Eddie Howe has been speaking about Andy Howe’s position at Newcastle United, revealing the key role he played in a host of recent signings and responding to reports of a promotion.
The boss told the press on Friday morning that Andy – his nephew – had a “huge part” to play in the signings of Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, Anthony Gordon, Tino Livramento and Harrison Ashby, insisting he’s been a “very, very prominent” member of our recruitment team.
It was reported last week that Howe junior had been promoted to assistant head of first-team recruitment, seeing him work under Nickson after previously operating as our head of technical scouting. However, Eddie insists that’s just a title change, NOT a new role for the former Bournemouth talent-spotter, insisting there’s been no change to our transfer team since Dan Ashworth’s departure.
“So it’s been a title change, not a real change.” Howe said. “So his role has always been very, very prominent in recruitment. And he obviously joined us when we first came into the club. He came with us.”
“He’s played a huge part in the recruitment of some key players when I look at the role in recruiting Bruno (Guimaraes), Tino (Livramento), Sandro (Tonali), Harrison Ashby, Anthony Gordon. He was absolutely prominent in those key signings for the football club.
“So he’s, he’s done an outstanding job. And as I say, the title change is just recognition really of what he’s done.
When asked if there’s been a reshuffle in our recruitment team, Howe added: “Dan’s (Ashworth) exit hasn’t changed anything regarding our recruitment processes, how we recruit the methods which we use something that’s been totally unaffected.”
