![[The Athletic] Andy Howe was asked to step up by the board to lead the window when Mitchell left last summer. Hierarchically, the 31-year-old was previously below Steve Nickson. Now a "senior football executive", he reports directly to Ross Wilson & remains a critical recruitment voice.](https://external-preview.redd.it/xthIXEE6PRG2iugmSTCPJiag-mPA25LuWgOeJhe1gds.jpeg?width=140&height=93&auto=webp&s=2b92249bc92ae803baa36d605e6c01fcc5cf1374)
Anyone else wanting Boro to come up? If we have to have the mackems in the Premier League then I'd love to see Boro up there too: North East pride and all that!
Hoping to find out from any Newcastle card collectors what this might be worth? I’ve dealt in 1/1’s before but nothing like this..
Hammers fan coming in peace… but seriously who would you rather go down, us or Spurs? Genuine queation, open for discussion.
If Spurs, can you put a word in the ear of the team (hint hint)? I believe the same machinations are going on with Leeds.
Cheers, and fuck the Mackems (if that helps… sorry Bud)
After all the negativity lately, am I the only one who is actually quite optimistic about this summer?
Yes, this Premier League season has been frustrating, but we still had a decent European run, and I honestly think this summer could be a really positive reset for us.
We probably do need to move a few players on. Gordon has not looked quite right recently, and if Tino is as injury-prone as he has been, then it makes sense to cash in if the right offer comes in. Willock also looks like one who may move on, and to be fair, he's done his job and it's probably time.
I still think some of last summer’s signings can come good too. They are not all perfect, but they should still be improvements in terms of squad depth and overall quality compared to where we were before.
A few fresh faces could make a massive difference, and even without Champions League football, I still think we can have a strong season next year. A couple of backroom additions would be a welcome change too.
There's a lot of change coming, and that is why I think it makes sense to give Howe another season and let him steady the ship.
Forgive me for this but I always look at the relegated club's and know there are some good players, plus we know the Eddie, assuming he is still there next season (please don't turn it into that discussion), likes players with PL experience.
Who do you fancy from Wolves, Burnley and WH/Spurs?
The two that stand out to me are Fleming (Burnley), who seems to have an eye for goal, is a bit different to our current forwards and seems like he could be a good addition.
The other is Mane at Wolves. Young with a lot of promise and depending on our transfer business, might be a good addition as a wide forward/midfield.
Any thoughts?
Been nearly a year or so since posted on the sub,with the crest probably already decided just thought I'd share the last attempt i had/going to have at a one just as a hobby.
Really great interview with Dan Burn about mental health across his career, in relation to the new mental health initiative the club are running.
Yesterday I was watching the Smoggies, today it's Lazio vs Inter Milan and remembering Gazza and his years playing for I Biancocelesti. Gazza was something else before the injuries got him. What a player he was; sad we only had him for so short a time.
Was watching this last night and it's mad seeing it compared to what we've watched this season
