I reckon we should sack Howe and be the first club in history to be managed by AI for six games.
"Give it Copiloteh till the end of the season."
It would be a laugh anyway.

Newcastle should use Their brains well & realise That The Player has given Arsenal permission & He wants to leave just accept The Bid & use The remaining Time to find a replacement stop acting like A Big 6 Team yet You Are just A Mid-Table fodder!!!
@_toonccy And being from Kenya starts mattering the second he starts calling my local team "fodder" or showing any other level of disrespect, tbh.
By all means support your team from wherever, don't disrespect mine, when Newcastle is more relevant to football than your entire nation.
@jaffa_5 Even worse in hindsight with the season ending the way it did. If we were locked into achieving something, fair enough, but the reality is it was for nowt as well.
Itโs fairly simple.
Howe has mega overachieved in the previous seasons with the help of unbelievable recruitment and making bang average players a lot better than what they should be. Heโs, also had the best striker in the league with the best back up poacher in the league too. Bruno could play for anyone also.
Howe in summer 2024 was flirting with the idea of going to England, although England had absolutely no interest in him becoming manager. Saudi hired their own man who was bang on about recruitment to an extent. Wrong & right at the same time. Howe felt challenged and annoyed, ego clash. After he won the cup Howe got the keys to the club.
Mitchell left a day after the season ended because he knew what was coming last summer. A manager set in his way with his โsmall pool of playersโ that improve us. Mitchell getting in the cross fire for Isakโs new contract, which Isak would have left for Liverpool regardless if he got one or not & has been thrown under the bus about Trafford. Trafford signed for Man City 8 weeks after PM left Newcastle.
Every signing apart from the Thiaw and Ramsey were 6/7 down the list. Howe constantly knocks back the recruitment teams targets, he also wanted his nephew to lead the summer last season which he did. Steve Nickson, instrumental in the Bruno, Isak and Botman signings was thrown on sales.
Howeโs intentions has always been not to sell players, Leeds offer for Longstaff was actually on the table for 5 weeks before he brought him self to accept it. Didnโt want Pope or willock to move on either. Tried his hardest to convince Wilson to stay on too. 4 goalkeepers needed for some reason, Lascelles also staying on then magically thrown out the club with no thankyou, strange.
Last season basically showed the effects of a Howe lead summer, players bored of the same tactics, same excuses, same set up and same training sessions. A pre season where they only won a behind closed door game against Carlisle.
This is a collective though, Howe was absolutely shocking last season. PIF supposedly have a team of 50 people working day to day on the club. Howe has masked the incompetency from the club by over achieving. When Howe hits his ceiling, when old players arenโt good enough anymore, when bang average players who have been playing above their capabilities it unravels everything. Everyone has to do better. Fulham away was 35 days ago and weโve lost Tripps, Krafth, Gordon & Ramsdale, who is shit but we canโt be expecting Jaouen to be ready. Tonali will go to spurs soon. Pre season is 2 weeks away & the squad is fucking shit.

@SirMonkeySuit Interesting time to start the 'all just want the best for the club thing' would have been useful through last season that.
If we start it, are we gonna stick to it though?
