‘Transformative’ £58 million truth revealed by Newcastle United following Amanda Staveley’s outcry
Even the normally composed Eddie Howe acknowledged that Sunday’s victory over Newcastle United at St James’ Park could be “potentially a big moment.” Newcastle has lost three of their last four league games and was thrashed 4-0 by Manchester City last week, but this could still be a historic season if the Carabao Cup finalists regain the consistency that helped them climb the table last month. Howe has challenged his team to prove they are “good enough” by qualifying for the Champions League.
Telling reporters, “I always think there’s a spot for us – not any other team,” Howe said. “There is definitely a place for us. The opportunity there if we are good enough and want it enough.
Naturally, Newcastle managed to earn a spot in the Champions League a few years ago, and Aston Villa did the same last season. For background, between 2006 and 2022, Leicester City was the only team to challenge the status quo. However, after former Newcastle owner Amanda Staveley criticized a group of clubs for “doing everything they can to make sure” that the Champions League spots were available, the days of the so-called big six controlling the league seem to be over.
