"Those times are over." Newcastle coach talks about the impact of financial fair play on football

In the past, player sales were mainly the domain of clubs with modest incomes, while wealthy teams didn't engage in this, allowing themselves to retain players for years. However, Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe believes those times are behind us.

Details: The "Magpies" manager stated that with the introduction of financial fair play rules, all clubs, regardless of their external revenues, must now be active in the transfer market.

Quote: "Trading is an integral part of the financial fair play model, both into and out of the club. The days when teams didn't sell players—unless your revenues were really high—are gone. Our revenues aren't where we want them to be. We're trying to increase them, so I think player trading will be very important.

I hope it’s not players we are forced to sell, as was the case with Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh in the summer when there were just a couple of days left in the transfer window. I hope everything will be more stable, but nothing can be guaranteed," Howe said.

Reminder: It was previously reported that former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri could replace the Englishman at the helm of Newcastle.
