Having finished the season in right royal fashion this is decision time at Newcastle United. Now is when the club's immediate future will be shaped and that requires a real toughness.
Who to bring in and who to let go. Any dithering and United will suffer.
Not that I believe for one moment that Eddie Howe will dither. However one of his toughest decisions in my opinion is what to do about Allan Saint-Maximin, the darling of a lot of fans.
