From a West Ham fan, you guys don’t know how good you’ve got it up on Tyneside with Eddie at the helm. Back him, and continue to do so even through tougher times, he’s taking you places. Do not treat him like our fans treated Moyes. I’d love to have Howe at my club, you are very lucky.

[@F--B]

I have no idea what you're basing this in, other than that he can answer questions in a composed manner. He has no experience at the top level of football. As for WHU, you were right to sack Moyes, he was taking you absolutely nowhere and more or less turned you into an ongoing joke. If you want Howe, you're welcome - but presumably your ambitions are different from ours.

I honestly believe Eddie Howe can be Newcastle’s version of Sir Alex. He’s a top coach, young, very personable. He just needs the correct backing and for us Geordies to stop being so temperamental when we lose a few games.

[@dennisnielsen4289]

I think the problem is, that he has improved us too fast, so people are way ahead in their expectations, myself included sometimes being dragged into that feeling for short periods of time, when we lose, because I'm so frustrated that Eddie is not rewarded already for his obvious hard work with the mixed material he has at his disposal. Great guy, and hope he stays for years, he keeps learning.

[@Toonlad99]

@@juliogeordio7358 Do you follow football? Changing a manager rarely has an impact, you may get a bounce for a few games but it will settle back to the mean. Plus this would cripple the club financially, a new manager will want his own players, we can't afford new players or not in the scale to reshape the squad. Just think logically and support the team, its not like we were thumped today. First half we could have scored 4 or 5, individual errors cost us and why would changing the manager have any effect on that?

Changing a manager is rarely a simple solution and even more rarely a quick one. Unless we have a serious downward trajectory then regardless of who is in the chair it’s pointless to be taking about change mid season
