He will keep his job until summer or close to it and get sacked and mourinho will be in in the summer his contract up with Roma then.

How good is Eddie Howe?
- Thread starter Skills
- Start date
Will probably be good timing for all parties if the England job comes up in late summer. Howe will walk that interview process given what he's achieved in last decade.
Yeah can't see him continuing beyond this season at the most.
Wouldn't be overly surprised if he's gone in Feb though.
Like others have mentioned, he's going to be a victim of his own success. I think it was a massive achievement what they did last season and there was always going to be some drop off given they were competing in not only europe for the first time but the CL (in recent history). They've been hit by a massive spate of injuries which mean they haven't been able to rotate the squad and with the intensity they play at it was always going to be difficult to manage.
Also they are in the same situation as us, in terms of who do you appoint next? There isn't many top managers available on the market at the moment and they would have to take a slight risk in appointing one and banking that he can take them further than Howe. The wrong appointment and it could set the club back years.

As it should be. He's a high quality manager and has a long track record of improving players and getting a lot out of his team. He did very well at Newcastle last season and what he did at Bournemouth moving up the divisions with a properly tiny club was remarkable. It's all gone wrong this season with the Champions League to worry about but managers get sacked stupidly quickly in modern football compared to other sports.
If you gave him time to review what he's doing and get some players back I'm sure he'd eventually find a formula to turn it around and set up for a better season next term but it probably won't happen.
A number of these clubs with high intensity game plans have players dropping like flies.
A more patient and considered way of playing is necessary to maintain the players' availability and fitness when regular midweek football comes into play.
Yep I agree, I think it's also a consequence of last season and the world cup. Plus players training too much in the off-season and the pre season tours.
It's hard to suddenly revert to a different style of play or change from week to week if that's what you're accustomed to playing. Teams like City can manage it due to the depth/quality of their squad and also they have 60%+ possession every game.
He's an absolute twat and I'm delighted it's all going tits up.
Man City and Villa next in the league. Even the FA Cup game away to Sunderland won't be easy. 3 more losses would not be a surprise.
Like Ten Hag I feel he over performed, but just in a bigger scale. And now he's being mugged off which just makes me laugh at how knee jerk some football followers are.
I think this might be the end of him. Not literally, of course. Maybe.
Hahahaha losing every game
He must be very close to the sack now after yet another defeat tonight.
He's bad.
Surprised he is still hanging on, cause even after last season I thought they'll turn this guy out the second things go south. To their credit he's somehow hung on since December.
He's a feckin shithouse mate
Off with his head.
He's excellent, they've had a dip in form for whatever reason. But his overall time at Newcastle, he's been excellent. Think for whatever reason people just don't like him, and have been patiently waiting to dig their claws in.
I reckon they give him until the end of the season and bin him. He'll probably fall straight into the England job after the Euros.
He's a good mid table boss
He’s as good as the money he’s allowed to spend on the Newcastle spreadsheet
Spent nearly £100 million net last summer and are on course to finish with 17 fewer points than last season.
Howe good? No.
He's gonna get binned this summer. Just hope he's not headed to United if the club axe ETH.
Wouldn’t think so with Ashworth pending. I believe Howe is one of the reasons he decided to look at the United job.
He will get replaced by Potter at the end of the season. Would actually be an excellent move for Newcastle. Potter is a better version of Howe.
Keep them both away from United.
Keep them both away from United.
Only a matter of time before he gets a special ‘invite’ from the Saudi embassy.
An absolute cock and an average manager.
Howe like ETH doesn't have the capability to pull a rabbit out of hat (like Klopp or Pep)
They will do well if they have the full squad available. They are equally decimated with injuries . Pretty much the same fate as ours.
Pope
Trippier, Schar,Botman,Livramento
Bruno - Tonali - Joelington
Gordon - Wilson-Isak
first team is not bad actually.

How did Klopp do when Liverpool had Van Dijk and Salah out for a bit, or with Fabinho getting on etc. Better than Howe, but not a whole lot better?
We will never find out how Pep will do with a normal-ish depleted squad for much of a season. He’s never tried it and never will.
Yeah, he's overall done a very good job. They have a clear way of playing that annoys good teams and seems to work okay against weaker sides.
I think they're just suffering from too many injuries and Almiron turning back into himself (a good all-around player who needs to score at least twice as many goals to be a starting option at this level, sort of what I expect from Pellistri in 2-3 years, really) .
Where are the newcastle newbies?
More worrisome is the fact that Newcastle will also be looking for a manager this summer and hence we’ll have greater competition.
Nobody joins Newcastle over us.
That’s true. The only way they get someone better than us if we go for a worse / less suitable manager.
Funny how Newcastle’s defence suddenly turned to shite.
It’s almost as if lack of confidence had an impact on players’ ability

He had a good 18 months after being appointed at Newcastle but his managerial career to date suggests he's not excellent. Generally he's fine. He's not good enough for Newcastle's ambitions and the longer he's there, the funnier it will get.
He did an excellent job there during his first 18 months. I actually thought he might not end up being their placeholder manager (Mark Hughes at City) at one point. But it's just gone too badly since around December. 15 losses in all competitions. We've somehow lost even more. 16 defeats.
Injuries have played a part. But, like ten Hag, Howe's training methods need to be questioned. It's obviously contributing to their injury list.
It's been a funny season for them. Some big results and scalps, such as:
Newcastle 5-1 Aston Villa
Sheffield Utd 0-8 Newcastle
Newcastle 1-0 Arsenal
Newcastle 4-1 Chelsea
Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd
Aston Villa 3-1 Newcastle
Newcastle 3-0 Wolves
Newcastle 1-0 Man City
Man Utd 0-3 Newcastle
Sunderland 0-3 Newcastle
Milan 0-0 Newcastle
Newcastle 4-1 PSG
PSG 1-1 Newcastle
He deserves credit for massively improving players like Schar, Longstaff, Joelinton, Almiron, Murphy. He's brought through Miley also. And he's generally gotten the best out of their big money signings. Bruno Guimaraes, Gordon and Isak have all lived up to expectations.
They might give him one more season. They're a lot more patient than Chelsea and City were when they started their projects. They're conscious of FFP and public opinion.
