Newcastle are having a great season and are in third place in the Premier League, seven points behind leaders Arsenal, after securing a sixth consecutive win against Leicester (0-3) on Monday.
The Magpies have gone eleven games without defeat and many in England are wondering where their roof is. For his trainer, Eddie Howe, there was no doubt. The coach is ambitious to the point that he does not rule out that his team is a contender for the title this season.
“I wouldn’t say we can’t,” Howe said today ahead of tomorrow’s game against Leeds at Saint James’ Park. “I have no problem with the fans dreaming about what we can achieve.” Newcastle was acquired in October 2021 by a sovereign wealth fund from Saudi Arabia and since then the ‘new rich’ of English football have been willing to seek contact with the Big Six.
Brendan Rodgers saw them through to the title race
After Monday’s resounding defeat, Brendan Rodgers, Leicester coach, assured that Newcastle are “absolutely” in the race for the title and can emulate the success achieved by the ‘foxes’ in the 2015-16 season, when they were proclaimed as the champion of the Italian Claudio Ranieri.
