Does Howe 'need to stay' or do fans need to 'accept change'?

We asked for your views on Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe being linked with the newly vacant England manager role.

Here are some of your thoughts:

Ward: Eddie needs to stay and even he has said as much. He has only just started a multi-year project at Newcastle and he needs to be there to reap the rewards of laying some strong foundations. When a parallel situation occurred with Dan Ashworth's premature departure, he made the same point. So I fully expect him to stick to his principles and stay.

Helen: I will be absolutely gutted if Eddie becomes England boss, even though I think he would be brilliant. He would bring some attacking flair to the team, but he has unfinished business at Newcastle. I hope he will think of the England job as something he would consider in the future but not just yet.

Chris: There will always be change in football and managers are the one constant in that world of change. They are forever moving on. If we lose Eddie, I am confident our club will find a very suitable and able replacement. We must have belief in our board and hope they are ready to act if necessary.

Sandra: Although I think Howe would be good for England, I don't want him to leave Newcastle as I could see the tremendous improvement in the club over the past two years. We could, with investment and the right players, win the Premier League (as long as he doesn't sell Gordon, Guimaraes, Schar, Pope, Trippier and Isak). He is the best manager we have ever had.

Jack: While he is an amazing manager, his style is not suited to the national set-up. He likes to develop players on the training pitch and he won't have enough time to be able to establish his style of player, which he has become synonymous for, in the England squad.

Tom: He has made a great impact in Newcastle signings and he could leave with his head held high. But it would be a shame to see him go before solidifying the squad and before any knockout Champions League football is played. On the other hand, I would welcome another English manager to leave his mark on the national side.

Paul: I think Eddie would be perfect for the England job. His job at Newcastle is going to become increasingly frustrating because of the nonsense of FFP. He will not be able to build a squad to satisfy his and the club's ambition of becoming one of top clubs in world football. If the FA come knocking, I think Eddie should accept the offer and take the job.
