Eddie Howe has been told he will be given the boot by Newcastle in the not too distant future, regardless of whether he can guide the club to Carabao Cup glory this weekend.
Simon Jordan has claimed Eddie Howe isn't Newcastle United's long-term managerial choice, despite the possibility of him ending the club's domestic trophy drought on Sunday.
according to Jordan, despite Howe's achievements, he is merely holding the fort and the Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which backs Newcastle, will ultimately choose to replace him, reports the Mirror.
Just prior to the crucial Wembley clash for Newcastle, the talkSPORT commentator remarked: "I've always said, and I don't make any apologies for this, I said this to him when I spoke to him, is that I've always felt [Howe] is the gatekeeper."
"They will take the League Cup in the meantime because it will mean so much to the fans. My perception was that Eddie might be very valuable and deservingly rewarded for achieving something at Newcastle, which is getting a good side, a team that is really competitive in the Premier League and who people actually like to watch."
"But is he going to win something for Newcastle? Maybe he will win the League Cup on the weekend but I don't see Newcastle [winning trophies] not because of Howe but because of the restrictions put upon their ability to spend...
"That might well mean that Eddie becomes a casualty in 18 months, knocking on the door of the FA's building to take over from Thomas Tuchel."
