Not to mention the fact that he didn’t last at Burnley because he wanted to be down south, and Newcastle is even bloody further North. This has disaster written all over it.

sne Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Might as well go for Allardyce on a short keep them in a league with a nice bonus contract and then try and get a real manager in the summer if they stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted November 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 4, 2021 Howe's record in the transfer market is pretty shocking too. Strange appointment for them I think (if it happens). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man that’s depressing for them. it would effectively be appointing someone who you know has a ceiling and will wont be there for the complete journey (mark that off your bullshit bingo card...) thats part of the problem i think they have, they need someone who can fight the relegation scrap and then push on and get champions league? who is that man? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the rags make up the vast majority of their “transfer stories” but since the takeover they have been linked to about 50 players. Given they currently don’t have a manager, If there is a shred of truth to any of those it would seem that any manager won’t be making the signings anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler: yes he has. They hated him as much as Steve Bruce when he was there on 2007 so wouldn't be a popular one with the fanbase. He did go in at Everton when they were bottom 3 at this stage of season in 2017 and kept them up comfortably so yes they need that type before eventually moving on to more progressive manager. I rate Howe but don't see him as a good fit for this at all. As said above he's not great at getting clean sheets, move up north didn't work out before so always thought he was just waiting for Southampton job to come up. In a funny way Roy Hodgson would be a decent pick until end of the season. With his age there's obviously no need to sugar coat it's a long term appointment and he kept Palace up when they lost first 7 games in 2017-18 and kept up other clubs from difficult mid season positions (Fulham and West Brom).

In for Bruce or Allardyce then, no to Hodgson. Would also be happy with Sherwood, or perhaps they could prise Phil Neville away from wherever the ****. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brain had done a pretty good job of erasing that from memory, thanks. No way they could get someone of that calibre though.

Farlz Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 So these super owners that are going to take them to glory or some nonsense have completely messed up their first big task and ended up with Eddie Howe. Right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I think it would be a good appointment. Getting Howe at this moment is smarter than getting some funky European name. With the players they have, with the ambition to just stay up, he is the right person. A good coach, and Newcastle don't have that bad of a team so he will make them work.

PieFacE Posted November 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 4, 2021 I mean, Howe has already coached a lot of their players (Wilson, Richie) and worked with Jones before (not 100% sure on that but guessing so as he came from Bounremouth I think?) so it kinda makes sense on a few levels. Plus, he knows the Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
