A regular theme from new arrivals at Newcastle is how spot on Howe’s man-management is in their down times. Although his approach to training, tactics and team building is meticulous there is also a human side to the Newcastle boss that his players clearly love.

 

He has been known to bring in books on parenting to the new fathers in his squad and had “a few” conversations with Barnes when his daughter arrived. It was hugely appreciated, especially as Barnes’ rehab stretched into the deep mid-winter.

 

“He’s really good with helping you to settle,” Barnes enthuses.

 

“He really understands the challenges that players will face when they are moving clubs, whether from abroad or the other end of the country.

 

“The family situation, he gets a really good understanding of the family situation of each player and he can help you with that. If there are certain things you need, he’ll always be there. More than anything his door is always open for you to go and have that chat.

 

“As a player, you always know – do you need to go and have a chat or if you want to, then he’s always there, which is great. He did give me a few good conversations about my daughter and the different challenges that you were going to face as a dad.”

Why is he cos playing as Tony Pulis? Has he just randomly started balding?

He always wears a cap when they're anywhere sunny. He'd crisp up otherwise.

It does make you wonder, hypothetically if a PL club had the entire England team/squad on its payroll, couldn't the manager just be England manager as well? :)

Depends if the FA think he meets their criteria. Which he probably wouldn't because, again, it's the FA. 😅

Considering that we now have a near full fit squad, no extra games in Europe, and that we lost out on Europe last season, the owners may not be as patient this time around. But, for the same reasons, and the fact that Howe especially thrives in these circumstances (fit squad and no Europe), I really doubt that we will do poorly.

Most people are DESPERATE for him to leave us (Either for England or to be sacked) and for us to get someone lime Mourinho in and then implode with a series of shit and increasingly desperate managerial appointments. That includes most journalists who just by numbers are likely to support other teams, often teams we're looking to overhaul in the league.

 

Always remember that everyone has an agenda.
