Newcastle are more likely to part ways with sporting director Paul Mitchell before sacking Eddie Howe, sources have told Football Insider.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed there’s “no thinking or process going on” in terms of considering Howe’s future.

There are no other managers being lined up to replace the 46-year-old, and the Englishman is believed to be “pretty safe” right now at St. James’ Park.

There has been talk at the club that Mitchell would be the first casualty rather than Howe if there was going to be a significant change.

Tensions have risen between Howe and Mitchell in recent times, especially since an underwhelming summer transfer window.

Football Insider revealed that the two men have had no contact with each other since the window closed.

Newcastle are set to back Eddie Howe

Howe has got “lots of credit in the bank” at the club right now and has the full backing of the Newcastle hierarchy.

The north east giants have been flying so far this season, having made an undefeated start to the campaign.

The Magpies sit in third place in the Premier League table, with Howe now concentrating on working with the players he has available.

Newcastle had made Marc Guehi their prime target during the summer transfer window but were unable to strike a deal with Crystal Palace.

However, Football Insider revealed that Howe is now set to have his input significantly reduced when it comes to transfer decisions.
