Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has urged people within the game to be «careful with their comments and opinions» after Jurgen Klopp made remarks on the Tyneside club’s spending power and ambitions.

Klopp spoke out after Newcastle’s sporting director Dan Ashworth made an assertion that “I don’t think there’s a ceiling” on the club’s ambition. “He is absolutely right,” Klopp said. “There is no ceiling for Newcastle.

Congratulations, but some other clubs have ceilings.” Ad Howe claims Klopp had misinterpreted Ashworth's meaning.

It’s a difficult one because it's probably been used in the wrong way [by Klopp]. “We have huge plans and want to go to places with huge ambitions.

And while Howe welcomes that approach, he is of the understanding that Financial Fair Play — which is a metric based largely on financial losses compared to commercial revenue — will eventually mean that, without Champions League football, United will have to curb their spending. “I do think it’s unsustainable.
