remains on Tyneside but aired doubt about fresh relationships with sporting director Paul Mitchell and performance analyst James Bunce over the summer. Couple that with a poor transfer window and some Newcastle fans have questioned whether the Toon boss has been hung out to dry.

Speaking to Football Insider, former Toffees chief Wyness insisted Howe will remain at St James’ Park and receive future backing from PIF. He said: “I don’t think Howe will get the England job. I think he’ll stay at Newcastle and I believe PIF will back him as much as they can.

“They’ve given him the best resources they can under the PSR rules and he’s enjoyed himself so far. They’ll give him new training facilities and everything he could have wanted when he first arrived.

“Newcastle’s owners and Howe have got a happy relationship and they’ve got a chance at some stability. I don’t see any reason why Howe would be keen to leave.

“He’s got the chance to build a dynasty at Newcastle on his own terms, he’s already taken them to the Champions League. There’s a chance to bring back the good old days, and that’s a big prize.”
