[Albion] Would you take Eddie?

In the second ridiculous game in Australia, he put out the kids and lost 8-0 to the A League All Stars. Not sure his owners will like that optic much.

Good on him.

Ensconced at Newcastle with no signs of him leaving so what’s the point in even thinking about it

To make some of the other options being bandied about more palatable?

NUFC might imagine themselves a big global brand, but no one really gives a shit about them outside of Newcastle.

100%. It’s the same with clubs like Leeds. They think they are massive because they have supporters all over the world, but those people are Geordies or people from Leeds who have moved abroad. You don’t go to Thailand or Vietnam and see a kid wearing a Newcastle or Leeds shirt, they are all wearing Man Utd / Liverpool / Arsenal shirts.

Fans of these big one club city teams think that because they are big, they are global. But they aren’t- their global supporters are ex-pats, and the number of them is purely down to the fact that they come from massive cities with big populations.

Would you take Eddie Howe as our manager?​

Sadly there's a sizeable number of muppets amongst our support who wouldn't think twice about bellowing out 'EddieHowesbluenwhitearmy'. f*** those people
