Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe was reportedly isolated during the summer transfer window, while staff were clenching their fists at Paul Mitchell.
46-year-old Howe became s manager at the end of 2021. He did a brilliant job as he saved them from relegation and then in 2022/23, he masterminded their meteoric rise as they qualified for the Champions League.
Last season was difficult for the Magpies as they exited the Champions League at the group stage. They were hurt by injuries and was under pressure, but they ended the campaign strongly to finish seventh in the Premier League.
Newcastle have been negatively impacted by Financial Fair Play rules in recent windows and endured an infuriating summer transfer window as they missed out on Michael Olise, Marc Guehi and Anthony Elanga.
There was also a major overhaul behind the scenes at Newcastle ahead of this summer as Mitchell replaced Dan Ashworth as their sporting director, while former co-owner Amanda Staveley departed the club.
