Eddie Howe has warned that further investment is needed if Newcastle are to fulfil the ambition stated by Amanda Staveley this week and win the Premier League and Champions League.
The club’s co-owner responded to defeat in the Carabao Cup final when, during an interview with talkSPORT, she declared: ’We will win the Carabao Cup, we will win the FA Cup, we will win the Champions League and we will win the Premier League.’
Howe smiled when that bold statement was put to him on Friday and, while welcoming the intent, stressed that expectations also need to be tempered in the short-term.
