Eddie Howe won’t be there for long and wouldn’t surprise me when he does leave his tune will change sharpish about foreign owners and not giving managers enough time bla bla bla.

It would be a truly fickle set of owners who would get rid of Eddie. He's one of the coaches that wants to deliver quality football played in an entertaining and often spectacular way. The only issue I can see is the one we often suffered from and that would be luring quality players away from the magnet that is London. Some saw Manchester as a step too far past Birmingham and so Newcastle. Mind, if they saw Northumbria first . . . . . . . .!

They put that same article out about a month ago as well.

Yep same regurgitated shite they roll out.

I dont see how klopp can clear his name, he only ever moans about Arab owners.
Never Mia s about Barcelona RM etc and the fact he now adds Newcastle to us and psg it's clear he is racist

Have City released a statement over what happened on Sunday

Quite easily because he's talking about money and not the race of the owners. It's just a coincidence that the owners of the clubs mentioned are Arabic. If asked to clarify further he can throw in Chelsea/Real/Barca and put to bed this whole idea.

It's in nearly every article now. It will die down when the next round of games has been completed but his denial is well published and that's all he needs. Having said that though, in explaining what he is challenging they're actually giving more weight to the accusations - everyone can now see that he's called out Arab owned clubs only and has also seen our net spend is much lower. Lampard has already stuck up for City. Howe has pushed back. Martin Samuel has exposed his comments as bullshit and in general there's been enough of a storm for him to tread a little bit more carefully in the future. He knew what he was doing. He's an intelligent bloke. Say enough to hit the mark but not too much that you can't back track to get away with it. English isn't his first language remember!

I disagree. I think Howe will be there a long time. The Saudi owners know how negative the press is towards them. They're not going to fuel the fire by sacking him and bringing in someone new. They're playing a longer game here to quite purposely create as much positive PR as possible. Invest in the training ground, in Newcastle itself - create all that positivity like our owners have and slowly build revenues for a higher transfer budget. Howe is a really likeable guy. He's young, English and handles himself in the right way just like Potter. He's the perfect mouthpiece for their project in its early days.

Daily mirror online this morning telling me Haaland is a disruptive presence in the changing room and this will accelerate is departure from the club. Now call me cynical but what a load of bullshit the mirror comes out with at times( sorry all the time).

You can clearly see how much the other players resent him by the celebrations after he scores !!

The Mirror is probably using the same “journalists“ who consistently write s..t about us in the MEN.

Isn’t your 3rd and 4th word superfluous?

It’s taken as read isn’t it.

On that basis, the entire post is superfluous :-)

The bloke on 5 Live's sports section this morning reporting on Klopp being accused of xenophobia by City because of Klopp's comments that three clubs can spend whatever they want, then goes on to name the three clubs Klopp is referring to as, PSG, Newcastle and Manchester City
He then says "all three being Gulf state owned"

Exactly he named 3 Arab owned clubs not Barcelona RM. He wouldnt have mentioned Newcastle before the takeover, this proves its racist as he didnt mention any clubs taken over by Americans

Also strange that during any interview of any other City players they praise the lad for being "one of them" with no signs of big headiness and a great laugh.
Wankers to a tee these so called journos.

And Newcastle have hardly gone out and spent hundreds and hundreds of millions since they've been taken over. In fact they have invested really well i'd say for the position they are in. Forest spent much more than Newcastle this summer, so if he has a problem with spending, then why not bring Forrest into it?

We all know the reason, Forest don't have Arab owners so only proves the point even more.
