Newcastle will fight to keep Eddie Howe after Gareth Southgate’s England exit
CEO Eales says: ‘We’re not looking to release Eddie’Howe’s contract understood to have £5m release clause
Newcastle’s chief executive, Darren Eales, has warned the Football Association that the Saudi Arabian-owned club will fight to keep Eddie Howe and remain committed to a manager they “love”.
Howe is high on the FA’s shortlist to succeed Gareth Southgate as England manager and it is understood his Newcastle contract contains a £5m release clause but Eales believes the 46-year-old would miss the day-to-day challenge of club management.
