BREAKING NEWS: ‘Eddie Howe to replace Thomas Tuchel with England after Newcastle sack’.
Eddie Howe is not likely to stay at Newcastle for long because the club’s owners’ ambitious expectations will see him out of a job soon, according to Simon Jordan.
Howe will attempt to put an end to the Magpies’ long wait for a major trophy on Sunday (16 March), when they meet Premier League leaders Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.

“But my sense was that Eddie could always be a very valuable and deserving (from a) rewarded aspect of achieving something at Newcastle, which is getting a successful side, getting a team that’s really competitive in the Premier League that people genuinely enjoy watching.
