This is not true. Bournemouth's wage bill was midtable at over £100m. Howe was backed by Russian who owns Bournemouth,

I mean a club that has stadium of 10k had wage bill of £100m and they still went down. Bournemouth invested quite heavily.

I think media distorts the opinion of English managers even if they do underwhelming job. If Howe was foreign he would have been royally slagged off the season Bournemouth went down, which was better squad than this current Newcastle squad.

This appointment will not end well for Newcastle. Saudis clearly don't know what they are doing thankfully.

Sorry wasn’t clear. I didn’t really mean in the premier league. I was talking more about league 1. He did a great job of getting them up when other teams spent lots of money

Don't mind Howe but Roberto Mancini he is not...............

It's not exactly what Newcastle need though is it. A man who got a team out of league 1 with no budget.
As soon as he had money to spend things went down hill

With Howe's track record I'm expecting Newcastle's first transfer business to be a £150m double swoop for Curtis Jones and Divock Origi

I'd expect him to buy Palace's keeper due to the amount of time wasting he gets away with. or is that just against us?
I've never got the Howe hype because I only go to City games and Bournemouth spent much of our ten recent games against them wasting time.

18 cloobs, you can't have Saudi sponsorships, but please buy our deadwood players.

Howe needs to attract some half decent players this Jan to have a chance of staying up. Not going to be easy given the league position Newcastle are in. I guess that why no other top manager wanted the job. Best of luck to him.

Had a look at a Newcastle forum, they seem more interested about whether Don Howe is his Dad or not
