Checko Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I've decided the comments about needing to feel comfortable and happy are basically his way of saying 'You will never make me do an interview for NUFC TV again!' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 People seem to have confused Howe saying "I'm committed here as long as I have certain things I feel I need" as meaning that he suddenly doesn't have those things anymore with Staveley leaving / Mitchell joining. I thought he sounded incredibly positive, focused and committed to the job at hand and pretty shocked at the way it's been interpreted by some.

STM Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Without reading comments in here: It was a clear power play from Eddie. Just like when a player has another club interested, they get a new contract. Eddie is using this moment to stamp his authority. I suspect in the next interview, we will get a much more clear message from him, love the club, happy etc. Today was deliberate.

Joelinton7 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Having watched three interviews now, this is my opinion. He’s fully committed to the club. He’s not said he’s unhappy, he’s not said he’s leaving. He’s said the opposite. He literally said “England is not important”. For me that means, get things right here and England is irrelevant. He’s a little unsure of how the new structures are going to work and wants to see where power dynamics are going to settle. There are a lot of moving parts atm and he needs to be sure of roles and boundaries in this new setup. Basically he doesn’t know how things are gonna’ play out because he hasn’t had the chance to get to know PM and JB yet. For me it’s up to the club, Mitchell, Bunce etc to give him these assurances. Mitchell and Eales have both talked about giving Eddie the best possible platform to succeed on the pitch and they want him to concentrate on what he does best, which is coaching. I don’t know if this means that he’ll have less say in transfers. I wouldn’t think so. It’ll be totally collaborative. Howe should always have the last say imo. I don’t think Eddie is so obsessive that he’ll allow no interference whatsoever. He said, and always says he wants what’s best for the club. He’s not going to spit his dummy out. He’s a solution focused individual who will work with what he’s given, he’s shown that. It’d have to go very sour and his role to be completely diminished for him to leave. I am positive but I can’t deny my feelings that the interviews have left me a bit unsure of the future. We’re going to have to be patient. Wait to see how the window plays out, the first month of the season. I think he’ll stay. If he gets offered the job I think the club will push the boat out for him and show him the love.

Everything sounded positive to me except Tino and Willock still aren't properly training Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he sounded incredibly positive, focused and committed to the job at hand and pretty shocked at the way it's been interpreted by some. 100%. When he talked about the boundaries bit it was in response to the interviewer's follow up on him saying that as long as he's happy at Newcastle he will be here. Then even when he talked about the boundaries, he says that with all of the changes they haven't actually had a chance to sit together and discuss how they'd all prefer to work together. Not sure why people are anticipating this as an issue behind the scenes, especially when Mitchell has even stated Howe was a big part of him joining!

KaKa Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 5 minutes ago, Ikon said: I read it positively overall. However I do think some things might have been better off not mentioning as it only runs the risk of unnecessary speculation imo. Maybe did mention it as a part of a power play. ‘Could’ almost be a way of covering bases or to make sure to get as much control as possible. More likely though to just be about the new changes and how they haven’t set quite yet, boundaries and such, but that’s why I think it would have been better to keep in-house instead. I think he's definitely done that intentionally. More so to emphasize the importance of having those discussions from the outset, and ensuring the club have done a better job of clearly stating everyone's roles. Not because of an issue with Mitchell, but due to the nonsense that took place with Dan Ashworth. Not a big deal though IMO. I respect it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 1 hour ago, gdm said: a new downbeat podcast in the works as we speak Oh no, this is so worrying: Quote "It is an unbelievable football club. I’m very, very proud to be the manager," said Howe, who was speaking to BBC Radio Newcastle from the Magpies' training camp in Germany. "I love the supporters, I love the players, I love the staff. So really, there has been no thought in my mind on anything else and I have been very committed to the job here. "For me, as long as I am happy and feel supported and feel free to do the work that I love to do at Newcastle, I’ll be very happy - and I am very happy. Asked if he expects to start the season as Newcastle manager amid links with England, Howe said: "Of course that is my expectation because I am the manager of Newcastle and I am very proud to be. "But as I said, it is all about the environment I am working in. As long as that is one where I feel I can give my best, then absolutely, we will crack on and I am looking forward to next season." "I’m absolutely honoured and privileged to be manager of Newcastle United. I hope that is for many, many years," Howe added. "My commitment is unwavering. I am determined to win a trophy for the football club - that is in my psyche every day. I want to see joy in the supporters. I want to bring that to them, hopefully."

Joelinton7 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 (edited) 1 hour ago, The Prophet said: Yeah, Eddie doesn’t know himself until he’s sat down and had formal discussions re these power lines. So any predictions of doom from Edwards, Hope, Downie etc are complete conjecture from journalists who prey on uncertainty. If Eddie doesn’t know, how do they know? He likely has a good idea, he knows the club are acting in good faith. He just wants power structures formalised with agreed working principles going forward so that no one is in the dark about what their roles are. He just hasn’t had a chance to do that yet as he’s been at this training camp. Edited July 19 by Joelinton7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I mean, of course theirs negativity in there.... he put a caveat on his future. In 3 interviews he said the same things 3 times, clearly rehearsed. There's clearly a message he wants to get to someone. It could be the Ashworth/Mitchell thing, the PSR debacle/selling Anderson or AS/MG leaving. Clearly something has bothered him. Also, every time he says that he was unaware of the England speculation, he's lying through his teeth. He has a media officer for a start and as if he didn't know about the speculation around him anyway. The only thing that matters is that whatever the issue is, it's put to bed quickly.
