PAUL MITCHELL and Eddie Howe have called a truce and will finalise Toon’s January spending plans together.
SunSport reported how Newcastle chief exec Darren Eales was backing manager Howe amid his differences with sporting director Mitchell over transfer business.

It led to doubts that the latter would continue in the role — just two months after taking up the position.
The lack of new signings — especially the long-and-public failed pursuit of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi — had left Howe frustrated.
But Mitchell blamed his predecessor for the club’s “not fit for purpose” recruitment set-up as speculation intensified over his relationship with the boss.
However, SunSport understands there was no major fallout between the pair.
And any differences have been ironed out as they continue to learn how each other operates.
They will look to get their January transfer targets on the same page over the next few weeks, with the Magpies needing reinforcements.
One of the big decisions will be whether to reignite their interest in 24-year-old Guehi.
Mitchell refuses to pay over the odds for any player — and the £70million being demanded by Palace last month was deemed excessive.
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
However, both clubs are fully aware the England star’s value will start to dwindle should he fail to sign an extension at Selhurst Park, with his current deal expiring in 2026.
Toon’s transfer business this summer was quiet by their recent standards.
John Ruddy and Lloyd Kelly arrived on free transfers, while Lewis Hall’s loan from Chelsea was made permanent.
Newcastle also signed Nottingham Forest goalie Odysseas Vlachodimos.
While striker William Osula joined from Sheffield United.
