Eddie Howe was right to call for progress on Newcastle’s off-the-field projects - and not because their tangible existence will one day aid him directly. He, like Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and others, was told of limitless ambition when signing for the club, and a new training facility was part of the sell. The training ground, in particular, has become emblematic of their wider concerns about the engagement and urgency of the Saudi-led ownership. None of that tallies with the training ground in which Howe and his squad currently work. Will Tonali cut the ribbon on a new training ground?
