I think Eddie Howe is excusable to keep his position as the manager, because Newcastle was having a biggest injuries issue that hindered them to maintain their performance throughout the season. It's fair to not blame the manager for the underperformances compared to the season before. I think it's good for football when a rich team don't solely depend on money to improve their team.
I think it was unlucky for Newcastle to lose against Manchester United in that final, because they had to play the game with Loris Karius as the goalkeeper due to the suspension of their first-choice goalkeeper and the ineligible of the second-choice goalkeeper as he was loanee from Manchester United. Finishing outside of the top four shouldn't be a failure for Newcastle this season with the circumstance of injuries, the ban on Tonali also took impact on the balance in midfield.
These are all excuses, what's the difference between Erik Ten Hag and Eddie Howe then? Erik Ten Hag also played beautiful football in his first season for Manchester United but was able to win two trophies in his first two seasons and playing three finals. What more do you want from a coach like this, the foundation is clear but if he js backed then he will do well further.
Newcastle and Manchester United had bad seasons, faced Injuries and finished out of top four but they're only tackling Erik Ten Hag. The like of Jamie Carragher, Micheal Owen and Mike Phelan who open them stupid mouths to talk shiit bothers me, is it that they're doing this out of hate or what.
Manchester United also didn't use a good center back in that game. The talks of Karius are crap, I don't want to hear that anymore.. it's a failure for Eddie Howe.
The media has just been silent because he is a British man, they have always been sentimental in times like this completely.
