Howe spent £15 million on Jordon "better than Raheem Sterling" Ibe.

Howe is better than Bruce but not by much. I always maintained he was overhyped at Bournemouth. They played OK with the ball, which should be an improvement, but they weren't as good as people made out. Their execution of attacking moves was noticeably lacking.
Out of possession they were as soft as Playdough, which won't be an improvement. He'll probably get them out of the Championship next season.

Played expansive football possession football early on in his managerial career then changed tact to park the bus! That’s why now he hasn’t had a job for a few years! You become a manager you have a way to play football you stick to it like Arteta has, you lose all respect if you change principles.

His solution to watching Bournemouth sliding fast down the table was to take his players out on team building exercises.
I hope Newcastle have plenty of Kayaking and Go-Kart facilities.

Wouldn't be surprised to if they bought Ake in the summer.
He probably didn't envisage quite how benched he'd be over his first 2 seasons, he was great for Howe at Bournemouth and Newcastle desperately need a CB.
And they might give us the £40m we spent on him.

why did they wait this long to make an appointment. surely its been 3 weeks or so since they fired Bruce. Bloody joke.
I think that several they approached turned them down, not wanting championship football. If Newcastle think that tons of tfr money is all that is needed to attract a top man, they need to think again.why did they wait this long to make an appointment. surely its been 3 weeks or so since they fired Bruce.

What is their vision?

Pretty standard, Pep took our lot paint balling when we were doing terribly.

He has a lot of potential as a Manager, but Newcastle will make a couple of big name statement signings and I wonder if top european and south american players will be attracted will know who he is.
It was Robinhos face when he met Hughes at the hotel in London, that gave the game away, for us!

I can't be alone in wondering why, if Howe is such a decent manager, then why has he been out of work for over a year at such a young age?
I wish him luck at Newcastle, i think he'll need it

Not the right move unless they are planning on going down and coming straight back up
Eddie will rather prefer the one that the red dippers signed from Preston in the winter - only 50 million quid! That's a bargain!Ake for 40m going back to a manager he played under and made captain the leader

Wonder what his wife thinks about this!
Despite all the praises from the media, and them flinging him at every open job in the PL, with Eddie Howe, it's a case of 'there's always a better choice'. Like how Everton went with Rafa instead, Crystal Palace went with Vieira. And this time, he was the choice after Newcastle approached Mourinho, Conte, and Emery.I can't be alone in wondering why, if Howe is such a decent manager, then why has he been out of work for over a year at such a young age?

Mark Hughes then was better than Howe now. At least Hughes overachieved with Blackburn and signed some decent players with us.Howe is their Mark Hughes. He'll take Newcastle so far, and then they'll get rid of him for a better Manager.

Didn't he shithouse it out of Burnley after a few months because he missed the sun or flat beer or something?
