Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan admits he got it wrong about Eddie Howe and Newcastle United and is backing them to challenge Manchester City in the years to come. Jordan has been vocal about both the Magpies and their head coach in recent years, but was happy to eat his own words after they secured Champions League football with a draw against Leicester City.
The ex-Eagles chief believes the Toon have laid really good foundations and are the only club in a the chasing pack that could replace Man City in the years to come. Pep Guardiola's side have won five of the last six Premier League titles and are in line for a treble with an FA Cup final and Champions League Final still to play.
When asked if top-four would be the peak for Newcastle, Jordan told talkSPORT: "Oh no it's not the peak. I mean, whether there's a plateau before they go again. I mean, the Saudis don't do second, that's not the motivation of their aim.
