Eddie Howe has insisted Newcastle United’s revival is not all down to Saudi transfer cash.
The United boss revived the club after taking charge in November, including spending £94m on five new players in January. But Howe has hit back at suggestions that transfer cash alone has seen them climb to Premier League safety.
Newcastle were the biggest spenders in Europe and landed Bruno Guimaraes, Kieran Trippier, Dan Burn, and Chris Wood, plus Matt Targett on loan. They blew some of their summer budget in spending so much to avoid the drop.
