Jose Mourinho decision will add to the pressure on Eddie Howe

Posted by

Newcastle United have had a difficult season so far and they are going through a rough patch.

Naturally, Eddie Howe has been under a lot of pressure and his long-term future at the club has been a constant topic of speculation. Former Premier League manager Jose Mourinho has been linked with the Newcastle job in recent weeks and his exit from Roma has now fuelled further speculations.

Mourinho has left the Italian club with immediate effect and that has put Howe under extra pressure. It will be interesting to see if he can hold onto his job in the coming weeks.

Newcastle spent a substantial amount of money at the start of the season and they would have expected to push for Champions League qualification and to do well in the domestic trophies.

It has been a difficult campaign for Newcastle and they have had some persistent injury problems. If things do not improve quickly, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they decided to make a managerial change.

Jose Mourinho is a proven winner across multiple leagues, and he could prove to be an attractive option for the Newcastle hierarchy.

  1. getting rid of Eddie Howe and replacing him with Jose Mourinho, no matter how good good a manager he is , will be a mistake. Ok we have had a bad season compered to the last couple but thats not Howes fault just look at the injuries we have had and we are governed by FFP rules which means we cannot strengthen the team how we would like with the players that we want. We have come so far in such a short space of time in my opinion too quickly . Too much has been built are they really going to throw it all away now just because we are having a tough season. Getting rid of Eddie Howe means we will be starting again from scratch. Put this season down as a learning curve and come back stronger a better next season. Losing Howe now will be monumental mistake give him more time to build, we all want success but it needs time to build to that lets just give Howe that time and see what comes.

  2. As a makem I feel it is a duty to hate Howe……. but he only picks the team,,,, and despite the injuries there are a few Scum Players who should be dropped for their attitude,,,,, You know the Balm Pots that writhe in agony when the ball is taken away from them…Then hack the nearest opponent and complain if they get booked or more likely get away with it Cos they are the Oil Slicks…. Nice Knowing you Howie,,,,.

  3. Please keep Eddie Howe he is a gentleman and as hit a bad patch don’t kick a man while he is down . In my opinion Jose Mouriniho is not the man for Newcastle United throws his dummy out of the cot wen he doesn’t get his own way

  4. Eddie Howe is the best manager for Newcastle United the only way Newcastle will stay in the premier league if he stays as manager if you bring in Jose Mourinho they will not be as good and will suffer the only way is to buy players Newcastle need another 40 players at least 3 player per position so if we have injuries we can have enough players to be in the position for champions league so in my opinion Eddie Howe in the manager we need to keep.

  5. Being a boro fan and the fact that Boro are the only North east club to have won a trophy this century putscitcall in perspective,for me Howe did a great job for Bournemouth, but out of his depth at sid James Park, is it 70 years since you won a recognised trophy?the eufa un recognised fairs Cup is like boro winning the Anglo Scottish cup( both mickey mouse trophies)yes the fairs cup was in Europe but wasn’t it only Newcastle, Rangers,Leeds and Birmingham invited as they where the only cities holding European fairs in the UK at that time ,so no wonder its not recognised as a European trophy [Eufa quote]

    I hate to say it but to spend that Arab blood money you need a big name,and there’s none bigger than mourinho

  6. Jose Mourinho if appointed Newcastle United manager at this time, he can help the side to finish in the top 6 of the premier league.
