Newcastle United reveal stance over Eddie Howe’s future after difficult Premier League start

Newcastle United have dropped down to 14th in the Premier League after consecutive losses to West Ham United and Brentford.

With the team just two points above the relegation zone, questions have been raised over manager Eddie Howe’s future at the club.

However, the Telegraph’s Luke Edwards claims he retains the full support of the Newcastle hierarchy.

There is a calm determination behind the scenes at St James’ Park, and nobody is swayed by outside noise.

Senior figures at the club reportedly knew this season would be challenging due to their European commitments and Alexander Isak’s exit.
