Eddie Howe has the skills and attributes of some of the greatest managers to have graced the game - and won’t be afraid to make the ‘tough decisions’ needed at Newcastle United, according to Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler.
The 76-year-old spoke exclusively to Chronicle Live about his memories of Newcastle United’s five-nil thumping of Man United back in 1996, and also shared his thoughts on the modern-day Magpies. Tyler has led Sky Sports’ coverage of the Premier League since the top flight’s formation in 1992 but his career spans back to the 70s - and so he knows a thing or two about top managers.
Speaking about Howe, who replaced Steve Bruce as Toon manager shortly after the October takeover of the club, Tyler praised him not only for his talents as a coach but also for holding out for the right job to return to after leaving Bournemouth in 2020.
