Newcastle United, battling the big hitters, having a sense of perspective…I have always felt that time can give you a great chance for perspective and proportion.
Looking back to this time last year, the transformation is astonishing and in double quick time. From bottom of the league and worrying about how long the new owners project will take to get started if relegation was to happen, to being disappointed by drawing at home while cementing our standing in a European competition place., Liverpool and Chelsea. More perspective if it were needed.
The job Eddie Howe has done should rightly see him crowned Manager of the Year. If it were a calendar year it would be no contest. And he’s done it with caveats too. Once upon a time, losing three big players would be curtains, excuses trotted out and backs to the wall football deployed in a bid to try and stay above water. Not this time.
