Eddie Howe training ground 'buy-in' you don't see as Newcastle United stars accept being benched

Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe did not have to deal with an angry queue of players after naming his team for the clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

In what was deemed an important night of the season for Newcastle and a potentially pivotal moment for Howe following a poor run of results in early 2023, the former Bournemouth boss made some big calls against Wolves. Make no doubt about it, Howe had to change things after a run of three straight defeats in all competitions and five matches without a win.

Yet Chronicle Live understands that the players have massive faith in the coaching staff and there is a major "buy-in" to Howe's methods.

Dujuan 'Whisper' Richards was convinced to sign for Chelsea due to their first-team pledge for the Jamaican wonderkid as well as a 'better' financial package.

Richards was pictured at St James' Park as Eddie Howe's side drew with West Ham, before spending a fortnight bidding to impress the club's academy bosses. The 17-year-old later admitted he was 'expecting' to sign for the Magpies in an exclusive interview with ChronicleLive.

However, days after earning a senior international call-up for Jamaica, Richards was confirmed to have signed a pre-contract agreement with Chelsea on Saturday which will become official on his 18th birthday on October 11. Butler has now explained why the Phoenix prospect decided to snub the Magpies in favour of their Premier League rivals.
