Eddie Howe Exclusive: What's Next For Newcastle United?

We're delighted to be joined by Newcastle United Manager Eddie Howe 🙌
What do you think of the conversation? Let us know in the comments! 🙏
We really hope you enjoy this episode and get as much value as we did 👊
Eddie Howe is a professional football manager and former player; he is the former manager of Bournemouth FC and currently the head coach of Newcastle United.
Obsession is a key theme in this episode - should it be strived for or is it always damaging?
Jake and Damian explore Eddie’s management style as he explains that he leads with a philosophy of focusing deeply on the individual.
Eddie shares how although he is deeply understanding of his players, he does not treat himself with the same empathy.
Having high personal standards, and being kinder towards others than to yourself, is something we commonly hear from high performers.
When watching, ask yourself:
If you make a mistake, do you talk to yourself the way you’d speak to someone else? Think about why you use different language to talk to others.
Make a deliberate point of stopping when you are being unkind to yourself. Reflect on if you would talk to others in the same way and then revisit the conversation with yourself. How often do you do this in a week?
We hope you enjoy this episode and let us know your thoughts in the comments 🙏

Eddie is the manager we've been screaming for since Sir Bobby Robson. So happy and proud that he's our manager 🖤🤍

[@ckm5217]

Yup, so much confidence in him even if we loose 6 on the trot. I wouldn’t want any other manager. He almost makes the klopps peps and contes look like iconic children 😕 Not sure if that’s a compliment. I love the league, just proud of our manager. “Sir Eddie Howe” in years to come.

We miss him so much but so so glad he’s showing everyone on a bigger stage what a fantastic manager he is, hardworking, detail orientated, obsessive, caring and driven to be better always. That’s what we had at Bournemouth, he’s now an even better version of that and the recent results, togetherness and ultimately the table position just shows with NUFC 🍒

My first ever live match was watching Bournemouth v Walsall in the mid 90's when Eddie played. Would have been crazy to think he'd end up managing the club I support, but so glad that's the case. He comes across as a very humble, reflective and introspective guy, but one who will work as hard as possible to improve his players and therefore the team. Over the moon we have him.

[@bspark119]

Watched Minus17 earlier and you can instantly see from that he has a unique internal wisdom and inspiration to get the best out of a situation. It all makes sense, from how he navigated our flirtation with relegation (I.e. by signing characters like Trippier and Burn) to other acquisitions, off-the-field morale boosting activities etc. I really hope he’a the foundation on which our club develops for many a decade to come, much like Man United with Alex Ferguson.

[@andykent]

I could listen to him talk all day. What a first class example of professionalism and the way he’s turned a sad ending at Bournemouth to what’s hopefully going to be a huge success story at Newcastle is humbling to hear. One of the things that stands out most to me is how connected he feels with those asking him questions every week. He’s mentioned on more than a few occasions that even the media teams at Newcastle are part of the club and the huge pushes forward we’re making. He’s not just a phenomenal coach and a great tactician, he’s a manager of personalities in the mould of Sir Bobby and the dedication to the job, the responsibilities he takes on and his attitude towards everyone connected with the team and the club is exemplary. Every week when he’s asked about some amazing individual performances, after giving well deserved praise to those in question, he talks about everyone else. No one is left out. Constantly reminding the boys that stand out players couldn’t be who they are or do the things they do without being surrounded by the support of fantastic teammates. We’ve waited so long to have a man like him at the helm ⚫️⚪️⚫️

Eddie howe embraced Newcastle when we were at our lowest, achieved something no other manager has done in survival when not winning in the first 14 games, because of that us Newcastle supporters wont ever forget that no matter what happens in the future. All we ask is he makes each day his masterpiece and in return no fans anywhere will support him, cheer him and shout his name louder than us. If he were to read this comment I would ask him to pay little attention to what the media says we expect, they have always said we are too demanding when in reality all we ask is for a team that tries to win, we have never demanded a club that does. We are Eddie's black and white army.

[@dannufc1234]

I’m only 1.45 mins in and already head over heels for the bloke😂 everything he says and everything he has done has been the best thing to happen to Newcastle this century and it’s fantastic to see how open he is buzzing to see him on the pod!

[@cannyscott]

Im 25 mins in and absolutely loving it

[@steveholmshaw8702]

We got so lucky getting this guy! Let's be honest, most of us were underwhelmed with his appointment but my god I wouldn't swap him for anyone else right now. He's fucking class man ❤

[@shealey9763]

This man was the club's most important signing. What he's done in the last two seasons is incredible.

