Ahead of Newcastle's match against Brighton, The Soccer Saturday panel discussed Eddie Howe and Newcastle United with the panel questioning the magpies' owners handling of the search for a new manager.
Former Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe agreed a deal in principle to become the new Newcastle manager on a two-and-a-half-year contract but it's understood discussions are still ongoing regarding his backroom staff.

They keep saying no disrespect to Eddie Howe. Clearly it's a massive disrespect. It's great to see Eddie Howe shutting them up with results.
Another month on, this lot need to give back the wages they've been stealing as pundits.
They havant got a clue ha
There’s a reason why Jeff is retiring after this season having to listen to this panel talking utter nonsense
😂
Not a scooboe do
Omg not the best haircut to show off your ears
There's Clint
Who employed these idiots?
Not a Newcastle fan but i would love to see Eddie Howe prove these so called pundits wrong by keeping Newcastle up , it can and has been done
Me too
I think they will stay up
Oh he is big time (posted 2/3/22) 👍 and we Toon fans love it.
Looks like he did. 💯
Never in doubt brother
spot on
How can these so called pundits forget that Eddie Howe is the one who built the foundations at Bournemouth? From nearly dropping out of League 2 on -17 points to the Prem and then keeping them up for 4 out of 5 years!
The issue isn't the appointment of Eddie howe it's how they got to that point and the way the club has conducted the manager search
@@andrewsmith8605 ita not the owners in the search its the media finding every story and breaking it same thing happened at Tottenham with Nuno
@@E.RED. its not stories if its true. All those managers did reject spurs. And so did emery now with newcastle
@@stephenjames227 I'm not saying it's not true. A club can interview as many candidates as it likes all clubs do. It's up to the Manager and the club to find if it's a fit for them. The Media need to keep out until a club and a manager have made a decision.I think eddie s a great appointment young up and coming manager
he also got them relegated wtih nathan ake, callum wilson, Aaron ramsdale.
Disrespects Eddie Howe blatantly and then says no disrespect to Eddie Howe
Also a lie
Is Eddie really the right guy for the job? surely more highlight profile manager is needed.
@@perryvalton4245 I’m from the future, Eddie Howe was a great appointment
"If Steve Bruce would've played that way, it would've been mayhem"
He did have them playing that way, that's the thing Paul you absolute weapon.
These pundits are dreadful. I'm a Newcastle fan, and Eddie Howe is being welcomed with open arms by every fan I know. These pundits are of the belief that our fans want everything here and now lol. We've waited nearly 14 years just to have a club with a fraction of ambition, and that won't go and sell every half decent player we get through the door. Merson should of been sacked along time ago imho.
Yes lad
Agreed
Mate no one understands the club unless your from the area, they paint a picture in their head and think they know what they’re talking about🤣
@@DYL2020 yeah no one understands you lads. Absolute rough area and people who change their minds over football depending on whether your drunk or not
@@jameslaude3654 clown
Eddie Howe is a great appointment. He knows how to build up a team from weak to strong, he knows how to keep on side of the foundational players, he's the perfect choice to help Newcastle set up shop.
Good championship rebuild
Ye exactly it’s not like there’s any other better manager who wants to join
It’s not like Newcastle are suddenly Real Madrid and everyone wants to join them. It takes time. Trust the process though (unlike Lampard, Arteta and Ole)
Newcastle gonna win fk all
@@stevenpeg5268 City didn't win anything for years after their takeover
Majority of Newcastle fans are happy with Eddie Howe, what are they talking about?
I love how well this video has aged
12 months on and this aged like fresh milk.
This aged well. Absolute spuds
Merson is the last person who should be questioning whether someone has a clue or not. Howe hasn't been sitting on his arse while he's been out of work. He was over in Spain at both Athletico and Rayo Vallecano picking the brains of their managers, and observing their training methods. He also spent the time reviewing what went wrong in his final season at Bournemouth, and looking how he could improve any weaknesses in his training methods and tactics. I'm sure Merson can't even comprehend that level of work ethic, given that he's not even done the minimal amount of research into what Howe's been up to before opening his mouth.
As for Staveley and the people running the club, they've definitely made mistakes, but given how suddenly the takeover happened, this far into the season, without any structures in place, it's understandable. Ashley literally left a skeleton crew keeping the club running, so untangling the mess he's left in his 15 years of neglect was always going to take a lot of time. As for Hendrie he's probably actually worse than Merson for the amount of shite he talks about Newcastle fans and what we supposedly expect. Merson you at least feel a bit sorry for, given he's likely fried his brain with all the coke.
