I fear Eddie Howe might get them relegated whereas Big Sam is much safer.
Give him 18months contract, stay up, they can replace him and pay him off in the summer.

Big Sam isn't the same anymore.
He's old and his heart wouldn't be in it - would be a Bruce mk 2.

I thing he'll be able to add to ASM and Almiron too, always gets the best from attackers. If they can sort the defence out short term before getting 1-2 good CB in, they have a fighting chance.
Getting the best from Wilson and keeping him fit is what will keep them up.

Take some inspiration from us (Leicester), bottom of the league for 2 thirds of the season, to surviving, and the rest is history

Who will be Howe's first signing Mbappe or Haaland?
Origi. He loves Liverpool's leftovers.
I think they will come sniffing around Nat Phillips.
You joke, but I would take him in a second TBH

There is absolutely no way the fans would accept Fat Sham. I think most would rather be relegated.
Howe would be a good appointment imo. Best we could have got under the circumstances. I think it's a bit of a no lose situation for Howe as most of the football world won't be expecting to stay up and if he keeps us up then he's going to look like a genius. Even if he ends up being a transitional stopgap for two and a half years then he'll be well paid for his troubles and see his stock rise if he does ok. The bottom quarter of the premier league seems to get worse every year and the old 40 point safety net is long gone, its now closer to 35. If he can keep Wilson and ASM fit and tighten them up at the back I think there'll be enough to edge it.

Im really not sure Eddie Howe is the man you want to get you out of a relegation battle from the position Newcastle are in. Their defence is awful (Hence why I genuinely think Nat Phillips might be linked) and im not sure Howe is the one to improve it but we will see.

Man Utd are going to make quite a bit of dosh in January. I can imagine them being just like City when they first got money. Spending it everywhere!
Yea true but he wouldnt cost a lot. I imagine he's London bound to be honest.

Phil the power Jones.
Ole Jones hasn't been holding back in his latest interviews. Basically confirming the rumours about Bruce. "Can't come up here and do it part time" "have to give it their all"
they also weren't shy about posting photos also.
His agents were at Newcastle last month
