Veteran manager Sam Allardyce believes Eddie Howe should be demanding more at Newcastle United.
The Magpies are set to play Champions League football after finishing fourth in the Premier League last term.
Ahead of a huge campaign that could change the trajectory of the club moving forward, Allardyce believes Howe should ask for more signings.
Allardyce told the No Tippy Tappy Football podcast: "I think Eddie is getting there with the right support with Newcastle. I think he's got a massive season ahead of him.
"If I were Eddie, I'd be pushing for at least four players this season and saying to the board 'if you really want to get there, show me your ambition now'. Because if they don't and they fail, the Newcastle fans will turn, and they'll turn on him.
"When other clubs like Tottenham didn't do it with Pochettino, who got the bullet? They never went out and signed four players when they got to the Champions League final, and they should have won the league a couple of times.
"Jose [Mourinho] at Chelsea had already won the league, and he went 'I want another four players', and they went 'well, you've got enough'. You don't have enough, you have to keep improving all the time, otherwise somebody comes and takes over."