Watching 2 Spanish teams train that play in a totally different league in a different country ain't gonna help Eddie Howe save Newcastle United from relegation though.
They only kept Merson on in case he hit the bottle
@@theclown8568 all education and experiences benefit a person. They do still play football in Spain.
Fair comment but let yourself down getting personal about Paul Merson and his problems.Behave yourself
@@theclown8568 this is the sort of thinking that causes England to never win international trophies lmao
Just when I think Merson can't talk any more drivel he comes out with more. We would welcome Eddie Howe! He took Bournemouth from the bottom of league 2 right up to the premier league and kept them there for 5 years. He's a very underrated manager.
I think the point he was trying to make, is that those good qualities he has, aren’t what Newcastle need right now. Newcastle need to stay up, but they also need to be in a position to attract players moving forward. You can’t say Eddie Howe has a big pull or that he’s ever had to organise an entire team on the brink of collapse as he won’t be given the time.
@@Squall659 mersons just a very negative person, probably due to his drink and gambling problems he wants sacked
4 years 5th year they got relegated
@@DYL2020 haha fair enough
Can't stand P Merson at times
I love coming back and watching these videos.
It would be nice to have this panel reflect on this conversation
I’m glad the comments have more sense than the pundits. But I’ve got a few points to make:
1. “They’re all over the place”. This is speculation. We simply don’t know what the state the club is in at the top level. All we know is that it’s taking the owners a while to appoint a new manager. They shouldn’t be spreading misinformation like this.
2. (Would the Newcastle fans warm to the appointment of Eddie Howe) “I don’t think so”. This point probably comes from us being linked with Conte, Emery, Ten Harg. These are top managers which really shouldn’t be managing a relegation threatened side, and it does feel like a step down when you’re being linked with managers that really shouldn’t be at that club. However with Howe, Newcastle will play a more attractive style that’ll excite the fans. That’ll instantly get Newcastle fans to love him. They haven’t had a manager like that since Keegan.
3. “Newcastle fans expect to be somewhere which they’re not. And that is the problem” Classic Newcastle criticism. It’s the fans fault. They should just accept mediocrity and relegation. It’s a very unfair criticism, and there are two reasons why. 1) No fanbase should accept mediocrity and below, they should be able to believe that their team can reach a higher level. 2) Newcastle’s expectations have been lowered. They’ve been lowered for 15 years. They’re not delusional. They know that relegation is very likely. They just want to be entertained and be in the premier league. So then they can build something that can win something in the future.
Love watching these back and seeing how clueless they are. Eddie Howe has created an unbelievable atmosphere.
100% I never understood the disrespect towards him tbh. He's gone to show them up something awful.
"No disrespect" none of them have a clue. all toon fans should save this clip to understand what a job Eddie has done. Completely written off as an embarrassing appointment only to create history.
Eddie Howe is going to be successful for Newcastle United, mark my words.... and that just means keeping them up this season. Some of these pundits have no idea about the mindset of the Toon Fans.
True bro so true double like from me 👍🏼 👍🏼
It’s cos they are cosy in their little media bubbles - being paid to talk drivel. That point Newcastle earned might keep them up. Every point is vital and I’m sure it will improve.
Hmm let's start with a 3-0 win at Brentford and Wilson goes off
@@alastairbrewster4274 really he clearly Bournemouth from a -17 point deduction for league 2 🤔 he started the Bournemouth development in November 🧐 his first game for Newcastle is at St James Park in (November) lightning ⚡️ will strike twice 🤞
You where right mate
So funny watching this back now as a die hard geordie fan that's been through a world of pain for 14 years
I bet in 2023 it’s even better
I don't know if Paul has a clue!
The disrespect to eddie howe is amazing, people forget the work he did at bournemouth
The disrespect comes from the way he treated one of the biggest clubs in the country Celtic , stringed them along for 5 months all because he wouldn't move without his mates who were at Bournemouth so it really won't surprise me if he does exact same thing to Newcastle mate...
What did he do at Bournemouth?
@@PSG81 id like to know aswell mate
@@TheJoker1904 lol
@@PSG81 Literally got them from League 2 into the Premier League?
and just a year later, from relegation battle to fighting for UCL place with Howe 💥💥💥
This really shows what the "experts" know.....🤣🤣🤣 thank you Eddie and the Newcastle players for making these clowns eat their words..!!
Eddie Howe is a better football manager than these 4 lads put together
Not hard to be better than these monkeys
This ages well!! Demonstrates that none of these "experts" have a clue
Clueless pundits, 87% of fans polled approve of Howe.
