(Reuters) - Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe said his side does not hold an advantage over other teams after a vote by English Premier League clubs on a temporary ban on related-party loans did not receive enough support.

Thirteen Premier League clubs voted in favour of the temporary ban on loan moves between teams under the same ownership at a shareholders' meeting on Tuesday, British media reported, falling one vote short of the number needed for it to be introduced.
