Howe hopes to use 'PSR to our advantage' this summer

BBC News02-05-2025

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe hopes the boot will be on the other foot this summer to "take advantage of other clubs" who will have to sell players to comply with spending rules.Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) meant the Magpies were forced to sell Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest and Yankuba Minteh to Brighton to avoid a points deduction.But this summer, they are in a significantly stronger situation and they should be able to retain and strengthen, while also demanding a decent fee for those leaving."The PSR deadline plays a huge role for clubs - both those clubs with PSR issues and those without - because those without may potentially look to try to sign players," said Howe."They [the owners] will look to take advantage of other clubs, as clubs did to us last year, quite rightly."It's a really interesting dynamic and one that we're really aware of and that we'll try to use to our advantage if we can."I can't go into the details of that, but no doubt we've got people at the club who are working very hard behind the scenes on it."We want to keep our best players, I think I've made that very clear. That's not just the wish from me, that's the wish from everyone at the club."I don't have a crystal ball. I can't sit here and say what's going to happen. I can only say what my determination is and it is to build a team - the best team possible. To do that, you can't consistently lose your best players."

'Trailblazer' Spending Review fund towns in the dark

Local authorities involved in regeneration schemes announced during the government's Spending Review say they are still waiting for information about what the projects might actually Wednesday, the government said 25 "trailblazing neighbourhoods" would each receive up to £20m over the next decade as part of "community-led" renewal include Walker North in Newcastle, Barrow Central in Cumbria, Thorntree in Middlesbrough and Central Stockton and Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) said the money would "boost growth" and "regenerate our communities". The MHCLG said it "will support improvements people can see on their doorstep, champion local leadership, foster community engagement and strengthen social cohesion".When asked how exactly the money would be spent to achieve this, or how it had chosen the locations to give the money to, the department did not comment. It is understood the money could be spent on various local projects such as youth clubs and councils should receive funding from April 2026. Newcastle City Council said it was still waiting for more information about the scheme. Westmorland and Furness Council said any additional money was "welcomed"."We are looking forward to finding out more about the trailblazer neighbourhoods plans for Barrow Central," a spokesperson Borough Council said that while it was still waiting for more information about the scheme, it believed the funds would support its ambition to accelerate plans to improve Stockton town centre. "We will now work with local partners and communities to develop exciting proposals for the trailblazer," a spokesperson said. Middlesbrough Council declined to comment.

'Newcastle star reminds me of Gareth Bale - he'll be a future England captain'

Thomas Tuchel told Tino Livramento to use U21 Euros as a chance to work on his leadership as former team-mate Theo Walcott says he is convinced Newcastle full-back can reach very top Theo Walcott is tipping Tino Livramento to be future England captain. Newcastle full-back Livramento, 22, was told by Thomas Tuchel he should use the U21 Euros as an attempt to work on his leadership. And Walcott, who deliberately avoided Livramento in training when team-mates at Southampton, believes he has what it takes to lead the Three Lions once he comes out of his shell. Livramento had a starring role in the U21s' opening win over Czech Republic on Thursday night. ‌ And Walcott says: 'He's kind of a right-footed Gareth Bale in stature and the way he runs, and I feel like he's the perfect wing-back. ‌ 'At no point in training did I think about going up against him. There's just no point. I'm a bit older and he's physically stronger. I was quick still but I thought, 'Why am I going to test myself against someone who is physically in a better position than me?' 'I did the same with Kyle Walker when I was playing. I'd go and use my skills somewhere else and that's the stature and how highly I rate him in one-v-one situations. 'Then the Newcastle factor and working with Eddie Howe, English, that whole community of English guys around him, I think that's part of why Thomas Tuchel feels it's important for him to be at this tournament.' Eyebrows were raised when Tuchel did not select Livramento for the fixtures against Andorra and Senegal having handed him a first cap in March. But the manager has since cleared the omission up by saying an U21s swansong can teach Livramento how to shoulder additional responsibility. And from Walcott's experience at St Mary's he can work on becoming more vocal. 'He'd take on information and he's such a good listener,' he says. 'He's very quiet but he really listens well and I think it's hard to get that balance. He's a potential future captain because of his presence and how he is around the place. ‌ 'He's got the potential to be that leader and they just want more of that because they can see it in him, I could see it in him. But you need a little bit more out of him and this tournament can bring a side out of him that he's not used to.' Walcott, working as a Channel 4 pundit for the U21 Euros, thought 'Livramento was going to be a very good Premier League player' the moment he locked eyes on him. ‌ But it was the youngster's dedicated response to rupturing a cruciate ligament in April 2022 that left Walcott utterly convinced. 'I always feel injuries can make or break people, they really can,' he adds. 'His work ethic in that injury process was second to none, it was incredible. Someone could have sulked about things but he was the first one there and the last one to leave because he'd always want to put in more work. 'When you get an injury like that you can feel sorry for yourself but he actually thought, 'It's an opportunity to do other things and build on myself' and then he obviously got his move to Newcastle.'
