Stan Collymore admits he’s happy to eat humble pie over the job Eddie Howe is doing at Newcastle.
The former Liverpool and Aston Villa striker turned pundit was critical of the job Howe did at Bournemouth in the end. He didn’t think the manager was able to learn from the mistakes he and his side kept making at the back and feared a lack of pragmatism would ultimately cost him his chance with a bigger club.
However, the job Howe has done at St James’ Park has convinced Mirror Sport columnist Collymore otherwise and, ahead of Sunday’s clash with Tottenham, he is happy to have been proven wrong. “Hands up, I was wrong about Eddie Howe,” said Collymore.
