Eddie Howe: 'If I didn't think I was up to the job, I'd resign'

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe expressed frustration with his team's recent results, coming under heavy criticism from fans after a loss to Brentford.

Howe said he felt disappointed and unhappy with the team's current state, admitting he has 'doubts' about whether he's doing his job well enough.

However, two days later ahead of a match against Tottenham Hotspur, Howe insisted he had no doubts about his ability to manage the team. 'If I had any doubts, I wouldn't be sitting here,' he said.

Howe has overseen a significant transformation at Newcastle United since arriving in 2021, including leading the team to a Carabao Cup final win over Liverpool and twice qualifying for the Champions League.

The team is currently going through a tough period, but Howe is hoping to draw on his experience to turn things around. He emphasized the importance of 'team spirit' and a 'collective fight' to get the team back on track.
