Is the magic finally wearing off for Eddie Howe at St James' Park? Following a devastating week that saw Newcastle United crashed out of the Champions League by Barcelona and beaten twice in one season by local rivals Sunderland, we ask the tough questions about the Magpies' sudden slump. With 22 points dropped from winning positions and a squad that looks "stale," is it time for a change in the dugout, or is PSR to blame for a "shambolic" summer of recruitment? In this episode, Angelina Kelly is joined by social host Olly Clink and Newcastle content creator Jack Cunningham to dissect the fallout from the Tyne-Wear derby. They debate whether Howe’s loyalty to the "old guard" is hindering progress and discuss sensational claims that Cesc Fabregas could be the man to bring modern, technical football to Tyneside. Plus, the team reacts to the CEO David Hopkinson's 2030 Premier League title target—is it ambitious planning or just nonsense?
