Saying that “He got no backing in the January transfer window “sounds as if we were the only ones.Nobody got any backing

In game management, loyalty towards players and a lack of rotation are Howe's weaknesses and he needs to sort em this season. HWTL!

What a farce and silly question to ask

While I’m sure not many want to see Howe replaced, it has to be said that some of his tactical decisions and refusal to take players out of the team at times left a sour taste in the mouth. Baffling at times and beyond frustrating.. Si Campbell will contort himself into a pretzel seeing only the positives in everything Howe has achieved.. a total and utter contrast to his views under Bruce, where anything and everything was a negative. Howe has a huge season ahead, he needs to be more proactive in games and his selections have to be better .. there can be no excuses if we are to become contenders

We over achieve with 3 or 4 quality players,issue i have with Eddie is not ruthless enough and some players he favored let him down( Trippier,Burn,Miggy,Dubravka

Doesn't help in terms of attracting quality players and inheriting a Championship team

Long time Newcastle fan in Cayman Islands,problem team has is competing in an unfair league,were not allow to spend resources they have have,Geography

Eddie may have made mistakes during last season but you learn about people in tough times and for me he came through extremely strong and achieved ahead of what may be expected with squad and issues. Not often mentioned, when we qualified for CL, it was during a season with a huge mid season break for world cup- which helped us hugely. No better manager available for Newcastle unless you get Klopp, Pep or Carlo. He also loves being our manager and is in tune with our club

If we get another manager does not say we will win some times u need luck too .

Si Campbell sums it up perfectly.Eddie is Absolutely right and I Think Owners still back him by trusting him in infrastructure that is in place he not just a head coach he’s a Manager look what he done At Bournemouth.

Think u been harsh very harsh he doing incredible job with still some average players not yet all his squad it’s all about option. He still learning and puts pressure on himself more time required and still way the right man for us rather him than plenty others. Steve ord sums it up we are way starved of success that’s the problem .

Don't get the hate towards Pardew from Ord when he's been one of our best managers in the last 20 years. Very harsh imo.

Sam is missing a very important point. I would ask him why he thinks Eddie is keeping the players? What are his reasons? If anyone thinks he’s just being a mate or not being ruthless or even just being avoidant of the bad vibe of letting players go I think they have got a very erroneous view of the senior management and how they are set up, what their goals are and what performance indicators hang over them. The club is run by grown ups now. Eddie is a very consummate pro and suggesting he suffers from favouritism is a cheap shot or an unfounded one. Yousef seems to be quoting from his A level Business Study text book. If you’ve ever had to manage a team, any team over a period of time you’ll know that the common criticism is that you didn’t change something quickly enough. This is pure hindsightism and poor perspicacity. Changing things too quickly is equally fatal. You can’t bring players back on for a start. Once you make a change it’s done. Also, making too many changes too often is disruptive. Having a plan B is essential but it has to be a ‘plan’ and not a panic move or a speculative punt.

Nice.. Wonderful..

He's still quality but if we are anywhere near mid-table or lower come Christmas and he'll be in big trouble.

Napoleon Bonaparte once said “God fortune hides the true genius of a general while adversity reveals it”. (I think he was paraphrasing Horace: 'Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it. Anyway….) This is how I see last season. You really can’t underestimate the impact of our injury crisis and the way it drained the energy out of the whole squad. Eddie did a genuinely fantastic job navigating the season on depleted resources. Anyone in the know will have recognised this.

Si makes the point about not having the time on the training pitch to introduce young players - he changed almost the full team and won away at Man U. If there was ever a realisation of how important of rotating the team it was then. So that point is another nonsense one. Lewis Hall had played 8 prem games the season before at Chelsea against the best teams in the league even playing at SJP. When you are playing a CB with an ACL and a CB playing LB getting roasted each week, shopping goals for fun - it completely voids any suggestion that a younger, far more talented player should’nt play. No matter how creative you 3 want to be with your excuses, that point is also nonsense. And playing a CB who has an ACL is far far beyond just concerning

Howe deserves the upcoming season of course but it is a big one for him. I like him, hope he does well, but I do have concerns about our injuries and his / the coaching teams responsibility for them and his ability to affect games in positive ways. He's still learning, great, let's see him fix these issues then I'll know he has learned.

Are Any English Coaches Any Good What Have They Won ..

Yousef's views that he works for us and we owe him nothing - so it works the other way around and another club can offer him more money or England come calling and he is welcome to leave.

The weirdest thing for me is that Eddie has a cult like worshiping it’s bizarre. He should be judged the same as anyone else in top level sport. He made clear mistakes last season and just reminds me of Southgate. I hope he takes the England job as he doesn’t deserve that sack but is not the man to take us forward in my opinion. Happy for people to disagree though but it doesn’t make you more of a supporter 😴

The big takeaway from me is that fans have completely lost the plot talking about Eddie Howe underachieving this season, getting 7th with the players we had available. Even with a fully fit squad I am sorry but we do not have a top 6 side. We have 5 elite players and the rest are average to good. The big 6 all have more elite players available it's not even close.

I think he has learned a lot, last season was really tough. I think this season we have to try to make that one final step and win a trophy, otherwise he could well be on his way.

