Newcastle United cult hero Nikos Dabizas believes that even if the Magpies end up in the Europa League next season it should still be classed as "a massive achievement" for Eddie Howe's squad.
United will compete for a Champions League slot in the final 12 matches of the season with Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Manchester United all in the mix. But Dabizas feels that Howe's men have already "over-achieved" in the current campaign and in a season that many would have deemed a mid-table finish as a good year after a decade-long brush with relegation, the Greek hero feels that the club's rebuild is starting to pay off.
With sporting director Dan Ashworth now in place as well as some tweaks in the recruitment department, Dabizas is happy to see the Magpies flourishing again. In an exclusive chat with Chronicle Live he has been discussing how the remainder of the season could unfold.
