The

quintessential book for Newcastle United fans everywhere, Sky Sports

presenter Pete Graves tells the inside story of the Magpies today, using

exclusive interviews with Eddie Howe and other club legends.

Welcome to Newcastle United, the most exciting football club in the world

right now.

Since joining the team in 2021, Eddie Howe has been determined to transform

Newcastle United from a perennial underachiever into one of the biggest teams

in not just the Premier League, but Europe as well. With the players, fans

and decision-makers finally all working together, and with the pain of the

past behind them, the Magpies are ready for a new era to begin...

Telling the story of Newcastle through some of its most competitive

moments, including Kevin Keegan and Bobby Robson's stewardships, as well as

touching on some of its trickier times, television presenter and diehard fan

Pete Graves recaps the team's history and goes inside the club to show what

is so exciting about this team today.

Featuring interviews with key figures past and present, including Eddie

Howe himself, Graves builds a picture of what's happening with Newcastle,

both on and off the pitch, as they climb the league and set their sights on

silverware.

With extensive research and unparalleled access, Here to Compete is the

incredible story of a team reborn and the man who is on course to build an

empire.
