Will Howe be Newcastle United’s new manager?
Without wanting to go down the Unai Emery route, it’s pretty safe to say that former Bournemouth boss Howe is pretty certain to the new boss at St James’ Park.
It’s unlikely to be two false dawns in a week for United.

It is not known how much of a contribution, if any, Howe will have at the Amex Stadium.
The manager is expected to be in attendance at the game itself, but at this stage, especially with no deal announced, it appears as if his role will be limited to a watching brief.
Graeme Jones, who will be retained as part of the new coaching setup, will likely continue in his role as interim manager.
Reports elsewhere suggest Howe will bring three members of staff to United, as well as hang on to Jones.
That trio have been named as Jason Tindall, Stephen Purches and Simon Weatherstone.