Would take him at United to be fair
@@tourettesonfiree He's going to United mate ⚫⚪⚫⚪
@@sheslying7117 uyuyyyyy 🖤🤍
Think your math is a little fuzzy.....did you vote for George W Bush? I would argue it's closer to 100%.
@@alexanderhyams This was a year ago, and why would I vote for Bush when I'm from Newcastle?
I don't think they have a clue at Sky Sports...
This aged terribly well. It just proves what all of us knew. Pundits: know absolutely nothing.
Hilarious watching this now. People saying Eddie wasn't up to the job and now he's proved himself they are saying his success is all down to money 🙄. People get paid to talk utter nonsense
When you say "no disrespect to...." 4 or 5 times, odds are, your being disrepectful....
Just love these comments from the pundits. Absolutele professionals, experts about the game, very well paid for their biting insight and judgement and about as wrong as they possibly could be.
This clip ranks up there with Hansen's 'never win anything with kids' comment.
Absolute fools, if you have to watch these talking heads then just remember it's purely for entertainment and not for a balanced and considered judgement.
As a Newcastle fan, I missed out on 28/1 on the toon ending up in the top 10 when they were rock bottom. Unfortunately I only got 20/1 but it looks like my bet is coming home HTL.
I'm looking forward to reading the comments from 5 months ago and laughing at them. Wonder if any of the naysayers will hold their hands up and admit they got it badly wrong 😂
Not a NUFC fan but it's funny how much they're trying to take shots at this club from the media point because the club is not owned by an American or a Brit.
you think they're motivated by such a trivial thing? they're taking shots at a farcical situation bro, richest club in the world and they can't even get a manager sorted, total joke, look at how Chelsea sack a manager, that's how a big club works, they sack, seal a replacement swiftly and then win more.
@@ScholarOfBabylon It's probably easier to get an elite level manager when you're champions of europe and not scrapping for survival but ok
@@trapper69420 How do you explain the 10 plus other times then bro? you don't, because I'm right.
@@ScholarOfBabylon How many times have chelsea finished outside the top 6 in the last 20 years? Once. While Newcastle have been relegated twice and haven't finished in the top half of the table since 2012. But sure bro you're right, newcastle can sign anyone they want.
@@trapper69420 When did i say "elite" or "anyone" these are all things you said, I quite clearly said that they cant even sort a manager out and that Chelsea sack and replace managers with skill and results, all facts. You've added a whole other tangent here which literally only exists in your own head.
Not sure how they can write off a guy who hasn’t managed in year. Do they think he’s been at home twiddling his thumbs for the last year? Perhaps he’s been improving himself. He could do well, he could do badly. You don’t know until he tries. All I hear from Newcastle fans is that they want to survive first, then start on a road back to a more expansive style of play.
If there was a pundit 5 month's or so ago who predicted Newcastle's astonishing resurgence under Howe that pundit should be demanding a massive pay rise.
Watching this safe with one game to go 🤣🤣
I'm sorry but you don't speak for any of us, we would 100% get behind Howe, is it underwhelming considering the finical backing? no, but where realistic enough to get anyone that isn't Bruce fml. But I agree on one thing and it's that they should of had a manager lined up straight away, I understand it's transition period but we need to have a manager in ASAP.
Bruce was a pure Newcastle fan and you turned on him. You Newcastle fans are fickle, if Eddie Howe loses 3 in a row you’ll start booing and asking for a new manager.
Bruce was useless. Utter shite. Fickle? 14 years of being run into the ground. Fickle? Wtf.
Funny that only Eddie Howe wants to join anti human rights FC.
Most deluded fanbase on the planet
@@jameslaude3654 Don't make me laugh, his love is for his wallet and Man utd not nufc.
Let’s get a few things straight following some of the comments bandied around in this piece:
1) Newcastle fans expect nothing but an awful remainder of the season and likely relegation
2) Newcastle fans do not realistically think they’re gonna be signing Mbappe
3) Most Newcastle fans would be more than happy with Eddie Howe
We know exactly who and where we are. We were told by the new owners from the beginning that this was a process and we understand that. We won’t be spending a Billion on player before the start of the 22/23 season, nor do we expect it
And finally, we just happy we’ve had the windows cleaned at SJP and a new training pitch laid at the training ground, the process has started and we’ve a long way to go
Well said mate!!!
“Newcastle fans do not realistically think they’re gonna be signing Mbappe.”
FRONT page of the Journal Tuesday gone - “we’ve missed out on Conte!”
Yeah, you’re being really realistic mate.
