Newcastle United are 9th in the Premier League standings and questions are being asked about Eddie Howe’s long term future at the club.
The Magpies have backed the manager with funding and they expect the team to be in a much better position than they are right now.
Howe’s team has struggled with consistency throughout the season and although he guided the club to Carabao Cup success last year, he was expected to make progress this season but it has not been the case.
Former Premier League star Stan Collymore has claimed that Jose Mourinho would like to take the Newcastle United job if Howe is sacked.
Newcastle United tipped to part ways with Howe
The managerial changes in the Premier League are in full swing with Chelsea and Manchester United both appointing new managers and it both Liverpool and Tottenham could look for a new man in charge as well.
Collymore has tipped Mourinho for the Newcastle United job and warnd Howe that his future at St. James’ Park could be in trouble.
He wrote on X:
“I like to pull Geordies leg about Mourinho possibly twerking for the job and you only have to hear his last Benfica presser to know he’s putting himself out there again.
“Don’t underestimate Mendes, Mourinho, Saudi link.
“As for Eddie, super coach, learned from his ( defensive) achilles heel at Bournemouth and you’re League Cup winners and CL, not to be underestimated.
“But big signings haven’t lit the place up and one or two who’ve been superb last 2 seasons have plateaued.
“Don’t think it’s panic stations but will be interesting if you finish outside of any Europe this season.
“Think owners would look at it then.
“Another Cup win ( possible) though and he’s doing his Job! Fine margins.
“I’m a reluctant ( thought his Bournemouth teams were incredibly naive, like Angeball lite) fan so hope he’s given time.”
Should the Magpies look for another manager?
So far, the Newcastle owners have shown complete faith in Howe and his plan to take the club forward.
The English manager has maintained the club’s competitiveness even in difficult times.
The fact that he has delivered a trophy for them and ended their drought is something that is highly valued by the owners.
However, we have seen with other managers elsewhere that winning a trophy could still not be enough if the manager is not working according to the plan of the owners.
Getting a manager like Mourinho would be a massive statement from the Magpies but is he the right man for the job now? That question remains unanswered.
Newcastle United threatening to hijack move for top Tottenham transfer target
NUFC have got to look for a new manager E H simply has lost every thing he has worked for at NUFC the money he spend in the summer on the team was a was a total waste players are second rated not 1 player shoots outside the box same style of playing the whole prem have it worked out whats going to happen who,s coming off and who,s coming on the way we attack simply need a new manager
no no no Eddie is still the man losing a player like Isak, where we played to his strengths ( not something Liverpool are capable of doing clearly) is a massive void to fill, so you have to play differently and that takes time, with Wissa out for so long he is now playing catch up. if we can do well and get in Europe this season perhaps make a cup final I would view that as success, we invest and push on next season
Utter rubbish from Collywobble stan Eddie has done what no one else could, win us a Cup champions league, cup runs he is a young English manager and pundits start tipping washed up foreign managers leave Eddie where he is he is our future
In Eddie we trust
