Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe is enduring a difficult season as they struggle in the bottom half of the Premier League, and The Athletic's David Ornstein has now provided an update on his future.
The Magpies currently find themselves sitting in 14th position in the Premier League table, 10 points behind the final Champions League spot.
Newcastle have now thrown away more points from winning positions than any other side in the league, with their form a major concern for supporters.
Losing both games against their rivals, Sunderland, has undoubtedly led to some fans turning on the manager, but surprisingly, they are still in with a chance of qualifying for European football, as long as they head back in the right direction as soon as possible.
