Eddie Howe has already secured the best season of his managerial career regardless of what happens in Newcastle United's last three games of the Premier League campaign.
A guaranteed top six finish, a place in Europe and an all round success story is already in the bag for Howe and his backroom team. Some might say it's tough at the top in football, but Howe knows fine well it can arguably be tougher at the bottom.
For when Howe took over at AFC Bournemouth as a young manager his club were threatened by relegation to the Conference. The then League Two side had bailiffs knocking on the door and the Toon boss even had to fork out of his own pocket to buy training equipment.