@@Soccarena You are really comparing the thoughts of Newcastle fans to a column on a Newspaper lol
@@premierleaguegematria468 The same newspapers that chased Steve Bruce out? Yes. And don’t forget, what you’ve stated is just your opinion. You can’t speak for an entire fan base either.
@@Soccarena Bruce left because he was going a bad job, not because a newspaper chased him out
The irony of that panel accusing others of not having a clue!
Why is there no accountability for these people? Unless I missed it, I haven't seen anyone challenge any of them on what they said here. No wonder they put so little thought into their comments, because nobody ever puts them in a position where they have to admit their mistakes.
I wish they were on talksport - I'd phone up and give them a grilling.
There was no valid point made by either of the 4 pundits. How are these guys the best that Sky Sports can muster?
I absolutely love coming back and listening to this absolute drivel, a little bit of sense spoken, and mainly from Jeff. But overall they were all so so wrong.
Go buy a manager for 30m. Hope these guys know people have choices right. 🙄. You can pay 100m but if they don't want to come nothing you can do about it.
I think they’re referring to paying Everton to let Benitez go. Benitez managed Newcastle once before wouldn’t be surprised if he went back in future too
This didn't age well for these pundits🤣🤣🤣Please get these back on for a recap!
This has aged well 😃
This aged well
Not impressed with the punditry and this is insulting Eddie Howe who did such a great job at Bournemouth. If he does go to Newcastle it will certainly be a big test for him and we’ll see just how good he is.
🤔They're saying he needs "thick skin to manage up there" but those pundits are the only ones showing absolute disrespect and insulting him?! 🤦🏻♂️ 😂 You couldn't make it up!
This aged well 😂
Cringing at this. The fans will be behind Eddie Howe and shut up about our high expectations that you lot make up.
Can you hear the Saudis sing
@@woodycfc6084 definitely can’t hear any Chelsea fans singing today
This has aged well 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is Paul Merson still on the drink or something??? He talks utter arse gravy!!!
Mike Ashley turned this club into a total mess.
Any new owners would find it difficult to temp anybody to the club after Ashley’s lack of investment and sheer neglect of the club
Great insight Paul, we’re 6th at the moment
Eddie named manager of the month, Newcastle win 3 nil at Leicester for 2nd place in the PL. Almiron, Schar, and Joelinton are playing the best of their careers. All of which makes this hilarious viewing.
It's wild how Newcastle fans, for YEARS, have said "We don't expect to win anything, we expect a team that tries" and these idiots can keep sitting here saying they expect world class players and to "be in positions in the table that they're not"
The players aren’t trying that’s why we ain’t happy
@@toonultra6you’ll never be happy. Just be grateful you aren’t like Bolton or charlton
I am happy, happy that Ashley is gone. We will rebuild. Im just realistic and know it won’t be done over night or over 1 season. Will take 3 years to get to top 6 position. Your trying to pick something you can’t win lol
@@toonultra6 I was fairly certain I would live my entire life without seeing Newcastle ever win a single thing. The media is really trying to act like we're demanding to win the Champions League
@@ChristopherTucker138 won’t be a Geordie that thinks other wise mate

"eieieio up the premier league we go, when we get to Europe this is what we’ll sing…..we are Geordies Super Geordies Eddie is our King"
From the future, I’ve got GREAT NEWS 😊
Just another Newcastle fan happy with Eddie Howe at the helm.
Fast forward 5 months and this clip is laughable. "I don't know if they have a clue". Well one thing is for sure, this bunch certainly don't.
The definition of irony is Paul Merson saying someone doesn’t have a clue….🤣🤣🤣
Love the fact that Eddie Howe managed to fcuk up the season for Merson’s beloved Arsenal. 👍🏼😎
Eddie Howe is a great signing, even if they are relegated he’s a long term plan, he’ll build the foundations for Newcastle over the next 2/3 years, get them mid table then push on from there
He did it with Bournemouth so I think that would be a great signing for you lot
Well, that plan didn't work!
I can already see the media agenda towards Newcastle.
This aged well...
Merse, give up. Its painful to watch.
Paul Merson...Classic...
Classic TURD ?
Eddie Howe is a perfect manager. Senseless points.
Paul Mersin once again proving it’s actually him that has no clue.
these pundits all talk! when you send them to manage a team they get the sack within a month😂
These are the worse ever pundits
Wether Eddie Howe was 1st choice or not I doubt anyone else would have got the number of points he has. I don't just mean out of the managers we were linked with either. Seriously even if Klopp, Conte or Guardiola had come in there is no way they'd have taken that team and got them upto 2nd in the form table for 2022.
5 months later!! 🤣😂🤣 Newcastle sit in 9th place on 43 points. Oh Dear panel, what a bunch of Jeremy Hunts you are!!
