As he prepares for a tough relegation battle, Newcastle's new manager Eddie Howe stated on Wednesday that he can handle with the Premier League club's increasing expectations following their Saudi-led takeover.

After his predecessor retired by mutual consent in October, 13 days after ownership changed hands, Howe has taken over at St. James' Park.

After failing to win any of their first 11 matches this season, the Magpies are the second bottom of the Premier League, having gone winless in three games under interim manager Graeme Jones.

"The task ahead is huge," said Howe. "It is a very difficult challenge. I'm under no illusion. We have a very difficult fixture list in December

"All we can do is look at the horizon, try to win the next game and try be better prepared for the next game after that.

"There is no magic wand. It will take a lot of hard work to instil what we want in the players quickly."
