F**king hell, what a load of bollocks! Eddie Howe's been carted off to hospital, so he won't be managing Newcastle when they take on Manchester United this Sunday. What a way to kick off the weekend, eh?
Howe's health takes a turn for the worse
The Magpies gaffer's been feeling proper rough lately, missing training and all that jazz. Now the club's confirmed he's been admitted to hospital for some tests. He's conscious and chatting with his family, but still, it's a right kick in the teeth for the Toon Army.
Newcastle's top brass step up
With Howe out of action, it's up to Jason Tindall and Graeme Jones to lead the lads against the Red Devils. Talk about being thrown in at the deep end! They've got their work cut out for them, that's for sure.
Club's well wishes for Howe
The club's released a statement, sending their best wishes to Howe for a speedy recovery. Let's hope he's back on his feet soon, giving it large on the touchline. The beautiful game just isn't the same without him.
So, there you have it. Newcastle's boss is out of commission, and the team's got to pull together and give it their all against Man Utd. It ain't gonna be easy, but that's footy for you. Always full of surprises, innit?
