Jamie Carragher has been talking about Newcastle United.

The former Liverpool and England player concentrating the financial challenges Newcastle face.

With PSR, how do Newcastle United reach the point, close the gap, where they can compete financially with the usual suspects?

Jamie Carragher saying that it is going to be tough BUT the most important thing is that in trying to close that financial chasm, Newcastle United don’t end up losing Eddie Howe.

Sky Sports’ Jamie Carragher, speaking about challenges for Newcastle United when it comes to PSR and competing with the usual suspects – 1 September 2024:

“I feel for Newcastle, in a sense that this money (the new owners after buying Mike Ashley out) has almost come at the wrong time.

“The rules now of Financial Fair Play, it doesn’t matter how much money you’ve got.

“It’s what you’re bringing into your club.

“They’re trying to build that up through sponsorships.

“If we’re being totally honest, they may have to sell one of their biggest players for £100m to £120m and go again.

“They might have to do that for two or three years before they can bring that revenue in to keep bringing in better players at maybe lesser prices, like what they’ve done with Bruno Guimaraes, with Alexander Isak, with Anthony Gordon.

“I wasn’t worried about Newcastle. Let’s talk about them getting all the money and getting trophies, I’m not sure you can right now.

“There’s a lot of pressure from supporters on Darren Eales the CEO, on Paul Mitchell the sporting director as well.

“Newcastle United have got to be very careful they don’t lose Eddie Howe.

“Eddie Howe is the number one person, I think in most people’s eyes, for the England job.

“If he’s not happy, he’s going to go to the England job. He will.”
