Eddie Howe

Howe is absolute shite with the press as we've seen whenever he's asked about the Saudis .
Potter blew his audition with the big ego players at Chelsea : he's one for bringing on scrappy unknowns who haven't yet made it and need little motivation.

It should be someone who's had success in the Premier League

Southgate was just as deferential to the Saudis when asked to comment on Jordan going there.
Nobody in football is likely to speak out against them tbh. Don’t think Howe’s slimy attitude matters outside SAFC fans like us. Sadly.

Hope he goes and the Mags fck up the next appointment. That’s not guaranteed mind! Might be safer if he stays and has an average season.
 
His little mate Tindall wouldn’t be able to get away with his shite antics he does now.

I’m still saying Ancelotti. We want to win things? We need a winner

Can’t see why not they paid Southgate 5m a year for 8 years

The mags would demand in excess of £10m compensation (ffs they wanted £20m for their director of football). On top of that, Howe is already on more than Southgate.

The FA would be better off focusing on a top level manager who is either out of work (Klopp), or has a contract expiring (Pep).
 
Best realistic option but not sure he would take it. I would imagine he would be taking a wage decrease for a start.
 
Apart from being English, why the hell would we appoint Howe? 17% win ratio in Europe, never won a trophy (completely bottled the final against Man Utd, when they had been gifted a free route to the final), most of his career has been outside of Premier league or bottom half.

I really hope he stays at Newcastle, as they will never win anything of note under him.

As much as I can't stand the bloke, he should be the next England manager

Newcastle must be getting itchy trigger fingers with their Saudi riches. They'll get an upgrade eventually.

Howe edges Potter for me. When it comes to English managers, there's no one else if we're being honest.

No he shouldn’t - another loser
 
Can’t be arsed to read thru to find out if it’s already been mentioned but what if Howe decides that he would love the opportunity to manage England instead of staying at the caliphate?? Heard mags last season criticising him and saying they should get rid!! The F A only ask once and this could be his only chance!

He was a game away from the sack last season.

it's been doing the rounds in the media that Howe has a 5 million pund release clause there mate. Wouldn't put past Howe and his agent to have leaked that as a come and get me plea to the FA imo there
