Newcastle United have held advanced talks with Dougie Freedman and Johannes Spors over the role of sporting director, Sky Sports News understands. The club have undergone an exhaustive process and spoken to a number of candidates. It is thought they are now close to an appointment. Freedman is currently Crystal Palace sporting director, while Spors is the global sporting director at 777 group.
Howe, a very impressive character and single-handedly the biggest reason for Newcastle's rise from relegation fodder to Champions League competitors, will be given the summer and beyond to rebuild his injury-ravaged squad. The only concern would be if Christmas is reached and things are still regressing. But surely Newcastle can't have as bad a window as they did last summer, and the schedule won't be quite as taxing without Champions League football to contend with.
