Newcastle United's owners 'can't wait to spend money' to make the club 'great' again but Eddie Howe will be able to use that ambition to motivate his players as they fight for their futures in the final weeks of the season.
That is the view of former West Ham and West Brom boss Slaven Bilic after Newcastle moved a step closer to safety following a 1-0 victory against Wolves on Friday night. Chris Wood, who was one of the first signings of this new era, scored the only goal of the game from the spot as the Magpies moved 10 points clear of the relegation zone with seven games to go.
It was the perfect response from Newcastle following a 5-1 mauling at Spurs just five days previously. Howe decided against making sweeping changes for the visit of Wolves and instead gave the bulk of these players the chance to make amends, which they duly did.
