Brilliant ?

I feel like us being 6 points adrift now is a little different from other clubs who have been in this situation. I’m not saying we will stay up (I actually think we will go down) but there is still more than enough time.

? imagine a premier league player doing that

Hardly mucking them about when we knew Emery wasn’t coming over 24 hours ago

The owners where on Tyneside for 72 hours before the takeover broke to be fair ? and Howe was only in Liverpool last night it’s not far away

Looks like he’s going to be in in time for Saturday

Guessing it does mean something, they still haven’t said who is doing the pre match press conference tomorrow

I was thinking the same ?

Good post but I wouldn’t take it as a given that he wouldn’t be sacked if we are relegated

That’s from Caulkin although they have changes the wording. Basically some of the board preferred Emery to Howe

Not quite true, they called the appointment of Jones weeks before anyone else

No way we agree to it IMO

I’ll be honest I don’t know a lot about him I’m with you in that I don’t see the reasons people seem desperate to get him. I would guess most people who do want him haven’t seen more than ten games of his tbh.

I assume it’s because he doesn’t have a relegation on his CV and a better record all round

Where is it being reported

If and when it’s confirmed be interesting to see the length of contract

Still no news on Jones taking the pre match press conference so I assume still a chance Howe will be in

Why wouldn’t it be ?

More excited if it’s true he’s bringing his own coaching team with him

All whilst spending more than Liverpool in the process

Who do you genuinely think it will be when he does get the sack ?

My main issue with this appointment is that where it the summer and he was given this squad I think he is more than capable of keeping it up. However I’m not sure that he’s the man to come in now in our current position and first claw back the 6 points and then keep us up from there.

The article worded it as if it was a key part of the job to be able to work with Ritchie

I’d be surprised if Howe at full control of transfers (or any manager we bring in).
