DON'T FALL FOR HOWE HYPE

YOU CAN see it coming a mile off.

A scenario as predictable as Rory McIlroy making hard work of closing out golf tournaments, or Real Madrid winning the Champions League.

In 16 months, England will be looking for a new manager again. Thomas Tuchel will have come and gone in a flash, having failed his job description of winning England the World Cup.

And top of the FA's wanted list will be Eddie Howe.

If Howe wasn't on the FA's radar when it came to replacing Gareth Southgate, then he certainly is now. And he appears to tick all the right boxes.

He's English, ambitious, cool under pressure, courteous and now a winner. Leading Newcastle United to their first trophy in 56 years means he's the man with the Midas touch.

He can tiptoe across the Tyne without having to use the famous bridge.
