I don't think he should be, but was surprised I could back him @32 for next sacking after the Tottenham beating
I was thinking the owners will expect each season to be better than the previous one, and this seems unlikely now.

The owners came across as quite realistic about the long term vision in the documentary...
can't really blame Eddie with all the injuries that have restricted them to this point of the season.. that's not to say he gets a completely free pass this year but with no European games and plenty of players to come back they have a chance for a very decent PL run in the new year plus potential in the cups... |

Howe has done great but it will be interesting to see how the fans react once they realise Bruno will be moving on.
The major issue for Howe long term is getting the attack clicking. At the moment their attack is workmanlike and effective to an extent. An easy upgrade is to bin Almiron and get a right attacker who can use both feet. I'm not sure about Isak as a 9. He has terrible assist stats for a player who seems technically very good. The emergence of Miley and return next season of Tonali should see the end of Joelinton as a first teamer. I don't expect him to be sacked but I do think he is closer to the sack than the fans maybe realise. |

MBS didn't buy Newcastle to go out in the group stages of the Champions League.
The off-book deals are being done now for next season and a new manager will be one of those signings. |

It was painful watching him (Almiron) tonight. He had the defender one on one with loads of space at the byline at one point and choose yet again to turn back in and lay it off. Cannot remember him once getting to the by line and trying to make a cross etc.. Has absolutely zero ability with his right foot to pass or run with the ball. Howe seems infatuated with his work rate but Grealish has him right. Total headless chicken most of the time. |

Eddie Howe is a good coach.
Where he has taken Newcastle to is incredible. The problem with teams that over perform with fans that think they are top clubs the only way is down. |

See this is where that nasty thing called realism kicks in. Howe has had plenty of backing and money to spend. Hes done brilliant getting them into the Champions League but they are majority owned by the wealthiest owners in world football. As SirNorbert has said, more is now expected and Howe will have to produce or be shown the door. Its staggering reading Newcastle forums tonight claiming Bruno had a good game. Even Livescore are calling him (and Almiron) out as poor tonight and losing the ball/ being out of position far too often. Interesting stat about Almiron....right winger and he has 6 PL assists in 160 games...... |

Sweet baby Jesus. Utterly Atrocious. This guy is years in Newcastle, played in the US and still won't do English interviews btw. |

Possibly but nothing yet to suggest the owners are as cut throat (
 ) as eg Abramovich. They could be playing the longer game looking to establish themselves as part of a top 6/7 so that they are in the mix for any breakaway league. They certainly aren't spending the way Roman and the City owners did when they wanted trophies at all costs. Arsenal and Chelsea have comfortably outspent them. Just as likely they will back him with more cash than get rid imo. He has done very well and surely built up some trust. It was a horrible group to get out of esp for a team so inexperienced in europe. |
|
By:
Newcastle fans more worried he gets poached by England.
Different perspective on things I suppose |
|
By:
there's zero chance they'd sack him, these people are not daft and they're not Abramovic types who'll sack a manager every other season, they'll know when the time is right if that comes and it's not now, they've had loads of injuries as well.

Felt for Newcastle last night,when Milan equalised the writing was on the wall..
Its who Howe can attract in the transfer market that will ultimately decide his fate in the long term... |
|
By:
The owners didn't buy Newcastle and expect Howe to still be their manager 2 years later, until now though he has made it impossible for them to get rid, once he has gone you will see a high profile coach in there, the owners will have everything crossed hoping this bad run continues for a little while longer so they can act.

Doubt they'd sack him.1st time in the Chmpns Lge for ages.
Thought he signed a new deal a while back aswell.Geordies will know more. |

When Bruce got sacked there was loads of chat before
When Emery was approached there was loads of chat before When Howe was approached there was loads of chat before Sort of expect if Howe is in trouble their will be chat. Of course there could be deals in place, but remarkably quiet from local press and usual itks |

Eddie Howe was given the job because at the time they were fighting relegation and one of the sexy A listers wouldn't have risked taking the job at that point, as soon as Howe is sacked you will see one of the usual suspects in there.
These owners are all about being noticed, that's what this whole business is all about for them, by definition you need someone at the top who people know and outside England no-one has ever heard of Eddie Howe. |

man city had premier league winning managers they got rid of. 2nd is no good to Saudi. Exactly. Today Newcastle fans display their small club mentality by reveling in getting knocked out of the Champions League in the group stages. Once the Saudis have coughed but a few billion to take on City & Real Madrid not getting to the semis will guarantee the Newcastle manager the boot. |

IMHO He will get one season without CL football.

They're overachieving currently. Playing twice a week and they've got a 17 year old playing every game in midfield. The other week they had 3 keepers on the bench.
Remember how they were going to buy the league. Perhaps Eddie Howe should start making noises about leaving due to lack of ambition of the board |

That's not how oil states operate. To get world class talent to Newcastle palms will need to be greased in the Middle east. How do you think City got Aguero to stay in Manchester!!! Next season Newcastle will have a big star signing or two with some good workhorse players to support them I wouldn't put money on Howe being there though. |

FFP can be bent. Have a clear out of homegrown talent. Maybe sell them to Saudi sides for good money

so we sighed on eddie knowing he was hopeless and wouldnt win us anything and was just a short term appointment.is that what yous are saying?
so why appoint someone who was no good and couldnt do anything for us when we were bottom of the league with no wins in 14? give your heads a shake man ffs. |

Howe was signed to save Newcastle from relegation. He knew the league so that wasn't too hard a job. He wasn't signed to help attract big stars to the club or win the Champions League. That is MBS' ambition, |
|
By:
and you know that how?
|
|
By:
Take a look at what happened at Manchester City with the constant up grading of managers. Very difficult to win the Champions League if all you know is the Premier League.
And MBS will not settle for anything less than matching and beating Abu Dhabi. |

Howe imho is a top grade coach. Theres plenty more at the club who deserve flack before he does but I fear for his position given the upcoming fixtures.
Ashworth deserves questioning. The transfer window last summer was a total disaster. For a club in Newcastles position, at a total minimum 2 players should be brought in each window who should be first teamers. Last season it was 1 in Tonali now banned long term and the rest were subs or long term prospects. They were crying out a right winger. I get the waft of bluffer off Ashworth. An FA head who got plaudits for his time at Brighton despite the fact Tony Bloom runs everything at that club recruitment wise. |

Howe Is a brilliant coach.
He took Bournemouth from 92nd place to the Prem Lge and kept them there. See if Pep or Klopp could do the same thing with a club that was Skint. Put either of them in charge of Colchester United an see where they are i 6 seasons time. Newcastle are lucky to have him, its the Geography of the club which doesn't attract the top players, Unless they are mercenaries who only go for the money. They would be well versed in keeping him IMO |
