    Eddie Howe breaks silence on England job links after Gareth Southgate quits as boss asks Newcastle to back him

    EDDIE HOWE is happy to snub England and stay “committed” to Newcastle – as long as he continues to be supported.The Football Association are now officially advertising for Gareth Southgate’s replacement and the Newcastle boss ticks a lot of the boxes.Eddie Howe says he’s happy at Newcastle as long as they back himCredit: GettySouthgate’s resignation on Tuesday instantly led to Howe and unemployed Graham Potter being installed as bookies favourites for the job.Newcastle issued a hands-off warning to the FA by revealing that their manager had signed a multi-year contract extension with them last summer that does not have a set figure release clause.Magpies CEO Darren Eales also vowed to fight to hang on to the ex-Bournemouth man and said that he still believes the 46-year-old is the “right man for the project”.Howe has now finally broken his silence and addressed his future as he spoke to reporters at the Toon’s pre-season training camp in Germany on Friday.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLAnd he was adamant that he needs to continue feeling backed by Newcastle’s Saudi owners and chiefs.Howe said: “For me, being very proud to be Newcastle manager, this is all about Newcastle.“It’s not about England so as long as I’m happy, feel supported, feel free to work in a way that I want to work, I’ve not thought of anything else other than Newcastle.“I absolutely love the club. I love the supporters. I love where I am at in my career. There’s no better place for me to be. That’s how I feel.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS“I hope that from the answer that I’ve just given that there’s everything you need to know in there.“For me, it’s not about England. England is absolutely someone else’s conversation. It’s not mine. Mine is Newcastle.Gareth Southgate at centre of channel bidding war for glossy documentary after quitting as England boss“To speak about something else while manager of Newcastle is wrong. I don’t think I have to say the answer again. The answer is clear.”It has been a summer of upheaval and change at the North East giants as Howe’s key allies Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi have both left.And with Dan Ashworth’s exit for Manchester United now done, that has led to Paul Mitchell and James Bunce arriving as sporting and performance director respectively.Howe, who has not worked with either before, admitted that “boundaries of relationships and how they’re going to work are slightly unclear”.But when pressed again on whether he would still be in charge for Newcastle’s opening day Premier League home clash with Southampton, he reiterated: “As long as I’m happy in the position I’ve been.“As long as I feel supported by the football club and free to work in the way that I want to work, yes. That’s the crucial thing.“There’s been a lot of change at the football club this summer. It’s been a very difficult summer for everyone connected with the club because with change comes a new feeling so you can point to PSR, Amanda and Mehrdad, a change in sporting director, which, of course, influences me.“These are all big changes and that’s why I’ve made the points that I have because this has to work for Newcastle.England’s job advert for new bossThe FA’s seven requirements to succeed Gareth Southgate:Will hold a Uefa Pro License.Will have significant experience of English football, with a strong track record delivering results in the Premier League and/or leading international competitions.Will be an exceptional leader who understands and will enjoy the international football environment.Will be experienced in successfully identifying, managing and developing English qualified players.Will be highly resilient and comfortable in a very high-profile role with intense public scrutiny.Will have a track record of creating a high performing, positive team culture and environment.Will have strong personal values and integrity and understand and embrace the role that the England Men’s Senior Team Head Coach has inspiring the nation.“It’s not about me as the manager. I’m slightly irrelevant. It’s about making sure Newcastle United is as strong as it can be for the next season and beyond. We’ve all got to come together to be the force that we want to be.”Howe added: “I absolutely want to stay, but it has to be right for me and the football club. You have to understand, there’s no point me saying, ‘I’m absolutely going to stay’ if the dynamic is not right and it’s not going to work. I’m not serving Newcastle well if I do that.“It’s been a difficult summer in various aspects, no one more important than the other, but as a new team coming together we have to set our boundaries.“We have to see if we can work together in a really fluid, dynamic way to the benefit of Newcastle.“I’m working every day with the new people to see if the relationships can be beneficial to Newcastle.“The transfer window is absolutely massive. That’s no criticism of anyone who has come in. I want to make that absolutely clear.“Paul Mitchell has an outstanding record as a sporting director, he’s dynamic, he’s very strong, I think he’s exactly the sort of person Newcastle need to take the club forward.Southgate’s England legacy should be celebrated, not torn downBy Tom BarclayGareth Southgate claimed that only winning Sunday’s final would earn England the respect of the footballing world.Spain proved a last-gasp comeback too far in Berlin, but defeat did not change the fact that Southgate’s eight-year transformation put respect back into the world of England football.Critics will pick apart his cautious tactics, his selection choices and his record in the most high-pressurised games – with some legitimacy.Yet what is quickly forgotten is the laughing stock our national side had become before he took over in 2016.A shambolic Euros exit to Iceland that summer had been followed up by Sam Allardyce quitting just one game into his tenure thanks to his pint of wine with undercover reporters.Then came Southgate, with his decency, his humility, his understated eloquence and his vision for a better, different future.He had analysed why England had so often failed in the past, from lack of preparation at penalty shoot-outs to players being bored out of their minds during major tournaments.Southgate took those findings and implemented a culture where players wanted to play for their country again – and it led to back-to-back finals for the first time in our history.Instead of going to war with the media, he opened his doors to them and discovered, shock, horror, that it was met, generally, with support. It did not stop him from being criticised when required – we are no cheerleaders, here – but the vitriol of yesteryear – or today on social media – was largely gone.No manager is perfect and neither was Southgate. We cannot pretend his teams played like those of Pep Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp.But in the fullness of time, his feats will likely be revered because the results speak for themselves.Hopefully his successor can go one step further and bring football home. To do that, they must show respect to what Southgate has created and build on it, rather than rip it down.To read more from Tom Barclay click HERE. “I’ve absolutely no issues with anyone personally but of course we move together, we have to be able to work together in key relationships for the football club.“I’m not talking about England. England is not even my focus – it’s all about Newcastle it has been all summer.”The FA outlined that the new man’s primary role will be to “lead and develop the England senior men’s team to win a major tournament”.Candidates should have a Uefa pro coaching license and significant experience of English football – both of which Howe possesses.READ MORE SUN STORIESThey also want an “exceptional leader” with “strong personal values and integrity” that is “highly resilient” to deal with the “intense public scrutiny” that comes with the role.And Wembley chiefs also want someone with a “track record of creating a high performing and positive team culture”.

