Definitely Not An Old Poster
Exactly, it's a huge opportunity for Howe, feels a bit short term for Newcastle but maybe that's how they are viewing it as well. Realistically it's going to be difficult in January to do much, especially in a relegation battle. This looks like a lifeboat managerial appointment.Pretty rare for a lower manager to get a chance at a rich club. Moyes one of the few. His stats for a year in charge were no worse than the Mourinho and LVG, but they cut him off at knees before he had a chance to settle in.
So this is Howe’s way into the big time via the starting gate. Not sure he’s up to it. But if can hang in until the money bites, it’s a hell of an opportunity for him.
