Eddie Howe has confirmed that he will meet Yasir Al-Rumayyan for talks.
With Matfen Hall in Northumberland the venue.
BBC Sport reporting that: ‘Newcastle United Head coach Eddie Howe says he is looking forward to sitting down with Newcastle United’s owners next week’…Chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan and a delegation from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) are due to visit the north east of England next week.’
Eddie Howe confirming the impending talks and says he is looking forward to them: “It is something that happens regularly so it’s nothing out of the norm for us…I always like the chance to talk directly to the owners and to express things from my perspective. It’s something we have always done and I look forward to that next week.”
Newcastle United face title challengers Arsenal on Saturday ahead of the talks with the ownership group.
Usually Yasir Al-Rumayyan and the other directors coincide such important visits and conversations with a home match, so presumably they will be arriving later in the week ahead of the Brighton match at St James’ Park.
Eddie Howe looking forward to discussing with the Newcastle United owners how to progress things on the pitch, especially with the transfer window only seven weeks away now.
Just as importantly, Yasir Al-Rumayyan and his fellow directors set to meet senior Newcastle United staff to discuss future plans off the pitch, especially the major infrastructure projects.
The plan regarding a far bigger capacity stadium is obviously the most important. However, numerous media claims that we could be imminently set to hear a major official update on the state of the art new Newcastle United training complex. With claims that a deal has already been agreed with Sir John Hall to buy land he owns at Woolsington, up towards Newcastle Airport.
