Dan Gosling, a former midfielder for Newcastle United, commented on the growing discontent at the club since last season. Speaking to BBC Radio Newcastle, he noted Eddie Howe's successful track record, including two Champions League qualifications and a trophy, arguing he deserved more backing. Gosling pointed to the lack of impact from summer signings in 2025 as a key factor in the team’s struggles during the 2025-26 campaign. He expressed concern about the club's trajectory since Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi sold their 6% stake in July 2024, suggesting Howe's relationship with the ownership may have also affected morale. John Anderson, a former defender for Newcastle, echoed Gosling's sentiments, stating that Howe seemed fatigued following the pre-season matches.

"Former Newcastle midfielder Dan Gosling has said "discontent" had been building at the club since the start of last season. "After what he [Eddie Howe] had done to bring two Champions League qualifications and to win a trophy, I think he deserved everything from them." Gosling said the Magpies' 2025 summer buys were the main reason for Newcastle's poor 2025-26 campaign.
