Phil Lowery

@rossgregory9 🤣👍

@rossgregory9 Not wanting to avoid the question entirely, but I’d say he should be given a target of European football next year. That’s his single target. I’d then measure every international break against that objective.

November 8th. 10 games into new season. NUFC head into an international break. What position in the league do they have to be for fans to be happy with Eddie Howe and progress?

@nwater_care nice job. Traffic cones not put back, road closed sign leaning on path. 👏

@rockinghorse77 @ConnorRC10 Exactly! “For me to back Howe” 🤣 so many members of the ownership coming out the woodwork…

@ConnorRC10 I’m sure the club will be looking closely at your demands 👍

🚨For me to back Howe next season a number of things has to happen.... A new No.2 - He needs a new voice on the touchline with fresh ideas. Leave transfers to Ross Wilson and just coach players coming in, don't want to see players like, Delap, Solanke, Tavernier, Trafford, Hill signed. Need to bring in technical players who can keep the ball and create opportunities. Needs to have more than 1 formation and style of play, don't want to see the 4-3-3 rigid tactics again. Needs to be proactive in game and not wait for things to happen before changing things. Needs to sell players at the right time and not hold on to players and leave for free. #NUFC Can he do this?

@STFU1346 @FrancisChipp @NUFC 🤣

@FrancisChipp @NUFC Possibly the best time to face a team that was 12 points clear, and are crumbling. Europe is still possible if: Palace and Villa win in Europe. The teams above us lose a lot. We hit a purple patch. A lot ifs, but hey, ever the optimist 😂

A trip to the Emirates comes next 🔜

@IanARobinson @PeteGravesTV This is clearly too sensible for this platform 🤣

He will not struggle for work. The question is whether he is the real issue, as PIF seem to be struggling to come to terms with running a football club. The popular myth is that Howe (and his relatives) have carte blanche over transfers. The reality is that every financial decision at the club is made by PIF. In the case of transfers this leads to a painfully slow process, which is categorized by multiple bids, protracted negotiations and losing out to clubs in the top 6 who entered the process at a later stage. PIF are focused purely on resale value, which by definition means our best players are always available at the right price- hence the current speculation. They expect to play a part in the selection process including questioning targets put forward by the DoF (both our previous DoF found they could not work within that framework). The result was we ended up shopping for the best of the rest two weeks after the season started, and the result is clear for all to see. They even had to compromise on resale value in buying Wissa who is well outside of their age profile. Howe looks tired and there is a lot of rinse and repeat with team selection and tactics. But there is no doubt he is talented and has proven he can improve players consistently. PIF have to decide if a reset in the summer (which will require them to devolve transfer negotiations to the CEO / DoF will get the project back on track, or whether they believe they can get the same impact by changing the manager. My call is that Howe will be well sought after and if he goes we will fail to get the elite manager most fans think will replace him. Brand Howe has not come out of the recent months unscathed, but he has kept his own council which will nbe attractive to certain owners groups. Remember Emery would not sign up for this project under these terms, preferring Villa. Most of the names touted on twitter would take the same view, so PIF need to reset for the club to go forward.

One final thought. And listen, I appreciate all the replies. Helps me gauge online fan opinion. If the "Eddie out" crew get their wish. Do you think he'd struggle to find another job? Or quickly pop up at one of our rivals? He's the best English manager by a mile.

@TomHayes1980 @Pooliemags1Ttv @magsmighty1 The point he’s making is HE IS NOT BRUCE or PARDEW man 🤣

@Pooliemags1Ttv @magsmighty1 Give over you numpty if this was Bruce or pardew you would be down there throats we are regressing no style no plan b or c no fight no passion players dictate where they play your a Howe fan not nufc fans

Eddie Howe name was sang right through that game he’s going nowhere anytime soon #nufc

@rossgregory9 Looks a shadow of his former self right now. Ever since that talk of the secret contract emerged he’s been way off his best.

Another iffy performance from Tonali. Just doesn’t look himself. Not as composed in possession and positionally he hasn’t offered control or protection like he usually does

@thenihiin Born to run

Name an album where you can listen to every song from the beginning to the end and not have the urge to skip a song?

@rossgregory9 @pd_lynch It was dreadful. But I think the loss of hall and tino has been huge. Burn trying to overlap and Murphy and Kraft the first half looked like they were meeting for the first time ever

@pd_lynch Rightly so. He was a disgrace

One of the worst 45 minutes I've seen from this NUFC side in a long, long time. Their left-hand side is all over the place. Midfield has been terrible and the front 3 non-existent after Murphy's opener.

@vivahate72 @beINSPORTS_EN @AndyKerrtv 🤣

@beINSPORTS_EN @AndyKerrtv Fuck me, Clark and Shola would even be in a 500 a side team.

😅 "Oh, we haven't got a defender!" Eddie Howe picks his all-time Newcastle 5-a-side team, and it's most certainly all-out attack ⚫️⚪️ 🎤 @AndyKerrtv #beINPL #NUFC

@pd_lynch @macaz1977 @NUFC 🤣🤣🤣

@macaz1977 @NUFC Just ripped the front door off its hinges and shouted get in to them into the street

@pd_lynch 🤣

I for one am shocked none of the #nufc itk crowd knew about Woltemade.

@pd_lynch @Ratmanjon @rossgregory9 Oh I’m firmly in the keep Isak camp.

@Projector_Phil @Ratmanjon @rossgregory9 Haha, very true. Not many teams will want to give up their strikers now. We're nearly at keep Isak and use Gordon as backup striker territory.

A fair few #NUFC fans saying they’d go for Rasmus Hojlund. Thoughts?

@pd_lynch @Ratmanjon @rossgregory9 I think we are nearing the stage of offering Shola his shirt back so I’d be applying the ‘beggars and choosers’ theory here and taking anyone 🤣

@Ratmanjon @rossgregory9 His confidence is gone and can't see him getting it back to the point where he's scoring anything near even 15 league goals a season.

@FrancisChipp 🤣

@Ratmanjon @NUFCThreatLevel Out of interest Phil, what does it work out per game. I had 4 in there for every match and I think it was 230 quid a pop

That’s outrageous, mind. Even at their pomp they weren’t worth that.. I hope that isn’t a trend that’ll spread, but feels inevitable the more American/NFL owners we get. Someone has to stand up to this. PSR (sorry for mentioning it again, I hate it too) is a handy excuse.

@rossgregory9 I’m pleased I’m not the only one who thought that @rossgregory9

Taking off Barnes instead of Gordon 👀👀

@JaneSBeaufort hi Jane, I’ve got a similar issue with Biff waste - local business has their waste collected at 450am in residential area and the wagon uses its reversing alarm. Did you have any luck with Biffa?

@rossgregory9 Tonali had a stinker too.

That's a very good Liverpool side. There are areas of concern for #NUFC - Bruno and Gordon's form, injuries, Pope, goals conceded. The Carabao Cup final will be won and lost in midfield though. Liverpool are so strong there. Newcastle need Joelinton back and Bruno on song
