Eddie Howe’s current circumstances at Newcastle cannot be accurately described as a Clash, but a new dynamic has emerged at St James’ Park. Remain in Newcastle and continue to expand on the gains of the past 2.5 years? Or take advantage of a growing reputation and apply for the England position? When Howe revealed that he was one of the favorites to succeed Gareth Southgate, it gave hope to all sides of the debate. Howe ought to be the front-runner for the England position since he is ideal for it. In contrast to Southgate’s caution, he provided a tactically sound but aggressive front-runner.
However, he also carries with him Southgate’s advantages—a contemporary training environment, solid player relationships, diplomacy, and the experience required for the Football Association’s top position. He claims he doesn’t have “a burning desire” or a professionally designed course that includes England. Howe has not ruled out taking the England position. However, none of them have claimed that everything at Newcastle is working perfectly. Because of his connection to England, Howe possesses strength and leverage. On Friday, he demonstrated this by informing Newcastle that he must be kept “happy.”
