NEWCASTLE STADIUM CRISIS: EDDIE HOWE ISSUES HONEST WARNING OVER HIS COACHING FUTURE NOW
Eddie Howe admits he likely won't see Newcastle’s new stadium, challenging owners to end the "limbo" and find infrastructure clarity.
Eddie Howe isn't sure he'll be around long enough to see Newcastle United get a new stadium or training ground.
Just a year back, Newcastle seemed way ahead of Manchester United, but now they're behind them in the Premier League. They could be six points back if they mess up at Old Trafford.
David Hopkinson, the new boardroom boss, wants Newcastle to be world-class by 2030, but the team might be in the Prem's bottom half in 2026.
Hopkinson said earlier in the month that Newcastle would be at St. James' Park as it has been for years, and they're working on improving the training HQ. They're already planning to fix up the Academy building next door.
Howe, who's only won six out of 17 matches this season, hinted that he might not be around for the long haul before the big game against Man United.
When asked about the club's plans to move to a new stadium and improve the facilities, Howe said it was important to get things right, even if it takes longer. The Saudi-backed PIF still hasn't made any progress with plans for a new ground, five years after the takeover.
Howe, who has at least three years left on his contract, said, If it takes extra time to make the right calls, and I'm not part of that, then so be it. Get the stadium right for Newcastle for years to come. I feel the same about the training ground. Get the right place and plans. I'd rather they got it right than rushed it. I'm pretty sure I won't see either while I'm here, but I still want to make sure it's there for the future, for fans and players.
The board knows how important it is, too. They want to do it, and they're working on it. We just need to be patient and make sure it's the right answer for everyone.
Howe even said the club's long-term plans were up in the air. He said, If you look at the club as a whole, the training ground and stadium are up in the air right now.
Figuring out what to do would be a huge step. Getting clarity and moving forward in a good way would really change things.
I'm talking about the academy, too. They do great work. If we can improve the facilities—and I don't think facilities are everything—it's a good way to set standards and show what we want to do. When that happens, it will change things. Everyone wants to make it happen.
For the team, how we play is what matters. If we can really work on our style and what we want to do, then the coaches and I can work on what we believe, and hopefully, we'll have a good run at Newcastle.
We have to work on that every day, with everything we've got. The players need to know what we want. If we do that, we'll be a better team.
As Newcastle gets ready for 2026, they'll have won a domestic trophy at St. James' Park after ending a 70-year wait. They still stand a good chance of getting into the Champions League come springtime.
Howe didn't want to get too down after a great year. The last year has been unbelievable. We finally won a trophy, and when I got here, that was the main goal—after staying in the league. Then, there's the Champions League. Being in it is a great experience, and we really want to stay in it.
Overall, it's good to step back and look at everything. It's been a great year.
But winning at Old Trafford is the only thing that will keep the critics away. About the game, Howe said, "They're doing better this year; they've improved a lot." They've been competitive, and they've got some big threats in attack.
I think it'll be a good, tough game for us. It's a good chance at Christmas to enjoy the size of these games. The atmosphere will be special. Since we haven't played them yet, I think we'll see a slightly different Man United.
TACTICAL SHIFT: HOW EDDIE HOWE UNLOCKED SANDRO TONALI’S GOALSCORING INSTINCTS AGAINST VILLA
Sandro Tonali's brace sends Newcastle into the FA Cup fifth round: Read the full Villa Park report and Bruno Guimarães injury news.
Sandro Tonali showed up when Newcastle United needed him most, sending Aston Villa crashing out of the FA Cup.
With Bruno Guimaraes sidelined, everyone wondered who’d step up. Tonali didn’t just fill the gap; he owned it. News broke late the night before that Guimaraes would be out for ten weeks, and you could almost hear the groans from Newcastle fans. They haven’t won a single Premier League match without him this season. It felt like the season might be slipping away.
Newcastle supporters, already battered by years of bad luck and a never-ending injury list, braced for the worst. How would they survive without their midfield heartbeat? But when the pressure was on, Tonali took charge. He smashed in two long-range goals, turning Valentine’s Day into a celebration for the travelling Toon Army.
