Eddie Howe has thanked Newcastle United supporters for sticking with him from the "dark days" to the Champions League.
The Newcastle head coach guided his team to the promised land after a 0-0 draw against Leicester City on a night that the fans savoured every moment of. But now the club have moved to the next level and they could be enjoying away days in Milan or Barcelona next season.
Howe said: "I think if you're not united with the fan base, regardless of how you play and performances, I don't think it's going to work. The first thing was to show how important it was that we represented the city in the right way, and that's through sheer hard work and determination.
