[@declanflannery7377]

For the record, no long term Newcastle fans are putting any pressure on Howe whatsoever, we all understand the situation and he's pretty much universally backed and beloved about the Toon. All this bollocks is coming from A. gloryhounds who only started supporting the club post-takeover and don't even know what a stottie is, and B. rival fans.

[@guyjackson1261]

Yep, mostly. I am delighted with Howe.

[@donovanbright3942]

People need to realize that social media is not the general consensus whatsoever. If you actually go out and, I don’t know, TALK to real people, you’ll realize that the large majority of Newcastle fans are not this entitled at all.

[@TFB3BibsyG]

I would say Howe's job is not under immediate pressure. Howe-ever, he might be the manager to get the ship on the right course, but not "captain" us to the promised land/destination. Another element that helps Howe's job security is the lack of quality managers as well. Replacing Howe with a manager of similar quality makes no sense, Howe seems to be a 7/10, a solid manager that can develop some talent, but likely will struggle to lift the big trophies which Newcastle should be seeking at this point.

[@guyjackson1261]

@@TFB3BibsyG 7/10 and unlikely to get us trophies? I think he has earned more faith than that.

[@TFB3BibsyG]

​@@guyjackson1261 not really. Although Howe has lifted us up from the mud, he's had the team available to beat Dortmund, Milan at home when we had the lead as well. There are big games where he's gotten the tactics wrong. He's a good coach, I'm Just not sure he's the right coach 2 years down the line. Give him next season (he's earned that unless he' absolute garbage or somethin) and then make the call. Top clubs are ruthless, the club is always bigger than any player or manager, No matter how likeable they are.

I would just like to say as a Newcastle fan myself born and raised in tynemouth that very little people I know want Howe out however a lot of the fans who have got on the bandwagon after last season are all on twitter wanting Howe out immediately I noticed that they were saying it after the Luton loss it’s just a disgrace that people like that join fan bases and demand for things to happen

[@TyrannosavageRekt]

Y’all hating on Newcastle & Howe are actually tapped. They’re a team that should be looking at Top 7 at the moment, and overachieved last season at a time when a lot of “big” teams were underachieving, and were making lots of personnel changes. They’re missing a lot of key players, and they have this month to strengthen the squad in the transfer window. If they finish between 4th & 10th it will still be a reasonable season. They might have qualified for the Champions League last season, but the season’s before they’ve been hovering around relegation (as well as having been relegated and promoted back a few times). Howe has greatly improved their fortunes and ambition.

Honestly people forget where we were literally only 3 years ago the season before Howe took over. 20/21 our only good signing was Wilson. Our other signings, Fraser, Jamal Lewis, Jeff Hendrick, Gillespie. None of which of had any relevance at the club for quite some time. Joelinton was a flop and most people wanted him gone. He's now injured for the rest of the season and people are saying "Season is over". In the short time Howe has been here, we have had Champion's League football for the first time in 20 years, our first Wembley final in 25 years, and he's turned 'Championship' player's into main stays. People who want Howe gone are glory hunters and need to get their head on straight.

We need patience and hope we can sign at least Kalvin Phillips on a loan with option. With the full squad, things would have been way better, so this means eventually we'll ride out the injuries and perform.

I agree with your point on FFPto an extent, I definitely wouldn't want Newcastle running riot on the transfer market like Man City and Chelsea did in the past. But there must be a medium position between that and where we are now. Newcastle are effectively being punished for the Ashley years. They have few to none sellable assets in the squad other than those they have brought in and so, presumablydo not want to sell. The state of the transfer market means even fleshing out the squad is cost prohibitive. One of our representatives in Europe's premier competition couldn't field a full bench on occasions ffs. FFP is doing the opposite of creating parity. It is keeping the rich clubs at the top and quashing any attempt at competition. Over tge past few years Newcastle, Villa, Leicester, Wolves and West Ham have all had runs at breaking up the top 6, but at the end of the day even the most mediocre Man Utd side in 30 years is going to rise to the top as they can go out and blow another 150 million this month, while the so called richest club on Earth can't afford to buy a squad player.

I would say Howe's job is not under immediate pressure. Howe-ever, he might be the manager to get the ship on the right course, but not "captain" us to the promised land/destination. Another element that helps Howe's job security is the lack of quality managers as well.

Howe is a class manager. And anyone who is getting their knickers in a twist because Newcastle isn't just buying everyone and then claiming that FFP is a joke is clueless about how FFP works. I am not even close to liking the fact that the PIF owns Newcastle, but I will clearly state that I am really impressed at how they've comported themselves in the time since they purchased the club. They didn't come in and act like "We're winning the league next year", they stayed smart and managed to have transfers that stayed easily within the boundaries of FFP and the makeup of the team. They went far more gradual with the transfers and it feels that Howe is involved with the transfers intimately so the players fit his system, as opposed to some other teams just going "Let's just buy players left and right and overpay and we'll find a manager to make them work together." Newcastle are a quality team having an absolute shit run of form. It will balance out and they will probably be up near a European League spot. And Howe's shown that he can make it all work. As long as he gets the chance to bolster the squad with more quality talent in the rest of this window and the summer one, they're going to be VERY dangerous.