People have talked plenty about Tonali lately: whispers about his form, transfer rumours, what his agent might be up to, and even frustration after that loss to Manchester City. All of that faded away in 90 minutes. With two clinical strikes, he reminded everyone exactly where his loyalties lie. Sure, there’ll be more rumours before the summer, but right now, Newcastle have a midfielder who can fill the Guimaraes-sized hole.
Thanks to Tonali, everyone talked about Newcastle’s football after the match, not the referee’s blunders. Chris Kavanagh handed out dodgy cards and missed a few big calls, but Newcastle’s win made all that easier to swallow. If they’d lost, you can bet Eddie Howe would’ve had a few words.
But they didn’t lose, and Tonali ended up the hero, sending Newcastle into the FA Cup fifth round. Howe summed it up: “The only way Sandro can answer questions about his form is out on the pitch, and he did exactly that today. We needed players to step up with Bruno out, and all three midfielders did just that. Sandro got two, and Nick grabbed one; our midfielder made a huge difference. We're going to need that until Bruno’s back.”
Speaking of Nick Woltemade, he finally broke his goal drought after 14 games. The 6,000 away fans let him know how much they appreciated it, singing his name long after the final whistle.
Howe praised Woltemade too: “Nick was brilliant in that deeper role, and he deserved his goal. He’s been working hard, learning a new position, and today it paid off. He did the job, on and off the ball, and finished it off with a great goal. I’m really happy for him. Hopefully, this gives him the confidence to keep going and shows him what’s possible for his future here.”
MID-APRIL RETURN: THE DEVASTATING IMPACT OF BRUNO GUIMARãES’ RARE HAMSTRING INJURY BLOW
Bruno Guimaraes is out for two months! Read the full update on Newcastle's midfield crisis and the captain's return timeline.
Bruno Guimaraes’ injury has hit Newcastle United hard. The team’s captain just got back from an ankle problem for only his second start in five games, and then, against Tottenham, he limped off in stoppage time after helping the Magpies pull off a 2-1 win in North London.
After the match, Eddie Howe didn’t hide his concern. “He’s worried,” Howe admitted. “He’s never had hamstring trouble before, so he doesn’t know if it’s just cramp or something worse. Honestly, it feels more like an injury, but we’ll have to wait.”
Bruno sounded hopeful on Instagram: “Very happy with the win! This is what we should be doing. Proud of the team’s character. I just hope it’s not serious, and I’m back soon.”
But the news got worse. By Friday, with the FA Cup game at Aston Villa looming, Howe gave an update: “We’re still waiting for the full picture with Bruno’s hamstring. I don’t think he had any issues before, but late in the game, he was obviously tired. If we’d had a full bench, maybe we would have pulled him out earlier, but we didn’t have that option. We ran out of midfielders, so he stayed on, and then he got hurt.”
Now, ESPN Brazil reports Newcastle will be without their captain for at least two months. That’s a big blow; Bruno won’t be back before mid-April. Newcastle have never won a Premier League game without him since he joined in January 2022, so it’s not just any absence. He’ll also miss Brazil’s matches against France and Croatia. Word is, he’s heading home to get treatment from Rodrigo Lasmar, the Brazil team doctor.
All this leaves Newcastle short in midfield. With Bruno out, only Sandro Tonali, Jacob Ramsey, and Joe Willock are fit. Joelinton and Lewis Miley have missed recent games, but Howe is hopeful. “With Lewy, we’re taking it day by day. He’s got a dead leg, a knock to the thigh, and some muscle damage, but we don’t think it’s long-term. Hopefully, he’s back soon.”
“Joelinton’s doing well, too. He won’t make this game, but he’s not far off. He’s desperate to be involved, and that’s a good sign. He’s feeling positive.”
So, Newcastle face some tough weeks ahead. They’ll need some luck and their missing midfielders back if they’re going to keep their season alive.
