Former Newcastle midfielder Dan Gosling has said "discontent" had been building at the club since the start of last season. "After what he [Eddie Howe] had done to bring two Champions League qualifications and to win a trophy, I think he deserved everything from them." Gosling said the Magpies' 2025 summer buys were the main reason for Newcastle's poor 2025-26 campaign.
From the beginning of the PIF takeover, Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) have put the brakes on Newcastle's ambitions to spend. The Magpies welcomed the new Financial Fair Play rules - the Squad Cost Ratio (SCR), which are now in effect - and, in short, mean the more you generate, the more you can spend. On top of that, in April, the PIF withdrew its multibillion dollar backing of LIV Golf after Yasir Al-Rumayyan - the fund's governor and chairman of Newcastle - confirmed it was reviewing its deals and investments.
Eddie Howe has given Newcastle fans some of our happiest memories. In those terms, it makes sense that Howe has departed, to make way for someone else to make their mark on the club. The timing, despite the thrashing in Bristol, does seem a little odd.
Newcastle fan Samantha Rees has told BBC Radio 5 Live that Eddie Howe "will go down as one of our best managers in modern times" regardless of last season's underwhelming finish. Speaking on the Football Daily podcast, Rees said she "couldn't believe it" when she heard the news on Thursday morning that Howe is expected to leave the club with immediate effect.
