Slot getting sacked despite winning the PL shows how ruthless these clubs can be when trending downward.
Howe is very lucky to be getting a chance to rebuild a squad for the second time, I really hope it works out.
NUFC's 2025/26 Premier League season 👇
Most defeats outside of relegation zone (17)✅
Most points dropped from winning positions (27)✅
Fewest points gained from losing positions (3)✅
Most goals conceded in final 15 mins (20)✅
Club's biggest summer transfer spend ever✅
My god we are absolutely TERRIBLE. £700m spent to match Steve Bruce’s 17 defeats and we deserved every one of them. WE ARE ABSOLUTE SHIT
Sunderland get Europe while we get another shocking performance, because we lack the brains to sack a manager who’s been PISS POOR all season!
Woltemade comes off the bench for the junk minutes - 3 minutes later, a world class bit of play to create the best chance of the game.
He’s most gifted player at the club and he can’t get a game!!??
Eddie Howe’s treatment of this lad is idiotic, stubborn and disgraceful. #NUFC
Embarrassing. Spineless. Pathetic
Where do I even begin after that.
- awful team selection(Elanga &Gordon over Murphy and Barnes?)
-take woltemade off when you bring Murphy on who can cross?
- awful negative tactics.
It was just god awful from start to finish.
The thing with informal promises is, they’re not enforceable in terms of the contract a player signs.
Alexander Isak signed a contract until 2028 that didn’t include a release clause, it leaves the club holding the cards. Refusing to play just feels wrong on every level to me.
RW sorted with Elanga.
RCB sorted with Thiaw.
Ball playing keeper sorted with Ramsdale.
Bring in a couple strikers and a midfielder now and it’s a great window. Halfway there. #NUFC
The anxiety felt by #NUFC fans is not down to them knowing they will eventually lose Alexander Isak as much as it is not trusting those in charge of bringing in a replacement to do what's right for the club ..
❤️🩹 Eddie Howe is a brilliant man-manager and he’s going to have to use all of those powers to get Alexander Isak into the right frame of mind to start the season as a Newcastle player.
💰 That is unless someone stumps up the money (£150m) for Isak to go.
✍🏼 ❌ This window couldn’t have gone any worse for #NUFC, it was supposed to be the one that they finally strengthened…
