Emil Krafth will bring an end to his seven-year stay at Newcastle United following the expiry of his contract this summer.
He will depart the club with 106 Magpies appearances and a Carabao Cup winners medal to his name.
Thank you for everything, Krafu ๐ซถ
Gary Neville on Eddie Howe and Newcastle United:
"It is a really disappointing season. The transfer business at the end of the window in the summer was a real problem for them because they ended up with Woltemade and Wissa and that has just not paid off yet at all. That is the difference right now.
I think full faith in Eddie Howe. Full trust in Eddie Howe. That is the way to go. They have got a really, really good manager. So where at some clubs it is easy to say 'let's shift the manager and let's keep the players because they have got five-year contracts, six-year contracts', it is absolutely the other way round at Newcastle, I would think.
I would think they would be thinking if we lost him, we have lost an eight-and-a-half out of 10 manager. Someone who is a real solid performer. Someone who is reliable, consistent, someone who has got a great attitude.
I think basically now, I hope they are sitting down with Eddie Howe and I hope they are going through 'these are the players I want you to shift for me, these are the players I am going to buy into for next season, I want to get these four or five [players] in and I want our business to be done early whilst everyone is thinking about the World Cup, everybody is planning, I want these players in.'
I am hoping they are in a really sure period behind the scenes where they are really getting themselves sorted for next season because for Newcastle now to be where they are, they are a really good side and I like watching them, there is a lot there to like about them (v Arsenal)
They didn't have a cutting edge but Wissa should have scored. If that is Isak (๐ธ๐ช๐) he does score. They are going to need to back their manager properly. Buy into him, back him. They do obviously back him and have done over a long time but almost go again with him.
Lean into making the manager the guy you believe in and say to the players: 'Right, who wants to be on this bus?' That is what I would do if I was Newcastle (management) because I think they have one of the very best there. I think he will pick them up and have them challenging for the Champions League again next season"
I think Gary speaks a lot of truth here and this is surely what will happen. The pressure will be on to right the wrongs of this season straight away though to avoid the Spurs 2.0 tag!!!
Thoughts on Neville's take on Newcastle United?

For those asking why I back Howe. Two champions league qualifications in four years having inherited a team destined for relegation. Won the clubโs first domestic trophy for 70 years despite the clubโs failure to sign a player to improve the first team since Tonali in 2023 because of PSR. Forced to sell Anderson and Minteh for PSR.
Was left last summer without a sporting director and a CEO. lost isak on deadline day - the teamโs top goalscorer and most important player - and missed out on Trafford, Ekitike, Pedro and Sesko as they went elsewhere for money and to clubโs with more aura in London and Manchester.
Yeah heโs made mistakes, but if you look at everything he has achieved Iโd back him over anyone else to lead the rebuild as a manager with a proper recruitment structure in place #nufc
