Coach Eddie Howe is experiencing one of his toughest periods with Newcastle United, following a series of disappointing results that have placed the team in a precarious position this season.

The recent loss in the North East derby against Sunderland intensified the criticism, especially with the team's drop to mid-table in the Premier League and their harsh exit from the Champions League with a heavy aggregate defeat to Barcelona.

The pressure doesn't only come from the fans; it also extends to the Saudi owners who plan to conduct a comprehensive evaluation at the end of the season, making Howe's future contingent on securing a position that qualifies for European competitions.

The weak defensive performance, tactical confusion, and lack of stability in the lineup are all factors that have put the coach under scrutiny, according to a report by the English newspaper The Guardian.

Despite this atmosphere, reports indicate that the club's management still supports Howe to lead the rebuilding project in the summer, relying on his previous achievements such as returning the team to the Champions League and winning the League Cup. However, the stance of the Saudi Public Investment Fund remains unclear, leaving the door open for potential changes if results do not improve quickly.

The current crisis has also revealed tension within the club and among the fans, especially following the harsh criticism of the performance in major matches.

With only a limited number of matches remaining, it seems Howe's fate will be decided soon: either saving the season and ensuring continuity, or the end of an era that began with significant achievements but is now threatened with collapse.
