Since Gareth Southgate resigned from England's managerial role, a prominent candidate to replace him for the role has been Newcastle boss Eddie Howe. While there wasn't an official attempt made by the Football Association for the Magpies boss, and U21 manager Lee Carsley stepped in as the interim lead, speculations had halted for Howe's links with the national role. However, after the Three Lions' shocking defeat against Greece, the rumors have become serious again.

While Carsley had seemed perfectly suitable for the role, carrying the side to two consecutive wins against Ireland and Finland, England's recent upset loss has raised questions over the manager's reliability. Not only the loss has been rather thought-provoking, but the poor decisions made by Carsley that influenced the result have been rather worrying.

On the other hand, Magpies manager Eddie Howe has been one of the most sought-after candidates for FA for England's managerial role. However, given the state Newcastle currently finds themselves in, having made significant progress but still far away from their final goal, the Magpies can't afford to have Howe let go from St. James. Thus, not only does it create a difficult situation for Magpies club fans but rather a dilemmatic one for Howe to choose where he sees his future.

For the same, recent reports from the Daily Mail do provide some insights on what the manager might prefer, but sadly, his interest isn't in clear favor of Newcastle United. As Eddie Howe previously remarked that coaching England would be a significant achievement in his managerial career, reports suggest that the manager is open to leading the coveted role. However, there's something for Magpies fans as well, as he doesn't feel necessitated to leave the club being much happier here.

In this scenario, much depends on Lee Carsley's performance in the upcoming game against Finland, which can be decisive for Newcastle's future. While the Magpies club, having recorded significant progress under Eddie Howe, would hope to have him continue at the club, significant chances are that he wouldn't be able to deny a national call-up from the FA.
