That would be a very silly move IMO. Howe has more than earned his shot going into next season. I don't doubt they'll want a bigger name manager at some point but what's the rush?
Difference is the manager at Man United is deemed a failure if they don't win a trophy in any given season. Newcastle are nowhere near that stage. They may have ambitions to but they've got a long way to go before the fans/owners start demanding trophies.
Hmm, I think Howe has proven he is a very good manager with what he's done at Newcastle TBH. Future England manager I think.
Yep, and Howe has been a much better club manager than Southgate so far.
I think he's certainly enhanced his reputation in the last few months. Until Newcastle, he was only ever a success at Bournemouth where he did a wonderful job but also had his flaws (mostly defensively). He was under huge pressure from the moment he took the Newcastle job - a job outside his comfort zone it's fair to say - and if there was an award for manager of the 2nd half of the season he'd win it by a country mile.
It's more the fact that he took on a squad very low on confidence and transformed it into a team who are in top 6 form. Also, he's had plenty of injuries to contend with. Trippier, one of their main signings has been out most of the 2nd half of the season. Wilson was out long term. He's also turned Joelinton from a CF who couldn't hit a barn door into a very good box to box midfielder! It's churlish to say the jury is still out on him IMO. He's been there since November now and he's done a remarkable job IMO.
