Image source, Getty ImagesEddie Howe is feeling the heat a little bit team and the team was booed off at the weekend. I would be surprised if he was under pressure for his job because this is a guy who has done a great job at Newcastle.
He has taken them into the Champions League twice, and they have won their first domestic trophy in 70 years. He said yesterday he would walk away if he didn't feel he was the right man for the job. They're very emotional fans, one city club, the toon army. It would be a big surprise if they ever turned on Howe.
Howe has high standards himself, and he wants to maintain them. They have lost their last three games and gone out of the League Cup to Man City, the trophy they won so memorably last season.
