Simon Jordan believes Champions League football may be out of Newcastle United's reach after defeat in the Carabao Cup Final. However, the former Crystal Palace owner has backed the Magpies to regain their poise and secure European football, losing him a £1,000 bet he made with fellow talkSPORT presenter Jim White.
Jordan told talkSPORT: "I mean, Newcastle have done remarkably well since the moment the ownership model took over and Eddie Howe walked through the door. I think most of the things they've done they've gotten right.
"Now, they've lost in a cup final and of course they've had a recent downturn in form, which was inevitable because whilst they've spent a lot of money - it was no doubt - to be in the top four was a huge ask. The key component for Newcastle now is not to lose their way because all their season in recent weeks has crescendoed on this cup final.