[@theexcrim]

I litreally thought this in my head 10mins ago lol. Eddie is a gem, so smart, polite, professional and driven. He has be one of the best managers in the world

[@shtflicker2734]

Fascinating interview, such excellent questions and answers. A manager without an ego. Newcastle fans are very lucky and have waited long enough for such a talent. Good luck to him I hope he has many successful years at Newcastle.

[@sama2086]

Such a brilliant guy. I hope that when the difficult runs come (which they will, we won't keep endlessly winning forever 🤣) we all get behind and stick with him. He cares, he's got man management nailed down and he's very strong tactically. I really hope 5 years from now he's still our manager because with time and investment I really believe he can take us to the very top.

[@SilverbackMattG]

I think when we do lose the game will be close - I think gone are the days where we get trounced 3 or 4-0 I can appreciate a good game of football if we’ve given a good account of ourselves

[@peternufc1981]

Really got me when he says he misses out on his kids because he devoted to training this team. Eddie us Geordies ow you a debt of gratitude. Thank you your a winner and it’s shining through to the group of lads that your training and I respect you for that . Eddie Howe you are the man 👍🏻

[@tomashehir]

I remember a few years back I was watching some training sessions on Bournemouths youtube channel (I think because Arsenal were linked with Eddie), and I'll never forget the intensity of them and how demanding it looked. Looked enjoyable too.

[@MrDonnelly1111]

Newcastle have a great manger here in Eddie hope he does achieve something in Newcastle they definitely deserve a good break

[@iBunZz360]

So proud to have him as our manager 🖤🤍

[@jameseverall]

He's got such a refreshing approach to top flight management. He's aware of his flaws, and happily seeks help to improve upon them. Doesn't seem to have any negative ego (and you DO need and ego to succeed at the highest level of pretty much anything). Absolute props to the bloke

[@FUJISAN2012]

What a true gent and professionally focused man. He has transformed Newcastle! Good luck Eddie.

[@chading89]

What an incredible interview, I don't think I've enjoyed any interview with a football manager as much as this. His level of desire and his relentless pursuit of improvement after Bournemouth is exceptional and why I feel managers like Gerrard, lampard and other high level players will struggle at the top of the game in management, because it clearly just isn't a job or a role to someone like Howe, regardless of who the greats have worked under or how good they may be, it's been proven over decades it's the small details and his mission to conquer this is very impressive

[@kevd3046]

as a Newcastle fan its been eddie thats impressed me more than any player or performance from watching his press conferences before and after games and can see why the players believe in him..We are lucky to have him on his return to the game..this is just the beginning of wonderful journey with him.

[@HighPerformancePodcast]

We Are Glad You Liked It :D

[@elixirix]

c'mon. Bruno though!

[@unholyxeras8182]

@@elixirix Bruno is amazing, but he's right. More than anything else, Eddie is the key. If we could only keep one thing we've gained from the last year, I'd give up all the new signings (even the outstanding Bruno) and all the money, and everything else, as long as we got to keep Eddie Howe. The most outsanding thing about him is that hes not only open to learning and improving, put passionate about it, and as a very young manager hes got a lot of time to continue to improve. Could very well end his managerial career going down in history as the best manager the game has ever had

[@elixirix]

@@unholyxeras8182 yeah ok, but B R U N O!!!

[@SilverbackMattG]

@kev D agree mate I actually take time out every week now just listen to his press conferences I’ve never done that as a Newcastle fan since Bobby was in the job

[@mojoshojos6931]

Subscribed !! I don’t watch podcasts but Eddie Howe can’t get enough of His bought me closer to my team since sir Bobby rip legend Jake from all toon fans thanks for a amazing podcast

[@mikehunt6195]

Just proves you don’t have to be from the area to get the club, heck we had a local lad as manager and he was so out of touch with the fans and what we wanted. Having a manager you know 100% is doing the most he can possibly do to get the most out his team day in day out is enough. ❤

[@micklowrey1522]

Bruce’s problem is he’s got the thinnest skin going + the game has passed him by + he absolutely will not accept responsibility for how bad his teams can be + his addiction to Monster Munch

[@stevehughes6276]

Brilliant conversation with a clearly cerebral and special person and coach with a drive to be the best version of himself for those around him and his players - his words, humility and the way he carries himself remind me of the qualities which we associate with the Great Sir Bobby Robson. Wishing Eddie Howe the very best in the next stage of his managerial career and hopefully one day leading the England National side when he has successfully achieved all the honours at home and at European level that the Club game provides. First class work and research by the High Performance Team

[@browny00245]

I love him so much, such a good guy! And i mean that with all my heart.

