Goodbye old friendI had a fault on my radio this morning, I thought I heard it say that Eddie Howe was leaving Newcastle United. I sat and gave my head a wobble, then realised that what I thought I’d heard, had indeed been said. The departure of Eddie Howe is a far bigger blow than any of these to the club. It’s not a secret what Eddie Howe had to endure behind the scenes, where key senior staff positions weren’t filled for a long time and this putting even more pressure on the manager. Eddie Howe, thanks for giving us hopes and dreams like King Kev did back in the day, no matter where you go now, part of you will always be a Geordie.