Eddie Howe did not lose 7-0. Sorry but we have been horrible everywhere . Ten Hag does not compare Look at their points per game. Newcastle spent less too

[@CRL_Films]

@@mukhtarmuhamud1539 I agree that on paper Ten Hag has a better squad than Howe but the fact is that the players aren't playing for the badge and that's the main reason we're failing, look at the few moments that Ten Hag's tactics have been properly utilized and we look solid, maybe not top 4 but certainly not sack worthy. And you can't really blame Ten Hag for the recruitment either, yes some of his signings haven't been great but they were all good buys on paper (except Mount), but even so, United's consistent lack of a sporting director and competent ownership structure means that no manager is able to have good recruitment and no manager is able to do well, look at Moyes, Van Gaal and José, all good coaches who failed at United. There is no point sacking Ten Hag as no manager would be able to do better in the long term. Howe has done great things at Newcastle because he has a solid ownership structure above him and the players actually care but even so he's failing this season. I say give them both time but, in my eyes, Howe is having a worse season given the contexts. Edit: I'm not saying Ten Hag should be void of criticism, he has made some very dodgy decisions this season but it's also important to note the situation around the club and how things have gone in previous seasons

[@CRL_Films]

@@Timbone07 you can't sack a manager because of one very bad result, yes we have been poor this season but as I've said Ten Hag is only partially to blame for that. As united fans, it is in our best interest to back the manager because even more instability among the managerial and ownership situation is the last thing we want.

Eddie Howe is a paid employee and his job is to take your club to greater heights. He has you mid table, out of the CL and the league cup. Lose away to Fulham in the FA cup and you win no trophies this year. He did well to keep you up in 21-22 and get you 4th in 22-23 but he was paid tons of money to elevate you and now he’s taken you backwards. Don’t hold on to sentiment, he needs to go.

I hate do admit this as a city fan, we were hopeless until KDB came on, i still dont know why Gvardiol plays LB, and Ake player CB yesterday, Gvardiol played LB, why not switch them, Ake is a proven LB and Guardiol is an up-and-coming CB, so why play him left, Alvarez wasn't himself yesterday, he looked like a false 9 and we played with 3 wingers, Pep return to the 3 2 4 1, play Akanji as the 2nd CDM until Stones returns and have a backline of Gvardiol Dias Akanji with Rodri and Stones in front if them

[@yourannoyingness]

Somehow, the Irish Guy manages to have both the best and worst football takes at the same time. It's a marvel, really. Every other week, he's calling for the Ten Hag sack, whilst backing coaches like Thomas Frank, Iraola, and even Steve Cooper to succeed. Eddie Howe has been at Newcastle longer than Ten Hag has been in the EPL, but the latter has outperformed the former, even leapfrogging Howe to a cup. But Irish Guy somehow believes Ten Hag has lost the United dressing room because the English media says so. Because, you know, if there's a righteous source of news, it's the British sports media. It's not like every coach who has had a falling out with one player at the club hasn't supposedly "lost the dressing room" since Mourinho's time. To quote the Irish Guy, "That's a disgrace-an absolute joke!"

[@BigSmokeMUFC]

Plus Eddie Howe has inherited the richest club in the league with owners that actually care for the club.Ten Hag meanwhile is given a club that's been done dirty by the worst owners in the league in the Glazers.

[@BigSmokeMUFC]

Let's not forget the Irish Guy was praising Ten Hag a lot last season. And now he's criticising him, talk about being absolutely fickle

[@man4437]

You say this like Ten Hag isn't managing United while Howe has managed Bournemouth and Newcastle. They lost a cup final with their third choice goalie so I guess Howe is a fraud

[@johnwhalley8270]

Yeah, but that's just his opinion. If it's based on something you don't agree with, that's fine. But ultimately, call a spade a spade, he's lost Ronaldo and Sancho in the last year. Yes, okay, that's more of a clash of personality, but that represents losing the dressing room. The only player he's even slightly improved is Maguire, and even then the guy wasn't even on the bench for today's clash with a top team. Thomas Frank does well with what he has, Iraeola is a big bet but that's what this channel is about. Bottom line with regards to Howe, I think personally he should be sacked. I don't think he has the minerals to win at the top level. I don't, however, think that current form is a good example of how they've played. At the end of the day Howe took a barely functioning relegation fodder team to the top 4 of the table and all the way to a cup final, and you expect that he won't be called sooner for the sack than a man who has top 4-6 Man United dwelling in mid table mediocrity? Get real

[@BigSmokeMUFC]

@@johnwhalley8270 clueless. Just cuz Ronaldo and Sancho got banished doesn't mean he's lost the dressing room. The media are doing this cuz they hate Man Utd and want to get clicks. Man Utd should not sack Ten Hag, they should learn from their mistakes and back their manager. That's how u become a great club, by giving the manager time to work things out.
