Armchair Pundit Posted Wednesday at 20:22 Share Posted Wednesday at 20:22 I don't get this thinking, with PSR hamstringing us I think it's pretty unreasonable to suggest there's any potential manager out there that could be doing much better than Eddie currently with the resources he has. https://www.teamtalk.com/newcastle-united/tipped-to-brutally-sack-eddie-howe-by-pundit-despite-carabao-cup-run Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted Wednesday at 21:50 Share Posted Wednesday at 21:50 (edited) I saw the words ‘Simon Jordan’ and stopped reading. That pretentious Postman Pat cunt is always passive aggressive when talking about us. Even when he’s on our side of the argument, he’s damning with faint praise. Seems to really dislike us. Seems to dislike everyone bar himself, TBH. Oh and he works for Talksport Edited Wednesday at 22:19 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis H Posted Wednesday at 23:36 Share Posted Wednesday at 23:36 81 wins in 162 games for us which is bang on 50%. Only Keegan and Hughton in our entire history of permanent managers have bettered that and any modern manager who could have done better than that would never have taken on the challenge. Like Keegan and Hughton, he was the right man at the right time and hopefully he’ll go one step further on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive win last night. I had to come off another chat because too many of the group were constantly banging on about Howe out, he’s shit/useless etc. He’s not perfect but considering what he’s done since arriving and the bigger picture in terms of lack of significant transfers last 3 windows I think he’s done a fantastic job. At the very least he deserves next season after a proper summer window. Edited Thursday at 06:58 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite simply Eddie Howe has done an amazing job, given his resources, and there isn't an "elite" manager out there that could've equalled it. Unless we bin half thd squad in the summer and replace them with "Galaticos" then he'd still do a better job than most, if not all. Daft cunts howling for Mourhino already are embarrassing...

Sibierski Posted Thursday at 09:10 Share Posted Thursday at 09:10 Really hope we win on Sunday for Howe. Have ups and downs with him, but there’s absolutely no doubt he’s been pivotal in establishing us a club in top half that’s providing the foundations for club to kick on for rest of decade. A trophy is a fair reflection of his time. Doesn’t happen and say he moves on in 2026, yea we will likely go onto winning something eventually because money talks, but that first trophy won’t be as deserving for that manager to end our drought as it would be under Howe, if people get what I mean.

Kanj Posted Thursday at 10:26 Share Posted Thursday at 10:26 I’m not even sure how neutrals wouldn’t be rooting for Eddie. He’s about as real of a human it gets in football.

Or at least not the original type of gatekeeper he intended I think realistically Eddie is a gatekeeper, in that he was brought in to build the club, and if he hits his ceiling (which he may or may not) our owners might want to replace him at some point with someone ore proven at the very highest level. I don’t see how that is controversial? We’re obviously all hoping we will one day compete for titles and cups regularly. Whether or not we will and whether or not Eddie will be the manager (capable of) taking us there is very much up for debate, no? That’s not to diminish what Eddie has done in his time at the club, which is phenomenal and I think Jordan even acknowledges that. His argument for why we might bring in someone else if ever thing go stale and we fail to qualify for Europe in consecutive seasons, and how any such replacement may be restricted by the same (PSR) constraints and not do significantly better, also seems realistic enough.

I just don’t think Eddie fits the description of gatekeeper the way Jordan originally meant. Many pundits said from the start Howe would stabilise us if it would be another manager tasked to take us to consistent European football and then title challenge. He would be our Hughes, Ranieiri or even a Dean Smith at Villa or Chris Hughton at Brighton. Even Adkin’s at Soton. That’s for getting us here but we know we need someone else to kick on. I think he’s already surpassed that. Gatekeepers aren’t given the chance to fail - they’re just meant to hold the forte and keep the seat warm and ensure minimum standards are met. It’s like calling Arteta a gatekeeper if he gets sacked without winning the league or CL. I agree with the points raised. But I think they are being used to justify a statement that’s already proven incorrect. Edited Thursday at 14:18 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted Thursday at 14:40 Share Posted Thursday at 14:40 4 hours ago, Unbelievable said: I agree with pretty much everything he’s said there I thought it was a good interview and he makes valid points, especially about what would happen if he failed to qualify for Europe for 2 seasons running, which is a point I have made on here a number of times. I would go further and say he could be in trouble if we don’t qualify for the Champions League and miss out to Nottingham Forest, but maybe winning the cup will save him for a period, like it did for Ten Hag. What doesn’t get mentioned, and what I think is the reason some sections of the fan base get on Howe’s back when we lose, is that we play some really unattractive football for the vast majority of our games and have since the start of last season, with a scattering of memorable performances here and there, or individual brilliance by Isak. People will tolerate our style of football if we are winning, but will call out terrible displays and performances when we lose. You would think it would make it difficult for the club commercially too, as we are not going to attract foreign fans to support the club and buy merchandise with performances like against West Ham on Monday, even though we won. Maybe they will bring someone in to try and freshen it up, if they do then you have to hope it is someone that plays attractive football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
