Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle United, is set to be awarded the freedom of Newcastle following his leadership in the team's Carabao Cup victory, marking the first major domestic honor in 70 years. His nomination by council leader Karen Kilgour will likely be approved soon. As a freeman, Howe will enjoy various privileges, including rights over the Town Moor. However, potential conflicts may arise due to the club's plans for a new stadium on Leazes Park, where he will also participate in quarterly meetings regarding land use.
What Eddie has achieved is nothing short of extraordinary. He will be forever a hero to our city.
Before becoming a freeman, Howe will need to swear to defend the city of Newcastle.
He must also hold a musket and bible and sign an oath during his initiation ceremony.