[@ZingyLemonade]

I spoke to Eddie recently when I bumped into him when I was on a run. He was very pleasant and gracious to me. One thing which stuck out in one of his recent press conferences was about how he looked back on last season and is happy for that experience but at the time he wasn't exactly enjoying himself as it was a high pressure situation. This struck a chord with me as I have ran some of the toughest fell races and at the time I have felt that it was a hard slog and 'one to enjoy afterwards' but now, years later I wish I had enjoyed the moment more. So my message to Eddie would be 'Don't be the man who sits back as an older guy and realise that you did not enjoy your best memories when they were actually occurring'. I might tell him when I see him next as he lives down the street.

[@andrew148]

Between Howe, Ashworth and Eales, Newcastle have absolutely nailed the backroom appointments. They truly are building the foundations of a club which could go on to achieve great things. Above all else, Eddie exudes integrity and you can see why and how the players have bought into his philosophy so completely. A very impressive guy, let alone football manager.

[@owenrichardson1419]

As a Geordie who has followed Newcastle for more than 50+ years. I could not be prouder of this man and the team.

[@MyBorderlinePersonality]

So glad I watched this. Knew a little bit about him but had no idea he was this knowledgeable. What a great guy too , Good luck with Newcastle. YNWA

[@neildonaldsonlotusexcelresto]

He comes across as a fascinating and humble man. I can see now why he is so highly rated.

[@billyferaldy]

So many wrote him off when he first appointed as Newcastle manager. Now Newcastle are flying under him, I'd say 2 years ahead of time. Respect to him. Underrated manager. Great podcast btw. Mikel Arteta up next on the pod

[@tonybull4314]

What a man. I was overjoyed when he got our job. I hope he’s here for a very long time through thick & thin. Who could not be inspired listening to him talk.

[@matthewdoyle3877]

only if he is winning

[@damo1975]

I wish I had his mindset my mental health could do with a chat with Mr howe. What a man

[@jonnyrobb6003]

Absolutely fantastic watch! So proud that he's our manager,by far the closest person we've had to a manager since Sir Bobby! In Eddie we trust! ⚫⚪

[@JB-ml4nj]

Eddie Howe has proven himself to be a world class manager since taking over at Newcastle. He isn’t found wanting in any areas of his management of the club or coaching. The fact that he saw potential in the existing team (when other top managers didn’t) shows he’s at the top of his game. Howe will be integral to producing the next generation of world class players and his methodology and style could set a new trend in the game. The intelligence and work ethic he brings is not just great for Newcastle but for English football in general. It will be a great moment for the game when Eddie lifts a major trophy.

[@marcusclark5330]

he's done a good job...may become world class, but not yet....are you a newcastle fan by any chance...and next generation of world class players, which world class players has he coached...Guimaraes and St Maximin 4 times a season when he isnt injured? St Maximin a poor mans Asprilla

[@sephiroth4543]

World class is a bit strong, you need to chill out with these silly takes. Let him achieve something and it ain't difficult to do well once you have a wealthy oil country's money behind you

[@TWI2T3D]

What a great interview. He's such an excellent professional who really understands the importance of understanding people on an emotional level in order to produce the best for them and your team. This also gives me confidence that we won't lose him to the England job because I don't feel that sort of setup would afford him the required time with the team working together to generate the positivity and productivity that he does with a regular team.

[@CookingWithPete2022]

The more I hear from Eddie the more I fall in love with him, what a fella

[@SteveBB8]

Loved this! Eddie is a top coach and his year out for self development, visiting other sports teams and organising his reference points, shows a developing coach/manager that wants the best for the people around him 😊👍

[@stephenrobinson8581]

This guy has completely changed our whole philosophy and mind set there's only 2 other managers in my life time that have done that, he could go on to eclipse them 2 and I hope he does

[@badofcheese]

I wish Sir Bobby was around to see what he’s doing/will do to the club. He’d absolutely love him.

[@SilverbackMattG]

Keegan / Bobby / Howe Can’t see him not writing his name into our history books in the same way Paisley and Shankley have done at Liverpool and Busby and Ferguson done at Man Utd I can just imagine the scenes of Newcastle win a cup this season It’s definitely not beyond us

[@micklowrey1522]

He’s got something about him hasn’t he? I don’t put anybody up with Keegan and what he did for nufc... but Howe can get there

[@jono8094]

I'm not gonna lie, I was in the same boat with a lot of other Newcastle fans when Eddie was announced. The appointment just didn't seem exciting for where I had visions of Newcastle going. However, I'm so happy to say how wrong I was. I wouldn't swap him for anyone in world football. I really hope he's Newcastle's Alex Ferguson ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️
