INTERESTING ARTICLE ABOUT ROBERTO MANCINI:

"With Howe being linked with the England job after being shortlisted by the FA as one of the candidates, Newcastle have already made their plans regarding his replacement.

Journalist Dean Jones has told GiveMeSport that the Magpies will target former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini, who guided the Sky Blues to a Premier League title against Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United.

Jones told GiveMeSport:

“If Howe was to leave the job for England, then it would lead Newcastle on a quest to find a proven winner that elevates their standing in the game and finally wins them a trophy.

“A few months ago I was told that Roberto Mancini would be a serious contender if they were to look for a new manager, so that might be one to look out for. Finding somebody that has shown they can go head-to-head with the top managers and also help bring in top players is what they’ll be looking for. So let’s see what happens with Howe, but it could actually lead to some very interesting times.”

The Magpies have decided to target a proven winner in case Howe leaves them for the England job.

The Italian manager has an extensive CV and his experience can be matched by few other managers in the game today.

Roberto Mancini will bring winning mentality to Newcastle

Not only did he guide City to the Premier League title but also won the Serie A three times in a row with Inter Milan.

Mancini has also proved himself on the international level by winning Euro 2020 with the Italian national team, in which they beat England on penalties.

Newcastle are reluctant to lose Howe but the England job might be too big for the manager to turn down.

Mancini had City before FFP and they were throwing money at the squad.

He’s a good manager, but given our players I think we need more of a man manager than the disciplinarian that is Mancini.

This.

I struggle to think of a manager who has improved so many players in such a short period of time as EH.
At this stage of our journey that’s what we need the most.
The England job is also about motivating players and tactics but less about improving players. If the player isn’t at the level required, he doesn’t make the squad (…unless it’s Southgate!)

Don't mind Mancini as such, but I wouldn't be particularly excited if he was presented as our new manager.

[Zippity]

I think our squad would respond better to someone like Poch than Mancini.

Don't think we'll be needing to get a new manager, though.

I can barely bring myself to post on this thread, so strong is my desire to keep Eddie Howe. For me, he is the most important cog in the wheel. I would rather lose multiple star players before Eddie. We can’t let him go and I really hope he doesn’t want to either.

Agree with this to be honest.

Poch makes more sense if it happened.

I do not think it will happen though.

I would hate to lose Eddie, especially so soon after Amanda, really unsettling effect on fans, and the players. I could see some of them seeing this as their opportunity to leave. Howe and Amanda are the glue at Newcastle, personally I don’t think he will leave, he has integrity as we know, but all the new people coming in, will he get on with Mitchell? Did he have any input into his appointment? Eddie could be unsettled at the moment, but that will change once the season starts, anyway fingers crossed.

I think anyone, including Howe, shouldn’t be wrapped in cotton wool. People come and go in any business and subordinates are seldom consulted about the appointment of their bosses!
It’s up to the club to do everything to keep him if they want (they clearly do) but if he still wants to leave then we can ‘blame’ no-one except EH.
I’ll be amazed if he leaves as I’ve seen zero evidence to suggest he’s thinking about it.
