Newcastle fans want Eddie Howe out after ’embarrassing’ twist

Thu 18 July 2024 9:47, UK

Newcastle United fans have been left raging at Eddie Howe after reports claimed he now wants to keep Callum Wilson at the club this summer.

Howe has previously remained loyal to his players, but it has been suggested that he must be more ruthless in the transfer market to help the club move forward.

The 32-year-old featured 26 times last season, scoring ten goals, but his injuries were a constant source of frustration as he missed a total of 28 games.

Given Wilson’s age and consistent struggles with injuries, fans have suggested this may be their final opportunity to cash in on his signature.

Howe is in favour of keeping the striker at St James’ Park for another year despite his issues, which fans believe could lead to further struggles next season.

This came after Football Insider revealed that there is little interest in signing the striker this summer despite initially exploring talks of an exit.

Fans have labelled the decision “embarrassing” and “unbelievable”, calling for the club to cash in on Wilson.

Many have gone as far as to suggest Howe could lose his position as manager based on his questionable decisions in the transfer market.

Howe should be leaving before Wilson, Howe must understand we are in the next level of project, We are now fighting for CL and trophies, this means we need new player, young, fast, and fit for the whole season

It might not be popular but Howe’s reported fight to keep Almiron and Wilson at #nufc is a massive reason why him getting poached by England maybe wouldn’t be the worst thing for the club in the long run.

You see this is, and has been, Howe's Achilles heel. We persevered too long with both Dummett and Ritchie in the past – unbelievable that he's going down the same path with both Almiron and Wilson. Will he ever change, appears not. Maybe, Paul Mitchell might show his authority?

This is one of the reasons why I want Howe to leave for England

Just doesn't have any bollocks and we would end up with an elite coach
and some cash to boot

I've said this for a while now. Eddie's sentimental side will be his downfall. You have to be ruthless if you want to reach the very top.

Players like Wilson and Miggy should be getting moved on and replaced with better signings that significantly improves the squad.

If Eddie Howe is pushing to keep Callum Wilson, that is an error in judgement clouded by fondness for him. His fitness record gets ever worse. We need someone available more than half a season (at best). Sell. Free wages up. Bring a younger, fitter, more reliable player in #NUFC https://t.co/MU7qoon2Wr
