Could it really be YIPEE time?

I can see this happening. Not sure about Howe probably the best we could get in to be fair.

Isn't Newcastle too far up north for him?

It's about 500 kilometers north of his last job but, he managed Burnley so maybe not.

He left Burnley to go back to Bournemouth for family reasons. As well as the death of his Mum which precipitated the move, though, I think there was a feeling that he wasn't comfortable being away from there.

I suspect this would be a move too far, literally.

That and the fact that he's not a moron like Bruce-you'd hope a seemingly intelligent man like Howe wouldn't even consider working under fatso.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you Zip.

This is a good point. In a way, I'd lose respect for him if he were to take the job, although simultaneously I'd be excited to see what he could do here.

Of course, he could take the job being optimistic that the takeover is going to go through. Now that would be ideal.

PS. I'd be very happy with Howe. However, under Ashley, I get the sense that it doesn't matter who we get as the team won't be invested in any way.

We need a boost HG.
We have some good players but they look tired, underwhelmed, abject.
Best example I can give is Almiron.
Totally off his game, out of position, lost. No longer an impact going forward. We have the players but totally out of position.

If we go 442 you will see a difference in our performances.
