Eddie Howe vs Paul Mitchell: O'Rourke shares Newcastle chiefs reveal

Newcastle United chiefs will not try to force Eddie Howe out of the club, sources have told Football Insider.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that there’s “confidence from all parties” that the issues between Howe and Paul Mitchell will be figured out.

The Newcastle boss isn’t expected to leave or be fired, especially since the club have had such a strong start to the season.

The Magpies currently sit third in the Premier League table after making an undefeated start to the season.

There had been concern among fans that the team wouldn’t be strong enough to compete after an underwhelming summer transfer window, but the squad have proven they’re capable of doing so.

Howe has “lots of credit in the bank” at Newcastle, and he still has the backing of the hierarchy at the club.

Eddie Howe is focused on his current Newcastle squad

Tensions have been rising behind the scenes between Howe and sporting director Paul Mitchell, with the two having had no contact since the close of the transfer window.

The Newcastle boss is now said to be focusing on the players he does have available after missing out on summer transfer targets.

The concentration is keeping the current squad fit after the Magpies were hampered by injuries last season.

The Magpies believe they have a squad capable of competing against any team in the Premier League when everyone is available.

The north east giants will be back in action on Saturday (21 September) against Fulham.
