I was going to bump this thread a week or so ago, but thought I'd wait a little longer just in case , but what an amazing turnaround, and an amazing job that Howe has done, and just about job done (in terms of survival). Unbeaten in 9, and 6 wins from the last 7. Most of the upturn in form has come from resurgence from players who have been here a while time - Joelinton and Fraser in particular, but also Schaar, Willock and even Shelvey, but tonight it was definitely the new boys contributing with Wood and Bruno grabbing the goals and Burn (who has been immense throughout, to be fair) getting an assist - much to big Ralph's disgust Absolutely love Howe. You can tell how dedicated he is and how much effort he puts in, and it's really paying off. So much more organisation, effort, commitment, passion, but most importantly fitness, and it's reflected in the stands as well. I honestly can't believe how much has changed these past few months, but I'm here for it.

Hopefully we will benefit from the Steve Bruce factor tomorrow Paul I'll be tuning in for sure, and hopefully another 3 points for Town. I must admit 5 weeks ago I was half fearing us going down and him passing us on the way, and looking all smug, but that surely won't happen now. I've said a few times, we've had some poor permanent managers in my time as a fan since the mid 90's, but while some may have done a worse job on paper, Bruce has 100% left the worst lasting impression on me. Awful.

Its looking more and more like you're going to beat the drop, if you do sty up do you expect Howe to go and the owners to get a big name in, would be a kick in the teeth for Howe considering what hes done so far, it might not happen of course and they may keep him on (if they stay up) just wondering what you think might happen.

I'd be absolutely gutted to be honest. I'd love Howe to be here for a long, long time. He's just got such an energy about him and he's really connected with the fans. I guess it wouldn't be a major surprise in this day and age if they did want someone with the experience of actually winning trophies now that the first step seems to have been successfully negotiated, but a couple of good things in his favour - he was actually appointed by the consortium (unlike say Hughes at Man City who was already there), and was apparently the big PIF chiefs top choice from the off (despite the Emery approach), and the fans love him and always chant 'Eddie Howe's Black and White Army.' I'd hope he'd at least get all of next season, and I do get the impression he will.

Not really no, but if Newcastle are in the same agenda as the top clubs in Europe they will, look at Wagner, it's a cut throat business.

There will be some squeaky bums around St James park after whats happened with Chelski today
It feels inevitable that at some point in the future, people will look back and say "how was that allowed to happen?"

Visited numerous times in the last decade, always such a vibrant friendly place. Really hope you can upset the so call top 6. My opinion is you are a huge club, and unlike the Forests, Wednesdays, Leeds etc, you dont all claim to have this god given right to be a top club. Good luck fella in the upcoming few years, hopefully visit next season!

Suppose it’s all about how you define a big club. Is it the trophy cabinet or the history of being continuously competitive (for decades) as a top 30 club with a large, vocal following no matter how the team are doing? Theres a club that has won 12 of the last 20 top flight titles in their respective country that have the same following as Golcar United.

Good luck fella in the upcoming few years, hopefully visit next season! Thanks. Yeah, there will always be the 'deluded Geordies' talk and of course Saudi 'blood money' naturally won't go down well with the vast majority of away fans, but when you break down the January business - Bruno made his first start last night after only playing around 70 mins combined in his 4 prior sub appearances, Trippier (4.5) has now missed more matches than he has played (3.5), so after that, it's Chris Wood who the majority of away fans laughed at, and is a downgrade on the existing Wilson, and then after that you have a loan signing LB who was deemed surplus to requirements at mid table Villa, and then Brighton's 4th choice CB who would either play in the back 3 if there was an injury to Webster, Dunk or Duffy, and if not, either LB or on the bench - it's hardly galactico stuff, and the latter 3 would be typical signings for most bottom half clubs anyway, but of course, in most cases they were a significant upgrade on what we had (and have certainly played their part), and the new competition has made the existing players step up big time. The manager is obviously a HUGE upgrade, and a boisterous SJP makes a massive difference as well, it's just a really good time to be a fan at the moment, the most positive I have felt for years, and Howe deserves enormous credit for the turnaround. Even the 'bought their way out' brigade can appreciate that 9 unbeaten and 6 wins from 7 in the PL is absolutely outstanding, by anyone's standards. Regarding the 'big club' part, I guess a lot of it can come down to when you were born. I was getting into football in the mid nineties so witnessed the 7 top 6 finishes prior to Ashley, and the FA Cup finals, and we were in Europe pretty much every season from 1994 to 2004, the club naturally dominates the general local media up here being the only club in the regions main city, admirable attendances all my life, and did have the aura of a 'big club' when I was growing up. The way I see it, there are 3 traditional very big clubs (MU, Liv, Arse) and after that Man City and Chelsea have been boosted up to elite status following their respective takeovers, making it very hard to crack the top 6 (prior to serious investment) but I'd hope my club would be competing for the 7-10 places with some of the other biggish clubs, anything higher would be an amazing season, anything lower would be a bit disappointing, but it obviously wasn't like that the past 14 years and it would either be a case of just about staying up, relegated, or promoted, bar one good season under Pardew. The attendances have largely been brilliant, but a few did see Rafa leaving as the final straw, especially with who replaced him, and Bruce was kind of a symbol of the times, and a realisation of where the club was. A fair few did give up their season tickets, and there were some notable gaps in the crowd, especially from season tickets holders who didn't bother to attend, but would still be included in the official figure, and the club did have to give away some free half tickets just prior to the pandemic, but those giving their ST tickets are regretting it because matches are barely reaching general sale these days, and fully sold out weeks before. Anyway, I've wrote far more than I was expecting / hoping. We weren't really in a position to be picking and choosing who we would hope to be relegated or promoted, but it is looking a lot more promising now, so yeah, hopefully we will be playing each other again next season, and get one or two more northern teams back in the top flight (if you could pip Bournemouth for 2nd), starting with a positive result tonight.

I never get the anti Howe brigade -he has done it with money and without money -some of his lads played through four divisions -plenty of failures of mega chairman laying out big funds to high profile managers who have crippled the club -of course it counts but my chums in Newcastle wanted Howe and are mega happy with him -ps-did he get Burnley relegated -er no …Just one average season

Funnily enough, stopped whining now they have won a few (oh and rather than his Managerial skills, he has bought the wins he or Bruce couldn’t get with the previous Players).

Newcastle fans thought they'd be buying top end players when the new owners came in. Back to reality they're paying £20m for a bang average 30 year old striker from Burnley 😂😂😂 Trippier only played 3 and a half league games unfortunately, but while he has chipped in here and there, and started pretty much every match, Wood has been the least effective of the January signings. It'll be interesting to see what happens to him next season and if he is sold on for half the fee, or if he's happy enough to have a more bit part role at this stage of his career.

Solid away win yesterday pushing you up the table, looking like a top half finish now which is quite remarkable given the start you guys had. I’m happy for you lot to be honest. Will be an interesting summer at Newcastle. If the right signings are made you should be pushing top 8. In time, given the backing, hopefully you’ll be pushing at the top end as it does become tedious when everyone can predict the top 6 before the season even starts so would be a nice change for a different name to be up there.

How was Eddie Howe getting on before the January transfer window and he started to then buy wins?.
You know the Players signed because they are ambitious.