I didn't hear much talk in this podcast (while I did appreciate the conversation) surrounding how this action by City might be an offensive meant to push back on the league counter to the upcoming tidal wave of a reviews/rulings pertaining to the alleged 115 FFP violations.

mcfc 36 million in debit payable s. erling bought for 51m sell price now 200m who said 500m in debt loooooool

However, City's transfer debt shot up £68m from £136m to £204m, which is their highest ever. Of this, £139m needs to be paid within the next 12 months. On the other hand, City are owed £168m by other clubs, so their net payables are only £36m.19 Nov 2023

This is the most vexing episode ever. Harry in particular does not understand the situation at all. Too many ill informed opinion points. Also If you don’t know what a word means means don’t use it. Si shut up about sport washing FFS. You sound like a Man U podcast. What is sports washing, utter bollocks.

We were told you can’t buy success by the clubs who have bought success. When we started winning trophies we were told we’ve bought success and we are cheats 😳🙄

Just to let you know MCFC are still debt free BUT the city football group are in debt but as a football club we are debt free. Please discuss facts that you have researched are know is true. This APT case city started in February and its not the whole APT they are challenging its just the amendment and the voting system. The amendment was brought in november but all clubs voted against it as they wanted the directors to take fall in the amended APT if proven. you can look it up so they went away changed it and brought it back in February when 6 clubs voted against it and 2 abstained

It's so blatantly anti competitive you can't help but think it's a conspiracy

As well as increasing revenue from associated parties, I recently found out that city also reduce their costs by employing a lot of the backroom staff in their parent company (e.g. their entire scouting/recruitment department) so as to remove them from the PSR calculations. As an example, the report I read showed that Man City (the football club, not their parent company) had half as many employees as Man Utd. Along with Chelsea selling hotels to themselves, etc, it's clearly just one big sham that a select few clubs can get away with.

European Super League incoming. Definitely. This WILL happen. Clubs will branch off to form their own league and have full control over what they can spend. And yes, I know Newcastle wouldn't have been involved in this a few years ago, but Saudi will not sit back and watch Newcastle miss out on the Super League regardless of if we aren't classed as one of the 'big 6' from England yet.

The rule is actually called "The Newcastle United Amanment Rule" which was stated by PL & it's the elitist clubs did want to lose they control & our board & owners are proper business people & understand all this & have told us we are ĥere for the long game

United 600 million in debt done for cheating no points deducted nobody talking about it 😢😢😢😢

Never get why people don't mention Chelsea's shirt sponsor Infitine Athlete? Aka literally a company they set up months prior to anoucnign the deal & is owned by the same guys...a company that literally does nothing.

FFP but more so PSR were brought in so smaller clubs (some having illustrious histories) wouldn't go under because their owners were dreadful & mismanaged or, more often, couldn't keep up with the rest ! I understand that but, the emphasis should be on SUSTAINABILITY . However, like everything, the grey suits with the power have gone too far & I have an idea how to solve this but, I think, it involves commonsense. If they allow all teams in the PL to spend up to £500m per season &, whatever they do spend they have to pay a contribution of 10% , this pot of money should not be subject to tax or PL admin fees but filtered down to all the lower league clubs ! Obviously I've just picked those figures out because that's what both Chelsea and manure have spent in the recent past , it's subjective 🎉

I've got issues with the rules. We are the only ones playing by the rules! They're called profit and sustainability, yet man u spend 3-400 million a year with a billion in debt, Chelsea sell hotels to themselves and Liverpool have sponsors that are part of a terrorist organisation. How is any of that remotely sustainable? I'm proud we are doing things the right way, but if it means we get kneecapped, stuff your pathetic rules!

city not doing this for themselves doing it for all clubs too dream

If city wins does that open the doors for Newcastle united???

It means nothing

Quite a lot of waffle here but I agree the rules are bullshit.

CARTEL CARTEL

Come on harry with that statement about Newcastle not joining the protest...i bet your one of them in the pub who has that condition Getingaroundinafobia..😂🍺

You and all the CLUBS being held back need to keep banging on about THE CARTEL .. Those gits talked most clubs to gobalong with them and they don't give a shit about those clubs.... cartel needs to be the buzz word throwout the league

City supporter here is that correct that Adam has just said that city are half a billion in debt ....iv never heard of that ...news to me ..🤔

No Newcastle fan should be supporting Man City in this matter. They have cheated and lied from day one of their take over and yes the so called top six have tried to block our take over and restrict us but in time with proper investment we can start to challenge. However not let’s support the destruction of the integrity of football just for our own gratification. We need a healthy league where smaller clubs can challenge and grow and yes PSI needs adjusted but you can’t just have a free for all.

If its all about stopping these things happening again such as leicster winni g the league what the point in watching every season

The restrictions on sponsorships are ridiculous. They are extremely anti-competitive, and i hope City win. These stupid rules are hobbling any owners ability to grow their clubs. Banning owners from putting their clubs in loads of debt, you can make a decent argument for (although the PL dont seem to care about Man United's ludicrous debts), but thats not the case with the sponsorship stuff. If Sela want to sponsor us £300m a season, who cares as long as its not a bloody loan, as long as its not debt. Its the only way any team has a realistic chance of clawing back some ground on Liverpool and Man Ure etc.

13:35 What is he waffling. What debt do City have
