Crumbled under the heat from 10,000 at the Vitality in his final season……. The Christmas tree will be stopping up longer than Howe in Newcastle! He couldn’t face Glasgow and strung Celtic along for three months before bricking it... this in a two team league that’s the laughing stock of the planet and a club that (at the time) had £28.6 million net cash in the bank (currently £18.2 million 30/6/2021) Would’ve been homesick and one backroom member didn’t fancy the tribalism in Glasgow is the street talk up here.. Granted he’d have a helluva bigger budget at Newcastle but it’ll be a helluva pressure to elevate them to where the new owners desire and even learning to crawl before you can walk can go tits up in say a League cup quarter final on the fate of a linesman’s flag or inept referee, or just the quirk of a ricochet or own goal... He’ll probably try it but just because they’re now the richest club in the world doesn’t mean it’ll pan out easy for him !

Certainly a true test for Howe if he takes the job. Even with the money, I can't see really top players being attracted by the prospect of playing for Howe, Newcastle and a relegation fight to boot. Like many, I think he may end up turning the opportunity down. It won't be until the summer that they can start their dream under a top international manager and by then, with any luck, they will be scrapping in the Championship.

Is this the same Eddie Howe that only managed a year at Burnley because he wanted to move back down south? Yep, thought so. Obviously, the money might be better at Newcastle, but still …

He was successful at Bournmouth as the Chairman bankrolled the club. He failed at Burnley so he has gone to a team that are currently better than Bournmouth and worse than Burnley.

You should make an application to Sky to replace Jeff Stelling. I’d watch it every week.

Them and Norwich gone. Then for me one of Leeds and Burnley to join them.
What Newcastle needed to keep them up (and then change at the end of the season) was an experienced Manager, an old head with loads of Management experience not some one hit wonder.
Oh, wait a minute......

Everyone seems to forget the terrible job he did at Burnley. Not a fantastic record but terrible is stretching it a bit, 8th and 13th place finishes although nothing to write home about are hardly terrible tbh.

They've got Norwich and Burnley at home in their next two fixtures.
Can't really afford anything less than 4 points, otherwise I think they probably are doomed.

No doubt their idiot fans will revel in being the ‘richest club in the championship’ like it’s a great thing.
Might as well brag about being the best looking guy in the burns unit.

Taking the piss, making the point about their owners? Yeah I get that. But I haven't seen any from opposition PL teams so why would it be different if they come down to the Championship?
