Asked about Howe's future, Hopkinson said: "I don't have a stance on his future. What I can tell you is that the derby loss hurt. We take it seriously. There's nothing within us that thinks 'well, it's just three points and on we go'. I expect to have a great run to the end of the season here and we'll talk about the future when it's time.

"Right now, we're focused on this season's competition."
Pressed further as to whether he was leaving Howe's future open, he added:
"I would not frame it that way. We are not looking to make a change at the moment. We are not having those conversations.

"We are still in the midst of the season. Right now we are focused on the seven matches we have remaining and not distracting ourselves with speculation about what we may or may not do in the summer.

"Right now, all of us have only got so much bandwidth and we are focused on this season and finishing strongly."


to me it sounds like there have been discussions behind the scenes from the top brass over changing the manager.
Personally, if we fail to get Europe, i think he's gone
I think HOWE is on the way out! Our performances have been abysmal, and the team selections for most of the year have also left a lot to be desired. I don't think HOWE has high aspirations when it comes to signing players of any REAL quality, and I'm getting tired of hearing about the underwhelming crap that Howe would like to sign, such as that donkey at Tottenham.
