Eddie Howe reaffirms '100 per cent' commitment to Newcastle job

Eddie Howe has reaffirmed his “100 per cent” commitment to his job as head coach at Newcastle United but admitted he is not looking beyond the end of a draining season which has raised questions about his long-term future at St James’ Park.A deflating 2-1 defeat to Sunderland in their previous match saw Newcastle’s staff and players booed by some supporters during a lap of appreciation, while comments from David Hopkinson, the club’s chief executive, during the international break that a managerial change was not being considered “at the moment”, have prompted uncertainty around Howe’s position.Advertisement
