Eddie Howe has warned Jurgen Klopp to be 'careful' with his comments after the Newcastle United boss felt he had to 'stand up' for the club following the Liverpool manager's dig.
Klopp claimed last week that there were 'three clubs in world football who can do what they want financially'. While Klopp did not mention Newcastle specifically, the German went on to say that sporting director Dan Ashworth was 'absolutely right' in declaring there was no ceiling for the Magpies. The Liverpool manager even sarcastically congratulated Newcastle for that before adding that 'other clubs have ceilings'.
Ashworth was, of course, referring to the club's ambitions rather than the amount of money that Newcastle can spend. Although Howe does not tend to get drawn into what other managers say, the Newcastle boss, tellingly, felt the need to clarify that.
