SHOCKING DERBY DISASTER: Newcastle’s Saudi Billionaire Owners Finally Break Silence on Eddie Howe’s Job After Humiliating Sunderland Loss – You Won’t Believe What They Said!

It was another setback in what has already been a frustrating campaign for Newcastle United.

Sunday’s loss left the Magpies sitting 12th in the Premier League table, a position that underlines how far standards have slipped compared to last season.

While progress in the Champions League and a positive run in the Carabao Cup have offered encouragement, those achievements have not fully masked growing concerns about the team’s overall regression.

Despite some fan frustration, Eddie Howe’s job is not under immediate threat.

Questions have been raised among supporters about whether the head coach has taken the club as far as he can, but Newcastle’s owners do not share that view.

According to ChronicleLive, PIF remain firmly behind Howe, who still has significant credit in the bank following two Champions League qualifications and Carabao Cup success during his time at St James’ Park.

Considerable investment was made over the summer, with Newcastle spending around £250 million on reinforcements such as Malick Thiaw, Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa.

Even so, many fans feel the side looks noticeably weaker and less cohesive than last year.

Howe, however, is expected to be given patience and time to address the issues and restore momentum in the weeks and months ahead.

Speculation surrounding Howe’s future has lingered for much of the season, and while his achievements on Tyneside should not be overlooked, he cannot afford complacency.

PIF harbour ambitions of turning Newcastle into one of Europe’s elite clubs, but at present that goal appears distant, despite continental progress.

The pressure is now on Howe to prove he can spark a turnaround.

The coming fixtures will therefore be decisive in shaping confidence, direction, and long-term belief.
