I’m sorry but it is time for Eddie Howe to go

Eddie Howe has aged – he looks haunted.

He is devoid of ideas.

In my opinion, Eddie Howe is out of his depth and will only drag us down.

Eddie Howe lost that derby as he yet again proved that whatever spark that guided us to finally winning us a cup, has been snuffed out.

His downfall has affected every player – their one time inspiration and mentor has vanished, leaving them leaderless and confused.

This was sadly evident in the derby on Sunday afternoon, a lack of confidence and unity because the SS Howe has lost its rudder and is sailing in ever decreasing circles.

Time to do the right thing and hand in your notice Bonny Lad.

Time for our owners to break the all time compensation payment record and finally give Jose Mourinho the job he has craved.

I can’t think of anybody else who could carry on our journey that seems to have run aground – can you?

This is the elephant in the black and white room and  I think that even as I’m writing this, the Newcastle United owners have noticed it too.

Look, you can crucify this article in the comments, I don’t care.

But surely even the most ardent Eddie Howe fan must see that the time has come to say goodbye and thanks a lot.
