The final part of our Q&A with BBC Radio Newcastle’s Matthew Raisbeck is about the future of Magpies boss Eddie Howe.
Bob asked: Do you think Eddie Howe will still be at Newcastle come January?
Matthew replied: I do. Howe has made a long-term commitment to Newcastle United and is determined to be the manager who wins a trophy. His love for the club and strong bond with the supporters should not be underestimated.
However, I think the events of the summer have been unsettling for everyone.
Howe said just two months ago he needs to be “happy and feel supported and feel free to do the work that I love to do”. The changes off the pitch also mean new working relationships have to be built. It is in everyone’s interests for these to be positive.
If results continue to be good and performances improve, there is no argument for the club to change manager.
Newcastle do have to strengthen in January because another window without a major signing will do Howe and his players no favours whatsoever.
