Stan Collymore claims Newcastle United could sack Eddie Howe if they secure Champions League football this season, in one of the wildest takes so far. The Magpies are currently sat third in the Premier League table after an incredible year under Howe.
The former Bournemouth boss has transformed the Toon from relegation favourites into Champions League contenders in just two transfer windows. While the former Liverpool striker is full of praise for Howe, he believes the owners would seriously consider bringing in someone with Champions League experience.
Speaking in his column with Caught Offside, Collymore said: "Newcastle will consider sacking Eddie Howe, even if they qualify for the Champions League. As I just mentioned, Newcastle United may be one of the only clubs able to hire and fire their manager at will and that’s because they have endless amounts of money to spend.
