Eddie Howe is reportedly prepared to resign if the £1 billion Abramovich-led takeover goes through, fearing it would destabilize his project at Newcastle.

TAKEOVER BOMBSHELL? Abramovich Linked With Shock $1 BILLION Newcastle United Move Howe ‘Prepared to WALK’

English football has been rocked by extraordinary claims that Roman Abramovich is closing in on a sensational $1 billion takeover of Newcastle United.

Reports suggest an agreement in principle has been reached, potentially paving the way for the former Chelsea owner to make a dramatic return to the Premier League. While there has been no official confirmation from Newcastle’s current board or ownership group, the speculation has exploded across social media and fan forums.

In an even more dramatic twist, head coach Eddie Howe is reportedly prepared to resign if the sale goes through. Sources claim Howe has privately indicated he would not continue under a new ownership structure led by Abramovich, fearing it could disrupt the long-term project he has carefully built at St James’ Park.

The news has been described by insiders as “strange” and unexpected, especially given Newcastle’s recent stability and heavy financial backing under their current owners. A $1 billion takeover would mark one of the most astonishing ownership shifts in Premier League history.

Abramovich, absent from English football since 2022, previously oversaw a trophy-filled era at Chelsea. His potential return — particularly at a club already competing at the top end of the table — would send shockwaves throughout the league.

Fans appear split between disbelief and curiosity. Some question the credibility of the reports, while others debate what such a move would mean for Newcastle’s identity and ambitions.

For now, there is silence from all official channels.

Strange news indeed — and if true, a development that could shake the foundations of English football.
