Outspoken talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan knows Eddie Howe, has enjoyed a lengthy interview with the Newcastle United boss and seen the rapid success at St James' Park in recent years. Yet he still holds doubts over whether the current St James' Park chief will be around long into the future.

Howe was at the helm when Newcatle reached the Carabao Cup final back in 2023, when they were beaten 2-0 by Erik ten Hag's Manchester United. Last year, Liverpool won the trophy after Virgil van Dijk's extra-time goal sealed a 1-0 win over Chelsea. It turned out to be Jurgen Klopp's last trophy as Reds boss.

Eddie Howe has been told he will be given the boot by Newcastle in the not too distant future, regardless of whether he can guide the club to Carabao Cup glory this weekend
