Top 4 isn’t the aim. With PSR etc, they know it’s going to take time, Europe is the aim, with the hope that we have an excellent season and qualify for the Champions League.If you can't finish properly (i.e score goals) then Newcastle aren't going to finish in the top 4 , which means that they won't qualify for the Champions League,and all the extra income that it brings.
How long will Saudi PIF wait until they expect to see a decent return on their investment.
Personally,I think Eddie Howe has taken them as far as he can,and if they want to move up a notch,he will need to be replaced by a more elite manager.
Possibly, some things with him are pissing me off, in saying that who is better than him and available?
I honestly think we’ll try for Pep, once he’s done his job with you, which I suspect would be by the end of next season.
