So, lets flip that on it's head, for fun. 

 

Howe takes the England job, are there many jobs in football under greater scrutiny, greater pressure than managing some of the most overhyped players on the planet, to the satisfaction of a bloodthirsty media and a rabidly expectant fanbase? 4-8yrs of trying and failing to achieve the unlikely success of European or World Cup victories. After that failure his stock will have fallen because of constant criticism from the press and fans, and his career at 50-54yrs old is over. 

 

Versus doing well at Newcastle (even without winning a trophy) he could move to any number of jobs in the Premier League or abroad.

Why are you getting involved in a discussion with el thicko?

It’s absolutely the case that Howe will consider it really seriously. For the exact reasons Polarboy mentions. He might decide not to. But I honestly think I’d take it in his position. Even if he’s a failure, the things he’s done here and at Bournemouth had proved his credentials as an excellent club manager so he’ll always have that to fall back on. He’s got a great opportunity here, but we’re kidding ourselves if we think the chance (and it’s a real chance with this group of players) to win the World Cup with England isn’t a bigger draw for just about any manager

Not sure I agree with this part mate. The best managers in the world aren’t international managers anymore, they want to work at club level.

Aye, fair point. I still think it would be massively tempting given the players at his disposal and that it might never come along again. Plus, his not being in that ‘elite’ category of managers. Yet, anyway. But he might never be. I guess we don’t know quite how uncertain things are behind the scenes at NUFC either. Anyway, I really hope I’m wrong and someone else gets the role

The FA were supposedly quoted as saying they had a succession plan in mind - that suggests Carsley (or maybe Potter) to me. Hopefully anyway. 

Apart from for selfish reasons I would like them to at least try that model, ie Carsley. What’s the point in putting that into system into place if you don’t at least then give it a go?

Feels like a bit of malaise running through the club at the minute. I’m sure £75m for Mark Guehi will sort that out. 


Only two of that starting 11 today were signed in the last 18 months, it does feel like things have gone a bit stale.

I've seen a few snippets now from Howe now saying that he's not in 'control' of the Transfers and that's with Mitchell.  Did he say similar with Mandy?

Yeah, I think so. He always said he was a step removed etc.

I read that as he wasn’t involved in doing the deals, but pretty certain he’s involved in the player targeting/selection.

He said that in his presser this week. He’s part of the selection committee but in terms of negotiating the deals etc that’s all Mitchell

A Graeme Jones 10 game losing streak followed by a drawn out process to replace him with someone with pedigree only to give it to Michael Carrick in January.

 

Fucking Saudi Mike Ashleys this lot.

 

In reality, we'll probably go for Bournemouth's manager, and try and poach Semenyo...Or it's all bullshit and Howe stays and we try to poach Semenyo anyway.

Iraola will maybe want a club with a higher PSR ceiling than NUFC next on his CV :cuppa: 

 

But I think you’re right…If there is going to be a change there won’t be a change in profile ie young, ambitious, on the way up… so not a lot will change…
