If he gets fired it will be one of the biggest mistakes I would have ever seen in the Prem.
If the owners sack him they will have lost their heads completely
No sensible toon fan wants him out, the man has earned more than enough goodwill. In Eddie we trust, we will overcome
This is a bullshit article, The owners,fans and players love Howe. Trying to create a meltdown that isn’t there
He’ll get the can eventually. Maybe now is not the time but i fail to see how he can bring trophies. Lad doesn’t have the dawg in him.
The only people calling for Howe to be sacked fall into one of three categories:
– Those who don’t watch Newcastle games
– So-called Journalists
– The brain damaged
Eddie Howe is a superb manager, but I don’t see the Saudis having too much patience left in the tank.
New Castle weren’t even half good in the UCL and their current run of form is worrying. Sure there are injuries, but plenty of teams are suffering the same.
Not sure who’d replace Howe at the moment; can see the club waiting until the Summer.
The people that put this kind of nonsense out need a reality check, Newcastle have punched well above their weight considering most of their team consists of mid table quality players, the league is just returning them to where they belong, they are not a top 6 club and they’ll be a team that occasionally gets Champions League football
There’s people in this comment section that clearly have no clue how Newcastle have been operating since Eddie took over and don’t understand just how much of a positive impact he’s had on not just performances, but the back room and our players mental health. Fair, you might not follow the club, but then you’re in no place to make an accurate comment.
The people that don’t think he’s good enough to win something after taking us to a cup final last year and giving him one season in a group of death in the UCL need to reassess themselves. Only the worst fans want to ditch their manager after every small slump.
So the common wisdom is no Newcastle fans want him gone. I know 2 who are saying they think the pressure is on and I know 1 who’s wanted him gone for a while now. I’m not saying I agree with this but I do think some people are starting to doubt and if that’s the case now how many more will start to think that if we go without a win for all of January? It’s a very real possibility considering our January fixtures consist of Liverpool away, Sunderland away, City at home and Villa away. This will leave us with 1 win in 11. Of course if he can get results anyway there people will no doubt praise him.
I don’t agree with giving Howe the boot, especially without a viable alternative lined up, the guy overachieved in his first half season and then again his first full season. He’s earned enough good will with me to right the ship. Having said that the club was here before Eddie and it’ll be here after him. I think Newcastle fans can be a little overly sentimental. Sometimes it’s necessary to part ways.
“Journalist” have short memories by trade. But I remember last January was also pretty rough for us. It was also around match week 21 then when we went 5 straight without a win. And then what happened? But a bit of drama makes for a better “news” cycle.
Short of falling into a relegation scrap, Eddie is fine. He’s earned it through until summer of 2025 to see what he can do and build up to. With the same caveat.
Wow, The Guardian wrote a negative Newcastle United article.
This is wild with the amount of injuries Newcastle have had.
To every Newcastle fan saying Eddie is safe and earned his time, ask Chelsea fans if they’d rather have kept Ranieri over Mourinho, ask Man City fans if they’d rather have kept Mark Hughes over Mancini to Pep,
Eddie has objectively overachieved because other teams flopped hard last season, Newcastle have to decide if what they want is 7th-12th place finishes and stick with Eddie or aim higher,
But if being nice guys and mediocrity but not being relegated is what Newcastle fans want then that’s fine, it’s also what they’ll get.