This has aged well! Paul Merson clearly doesn't have a clue! Why do Sky keep dragging these dinosaurs out
For anyone from the future, 18 months later we are in the Champions league. Eddie Howe did brilliantly; Graham Jones is still working at the club in Eddie's team. All those players who have been said to be all over the place, Big Joelinton, Miggi Almiron, Murphy, Sean Longstaff, Krafth, St. Maxi, Wilson, all did brilliantly. We escaped relegation and finished the first season in 11th. We did not buy Messi or any of those primadonnas. It was actually, Big Dan Burn (a Geordie from Brighton), Chris Wood, Tripps, Matt Targett from Villa, and Bruno from Lyon. Next season added Alex Isak and Sven Botman and Nick Pope all decent players who did amazingly well for us. What a time to be a toon fan. Eddie is still here but the leader of the above panel left his job. It became too much for him I guess.
Where to start with this rebuttal…We absolutely welcome Howe’s appointment, he is exactly the manager we need right now. This season and next is all about consolidation in the PL and avoiding relegation, before we even think about top 10. We expect players to be brought in that can shore up the defence and improve the midfield, absolutely not the elite stars of football. The media is peddling that line, not the fans or the club. The media, equally have linked us with every manager under the sun, not the fans or the club. Choice came down to two Emery and Howe, Emery didn’t come off and was a mess as there are too many leaks to the press. These pundits are putting words and actions in our mouths which are completely contrary to fact.
How can you listen to anyone over the age of 40 with blonde highlights
its amazing how with the benefit of hindsight we can see that these so called 'expert' pundits are actually totally clueless
Clint is the only one speaking any sense out of those muppets.
Bar Clinton Morris and Jeff stelling the rest chat utter shite! As a Newcastle fan, Eddie Howe is a good appointment for where we are and if he keeps us up and build on a mid table finish next season then great. We aren’t expecting Neymar or any of these world class players but I think we can still get a good level of player come January to improve on what we got.
I need subtitles with Clinton Morrison Innit the guy is a prat
Today were in 9th and doing great 👍 thanks for your concern Eddie turned out to be great team are playing great we have liverpool next and I expect us to win 2_1
Today we're in 3rd, likely to be playing UCL next season 😎 Glad these morons, i mean "pundits" were wrong haha
This didn’t age well… 👀
😂😂😂😂😂😭 now we have clue? 11th from 19
I just watch the video and laughing
Eddie Howe will prove these pundits wrong very soon! Cynical punditiry!
This has aged spectacularly 😂😂😂
Lol sorry 1 year on Eddie howe is killing it Newcastle in 3rd these guys are blowing hate Newcastle are a huge team accept it were here to stay
Eddie if he waited would've got Everton job but newcastle has better structure
When Eddie was doing well at Bournemouth these pundits were touting him as the next big English manager.
Do these guys just wing it and talk about something without doing any research? If you are going to be uptight and judgmental, at least be factually accurate. The details surrounding the takeover timeline and Eddie Howe's emergence as a candidate are covered quite thoroughly in the press. Also, if you are going to dye your hair, you really need to commit.
Comedy gold watching this back now 😂😂
24 April, in 9th with 43 points... nope not a clue ... 4 games to go and safe..,yip Eddie Howe .., fans are delighted with Eddie
Stop slagging off Howe he took Bournemouth as far as he could reached the ceiling I would have him at spurs before nuno. People talked about him managing England before he wont waste the money.
Thankfully we dont care about Mersons opinions. Im not even gonna watch this.
So funny rewatching these clowns. They all owe Eddie, the fans, the players and the owners a huge apology
@sky sports news PLease solve your audio issue as its 10 times lower then the normal volume and other channels. it always have to be so low ...
Eddie Howe was my first choice. Bournemouth were nothing before him and they had no right to get to the Premier league. They're in the championship now which is as far as they probably should've gone, I'm sure all their fans are greatful for what he did. I'd love for EH to rebuild the foundations of our club even if it temporarily costs us our Premier league spot, then hopefully it'll kick-start a new era of competitiveness in all competitions at the highest level.
Can we have all these clowns back on for an apology now
Eddie Howe took AFC Bournmouth from -17 pts Post administration in league 2 into Premier League in 6 seasons and kept them there for 5 seasons. If that happened in Spain or Italy a big 6 prem club would have snapped his arm off.
My oh my how insightful Merse.
This didn’t age well !!! Lol .. what a useless panel
Sitting pretty in the league now lee Hendry.
How i love Re-watching this now. ⚫️⚪️
