"That's why I'm sitting here. If there was doubt, I wouldn't be - because the club is the most important thing. I've never put myself before the club. If I didn't think I was the correct man to take the team forward, and I couldn't give the players what they need, then I would step aside and let someone else do it."
"Those experiences I have been through countless times before stand me in good stead for this moment, he added. The collective spirit is what we're after. We're after the collective fight from all the players and if you have that resolve within the group, you can do amazing things again, so it can turn very quickly. The momentum is against us at the moment. We have to swing it back and then the world can look a very different place within a couple of games."
Eddie Howe said he would step down as Newcastle United manager if he believed he could no longer take the club forward. Newcastle lost three games in seven days and travel to Tottenham needing a victory to revive European qualification hopes. The club faces a congested February with a two-legged Champions League play-off against Qarabag, an FA Cup tie with Aston Villa, and league matches versus Manchester City and Everton. Howe accepted some responsibility after a run of four league games without a victory but said he has no doubts over his credentials. He emphasised collective spirit and the need to reverse momentum quickly. Newcastle have dropped 19 points from winning positions this season.
