From Hope’s latest article:

 

“Asked if the 25-year-old would train this week, the Newcastle boss told me: ‘You have to earn the right to train with us. 

'We are Newcastle United. The player has a responsibility here to be part of a team and part of a squad - you have to act in the right way. So that is also at play here. 

'We will make sure that any player does that to earn the right to train with the group. No player can expect to act poorly and train with the group as normal.”

 

I’m sure @Heron and the Wor Flags guys could select part of that for the Liverpool game…

Fucking go on Eddie lad.  Great stuff

Leadership group will surely want its best player training with them if there's any chance of him staying.

Personally I’d prefer they just deal with it quietly instead of creating more drama, but who am I to second guess Eddie Howe’s personnel management.

Howe's motto to Isak should be: "Be careful, because there's always someone ready to step into your shoes and do your job better than you do it"

Generally, yes, but not when the player has fucked the club as royally and as publicly as Isak

If Eddie tells Isak not to go tour and he has 2 weeks to do as he pleases and Isak decides to go to San Sebastián, that doesn’t make him scum. You give someone 2 weeks off work you don’t get to tell them where they spend that time. Warped logic to conclude he is scum but primarily warped to think that Eddie didnt decide he wasn’t coming on tour. 

 

Utter bollocks.

 

He should be reporting to the clubs training ground and sorting his ‘injury’ out. He’s at work, not off work, it’s pre-season.

That Liverpool lot, they’re slugs

The fact this has played out when the squad were away is to our benefit really. It creates a natural restart point in time when they resume training this week. Isak can turn up, everyone necessary can talk to him, they can do whatever good and bad cop they deem necessary and he can be slowly brought back into the fold. 

 

Unless he's definitely going of course.

It could well be bollocks. The premise of my thinking is that if a player refuses outright to play, the club can sue the player for the remaining amount of the contract. Which is why players hand in transfer requests. Like Lookman just did.

That’s fair, but imo setting a clear example publicly is important to restore the club’s pride and send the right message to both current and new players. This has already been all over media and hasn’t exactly reflected well on us so handling it openly helps protect the club’s reputation. Ultimately, the club must come first, not Isak’s feelings.

It was probably as much a message to Isak as it was to the press.

[Heron]

Absolutely perfect quote. The timing, the phrasing, the fact it's public.

 

No one comes to NUFC to simply use and abuse it. What better a person to say that than the first manager to win us a domestic trophy in 70 years and the man who aided said player in becoming the player he has become.

 

Eddie fucking Howe. The King.

Nice of howe to give Heron a mention mind. 😂 

[Toon No9]

Give Eddie Howe a contract for life!

Stay here forever, Eddie!

Howe has a way with words. 
 

He knows exactly how to play things publicly, keeps the fans in check.

He never panics with his words and always has a purpose behind them. The type of thing you see from an older manager but he seems to have mastered it already.

Howe is re-establishing Newcastle's reputation as a big club and it needed to be said. It's hopefully also a message which reflects PIF's position that we aren't a feeder club for the cartel parasites.

Eddie straight to the training ground after the flight home?

 

Bloke’s a machine.

He’s meeting with Isak I suppose?
