pretty strange interview to be giving 7 games left, manager might go, players will be sold , not exactly going to fire them up for the run in

Not a very strong "theme" or "message" in the interview like...basically saying I'm not sure if he'll be around but we're not looking to replace right now. Proper vote of confidence that, and just appears to be playing to the audience of the derby being a massive game to them.

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.

I'd like to retract this statement.

I do still think he is probably the best English manager out there, but I now don't think he's suited to the England role. Gareth Southgate's biggest strength was his ambassadorial leadership, which is Howe's biggest weakness. I don't think he has what it takes to deal with the media etc...
 
Just found out that he has just had a new summerhouse ( posh shed) bought and erected last week at his pad up Ponteland way from a company in Blaydon. Apparently the lads that installed it were mags and when he was there, he was making them cups of tea/coffee and he signed footy tops etc. that the lads brung, seems like a good guy! He also mentioned that he would be getting it dismantled and taking it with him when he moves house. Could that be sooner than we think….???? Could be a subliminal clue there 🧐

Thing is, who are they going to bring in? Their support wants a Zidane style appointment but given their finances today, they are going to struggle to attract an established top manager

You can say that again😂.
Yeah I agree, they’re going to struggle to bring in a top manager. They’re deluding themselves banding about names like Klopp and Zidane

Not sure he'll move in a hurry even if he does get sacked.
 
Howe is a double edged sword. He has got results on the pitch until this season (when it really matters, obviously :cool:) but he has not unearthed anyone decent for two years now (Hall doesn't count as they loaned him first in 23/24). Given he is very good at shelling out the money then NUFC really can't really afford another repeat of last summer.

Howe himself must also wonder if he'll want to stay as he must know himself he needs a proven quality CF and CM (presuming Tonali is off). Neither of those will be cheap and if they don't have CL football then I'm not sure how much budget he'll have to spend on those...
