Howe's exit, which is understood to be his own decision and amicable, occurred shortly after a 4-1 pre-season defeat by Bristol City on Wednesday, contributing to a summer of turmoil for Newcastle following the sales of key players such as Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali. Speaking to Betfair, Shearer voiced his apprehension that the club's strategy of selling top players, including the potential departure of captain Bruno Guimaraes, likely influenced Howe's decision and creates considerable uncertainty for the team's future prospects. Despite the recent challenges, Howe is widely credited with guiding Newcastle to notable achievements during his five-year tenure, including securing a return to the Champions League and winning the club's first domestic trophy in 70 years. Saudi-based manager Matthias Jaissle, 38, who has led Al-Ahli to two Asian Champions League titles, is reportedly the leading candidate to succeed Howe, though Shearer raised concerns about his lack of experience ahead of potentially managing in a "beast of a league" that is the Premier League.
