Newcastle down to 14th after todays home defeat to Bournemouth.
Think he might be gone shortly,after all their previous season expectations.

Good replacement for Marco I reckon,  clearly carrying  too much weight on his shoulders at that dump

It's already been widely reported for a while now that the Saudis want a high profile manager for next season, this is thought to be the reason why results have tailed off.

I do believe a position at Bournemouth has just become available

I don't think he'd be an upgrade. The table doesn't lie.

Dead man walking. Decent bloke. But club too big for him.
Fulham a good fit for Howe IF Silva goes back to the olive oil business.

I'd take Eddie in a heartbeat if Silva goes. Take away someone like Isaak and put too much pressure on anyone, tough to recreate brilliance every season. We've got good players. They're just bored.

It's clearly not too big for him given he one The League Cup last year, beating Man City. The issue is they failed to adequately replace Isak, Howe is partly culpable for that as he was closely involved with the transfer process, but it's nothing to do with the job being too big for him.

I often think managers like Howe run out of ideas after two or three seasons? I rate him but think his quite far off being an elite type. International management might end up suiting him better long term. Would I take him at Fulham "Yes" but I think he would see us as a backward step now and we might be looking at him in a similar way to what some are looking at Marco now thinking as it gone stale?

I've not been a Silva out fan but if Howe would come then I'd take him in a heartbeat rather than let Silva umm and aarh any longer. I really rate Howe.

perry geyton

I'd take Frank too if eddies not available

bored is right and the motivation has disappeared.

I don't think he'd be a good replacement for Marco. In our current set up, it appears to me that we are heavily dependent on the manager as far as transfers go. The club has no director of football or institutional scouting set up. I think Marco has a big say in who we identify as targets and who we end up signing. In both instances where Howe was in charge of transfers in the past both at Bournemouth and this last summer at Newcastle it's been a disaster. I would not want Eddie Howe in charge of the clubs transfer business.

It's become clear that Eddie Howe is a mid table survivalist coach,don't see him making one iota of difference here !

But you are happy with the transfer business Marco Silva has carried out ?

There are some of us who rate mid table survivalists. All this talk about taking us up to the next level has one major flaw. We may not be capable of maintaining ourselves at the next level, especially with the financial rules as they currently stand. Mid table survival with a cup win would be heaven for me, and I would accept an early Euro exit the next season, or flirting with relegation if we progress, as a price worth paying for finally having some serious silverware. Regular top seven finishes are pie in the sky for a club of our size.
Any fool can criticise, condemn and complain, and most fools do.

A mid table survivalist coach who's qualified for the CL twice and won a trophy 12 months ago?

Wouldn't mind a bit of mid table survivalism like that myself.

Thing is, they have a bigger stadium that's sold out every week, bigger revenue streams and of course unlimited oil money...

He would definitely be on my shortlist if Newcastle sacked him and Marco left.

I'm not sure he would come here though.

Cambridge Away

My reservation is that he took a job from Saudis. But then again so did Dave Chappelle
