A number of Newcastle United fans have given their thoughts on the Sky Sports report claiming Eddie Howe is set for the Magpies manager’s job.

The outlet claims the 43-year-old has agreed in principle a deal to become the new Newcastle manager on a two-and-a-half-year contract.

Howe reportedly held additional talks with the St James’ Park hierarchy this week regarding their vacant managerial role.

The positive talks discussed the finer details of Howe’s plans for the club and the make-up of his backroom team, added the report.

Newcastle’s owners have reportedly been impressed with the way Howe presented his views on the club, and his level of detail and research.

And while the former Bournemouth boss isn’t likely to be in the dugout in time for the Brighton game, both sides reportedly want the appointment completed by Saturday.

So, it looks as though the club’s manager search has come to an end, if these reports are true.
