Chief executive David Hopkinson insists Newcastle have no immediate plans to replace head coach Eddie Howe after a difficult season.

However, he stopped short of guaranteeing Howe will remain at the helm beyond the end of a campaign which has seen the Magpies struggle in the Premier League after reaching the knockout stage of the Champions League and the latter rounds of both the Carabao and FA Cups.
