In this round of the Premier League, Newcastle United lost 1-3 to Fulham and currently sits at 6th place in the Premier League after playing one more game. According to the British media Football Insider, the current manager Eddie Howe’s position is secure, but his relationship with Director Mitchell has worsened. If there are any personnel changes, Newcastle United will dismiss Mitchell first.
During the summer transfer window this year, Newcastle United hired new Director Paul Mitchell to replace Ashworth, who moved to Manchester United. However, Newcastle United’s summer recruitment was unsuccessful, missing out on their primary target Guehi and failing to sign Elanga at the last minute. According to the media, the tense relationship between Eddie Howe and Director Mitchell further intensified after this.
Currently, Eddie Howe’s position at Newcastle United is quite secure. There are rumors within the club that if the team needs to make significant personnel changes, Mitchell will be the first “sacrifice,” not Eddie Howe. The manager is highly praised within the team and has received full support from the management.
However, according to the media, Eddie Howe’s say in transfer decisions has been greatly reduced.
