Yesterday, it was Unai Emery. Now, Newcastle could reportedly go after Eddie Howe – but Don Hutchison has shared concerns on Twitter.

Emery, 50, was being strongly linked with a move to Newcastle this week. that the Spaniard was close to an appointment.

However, reports from Spain and Guillem Balague overnight said that Emery would reject Newcastle. He is unconvinced by the project thus far.

Nothing has been confirmed, but the ex-Arsenal gaffer’s arrival at Newcastle is certainly deemed less likely. Howe’s name has risen.

that if a deal for Emery does fall through, then the new owners will go after Howe. Hutchison had his say on Twitter.

The Newcastle-supporting pundit responded to Athletic reporter Oliver Kay on Howe – stating he is concerned how many goals Bournemouth conceded.

Hutchison on Howe: How does he compare to Emery, at Newcastle?

Newcastle sit in the relegation zone and the reality is, that the Toon need a pragmatic manager with a good counter-attacking system to save them.

Emery, on paper, is perfect. His defensive, yet counter-attacking approach would have been ideal. Howe is different, focusing more on attack.

He gives freedom to his attackers. What many remember is Howe took Bournemouth down, conceding huge amounts of goals at The Vitality.

But what many forget is Howe took Bournemouth from the depths of The Football League to being an established Premier League side.

Yes, Newcastle would concede goals, but they would score more, too. Surely, that is what fans have been crying out for – more exciting football?
