Re: Eddie Howe in Newcastle talks

This smacks of desperation to me; their prime player target not interested and the their prime managerial target not interested either. Perhaps Newcastle is now a toxic brand and no one wants to be associated with it. I know money talks but maybe tainted money doesn’t speak loud enough.

I agree with the OP. I’m glad we are in the Prem for the money but, for me, VAR is killing the game. I much prefer watching the Championship refs making mistakes in real time, than some giffer at Shockley Park eviscerating the game in hindsight. Keep goal line technology but bin the rest.
