Howe wants reassurances after Newcastle restructure | Ten Hag and Man Utd owners have ‘heated’ talks | Everton suffer takeover turmoil again

Back Pages

ESPN’s Mark Ogden and The Times’ Martin Hardy discuss the stories dominating Saturday’s back pages that include, the news that Eddie Howe has distanced himself from the vacant England manager’s position but does however, want reassurance from Newcastle after the hierarchy restructure that happened over the summer. They also react to the reports that Erik ten Hag had ‘heated’ conversations with the Manchester United board over the transfer policy at the club and the uncertainty that surrounded him last season. Everton also suffered another takeover collapse after the Friedkin Group withdrew their interest, which Ogden and Hardy believe is worrying for the clubs' fanbase.