    Mike Perry’s stunning rise from fighting in the streets to working as a weed whacker in prison and now boxing Jake Paul

    SITTING in a prison cell after a botched robbery – Mike Perry’s prospects in life looked bleak. But after serving his time and turning to a career in professional fighting, Perry has completed a complete life turnaround. Mike Perry has had a stunning life turnaroundCredit: Instagram / platinummikeperryHe went from prison to prizefighterCredit: Instagram / platinummikeperryHe is the face of bare-knuckle boxingCredit: Instagram / bareknucklefcThe American was raised in Michigan, were racial tensions were high in Perry’s predominantly black neighborhood. It meant Perry was brawling in the streets way before he was being paid to do so as a profession. “I’ve always been a fighter. Being born in Flint, Michigan, we got great fighters from that area,” Perry told SunSport. “And, I ain’t gonna front being a white boy, having to defend yourself, just hazing in school between the boys.“Guys were strong already and at a young age, I remember guys being 6ft tall with beards in middle school, dunking the basketball and that went around all the sports, football, basketball, boxing, wrestling.” Perry discovered his talent for throwing hands well before picking up prizefighting paydays. “I always just had a knack for physicality,” he said. “I was strong, I was short, I was low to the ground and it took me a long time to realise that I had those abilities. I didn’t know.Most read in Boxing“And then I’ve been coached a lot, had lots of different trainings in my life.“It’s just something that I’ve had in my back pocket and that if I get mad or angry, I can fight, I can fight out of anything.” Sadly, it did not take long for trouble to find Perry. In 2011, aged just 19, Perry and a pair of accomplices drove to a home with the intention of committing armed burglary. But it was botched as the homeowner was in – although police happened to be scoping the area and caught the trio red-handed.Perry was sentenced to two years house arrest and probation – but he was later jailed after violating his terms. He finished the rest of his sentence incarcerated – but it kickstarted the turnaround his life needed. “I did learn a lot from it,” he admitted. “It was like a strict boarding school and you’re in there with a bunch of other guys who can’t get their s*** together either and you got nothing in there but time to get your s*** together.” Perry would spend time in the jail house gym or doing his own makeshift workouts in his cell when he was not working. “I had a job, I went to two different jails without leaving jail,” he said.”They transferred me a couple of times and I worked in the kitchen at one, so I could eat more.“It’s like you worked for just for food, for extra food in there. And then at the other one, I worked road crew where we got to leave and I weed whacked.”When Perry was released he got a job at a UFC gym teaching kickboxing classes while having a few amateur MMA fights. He made his MMA debut in 2014 and in just two years and seven bouts he was signed by the UFC. “I started making jumps and leaps and in the pros and in a short amount of time,” he said.”I think two years, I had seven knockouts in under the third round.“I hadn’t even been to the third round and then I got to the UFC and knocked out a couple more.”It was like a strict boarding school and you’re in there with a bunch of other guys who can’t get their s*** together either and you got nothing in there but time to get your s*** together.Mike Perry on his prison time Perry would go on to become a cult hero in the UFC, beloved for his toughness and all-action style. He spent five years in the UFC before leaving in 2021 to find his true calling. Perry signed a deal with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and became the face of the brand thanks to his gritty style. He is 5-0 with exposed fists having knocked off some of MMA tops stars of recent years. And after years of callouts, Perry has finally landed his dream fight against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. Paul, 27, was due to face Mike Tyson until the boxing icon, 58, withdrew amid a health scare. So Perry – three years after sparring Paul in Miami – finally gets his crack at the 9-1 social media sensation. And he promised that Paul will not hear the scheduled eighth and final round. “My prediction for the fight, I think I’m gonna get in there, I’m gonna showcase my skills,” he said. READ MORE SUN STORIES“I’m probably gonna hit Jake pretty hard throughout the fight early on, second round, third round, fourth round.“And then I’m thinking I can stop him in the seventh. I’m looking to stop him, I’m looking to hit him hard with significant strikes and stop him before the end of the fight.” More
