Magpies' Nest-Egg Boost for Howe

Relieved manager hopes Champions League windfall will be a turning point in history
-
NEWCASTLE - A first domestic trophy in 70 years and a return to the Champions League made Newcastle United's season a very successful one. But their final-day 1-0 English Premier League defeat by Everton illustrated the job facing Eddie Howe, if his side are to be real contenders next term.
With proven goalscorer Alexander Isak leading the line, the Magpies have played some thrilling attacking football this season, but listless performances like the one that saw them lose to Everton on May 25 cost them dearly this term.
It took a 2-0 win for Manchester United over Aston Villa for them to secure the fifth and final Champions League spot.
With a reported €100 million (S$146 million) from playing in Europe's premier club competition next season, Howe has some decisions to make.
He said: "We were too desperate to win today - I've said that maybe before in games, where that desperation can sometimes lead to poor decisions and a disjointed performance."
The news of the final whistle at Old Trafford brought unbridled joy to St James' Park, closing out a season that exceeded expectations for Howe and his squad.
