Newcastle’s Relegation Odds Crash In After Eddie Howe Walks Out

Eddie Howe’s shock departure has sent Newcastle’s outright markets into a spin just three weeks before the new season kicks off — and the bookies say the money’s already moving fast.

Howe’s Exit Sparks a Betting Rush on Tyneside

Eddie Howe walked away from Newcastle United on 30 July, informing the club of his decision after nearly five years in charge and just three weeks before the Premier League season begins. His final game was Wednesday’s pre-season defeat to Bristol City, and reports suggest Al-Ahli head coach Matthias Jaissle is already the leading candidate to replace him.

The news has hit the betting markets hard, with Newcastle’s relegation price shortening sharply as punters react to the upheaval.

bet365’s Steve Freeth said: “Newcastle were popular for relegation before news of Eddie Howe’s reported departure, but we’re motoring towards 1,000 bets taken since they kicked off v Bristol City last night. Opened 40/1 in May & now 20/1 into 12/1!”

Newcastle’s Full Range of Outrights

Here’s where Newcastle currently sit across the full spread of Premier League outright markets in the wake of the managerial change:

Market	Odds
To Win Outright	150/1
To Be Relegated	12/1
NOT To Be Relegated	1/25
To Finish in the Top 2	33/1
To Finish in the Top 4	14/1
To Finish in the Top 6	4/1
To Finish in the Top Half	11/10
To Finish in the Bottom Half	4/6
To Finish Bottom	66/1
To Finish Higher Than Sunderland	2/7

Fan Verdict A managerial exit this close to the season is never good news for the market, and Newcastle backers know it — the relegation price halving in a matter of months tells its own story. Worth watching how the squad reacts once Jaissle’s appointment (if confirmed) is official.
