Wolverhampton Wanderers head coach Bruno Lage has insisted Newcastle United are not safe from relegation in the Premier League despite their resurgence under Eddie Howe. Boosted by a takeover, Howe's arrival and several January transfer window additions, Newcastle have found form and managed to steer themselves away from the bottom three.
They currently occupy 15h place in the league and are seven points ahead of 18th-placed Burnley, meaning few are tipping them to make a return to the Championship. Lage, however, has claimed he would not consider Wolves safe if they had Newcastle's tally of 31 points.
After being asked if the Magpies were safe, he replied: "If I was in that position with 31 points I would say no. I prefer to win more points. I think with 34 or 35 points you can be safe, not with 31."
