Former Bournemouth midfielder Jack Wilshere supports Eddie Howe's appointment at Newcastle United.
Howe saw Newcastle draw at Brighton on Saturday.
"I worked with him at a club that I see now are quite similar to Newcastle – not in terms of the size of the club, but in terms of the players," Wilshere told talkSPORT.
"Newcastle have got a few ex-Bournemouth players and that is what Eddie does, he gets the best out of those types of players, gets them going and he gets the fans on side. He's a great manager.
"I think he deserves a chance. If he goes in and does really well, in a few years they could be pushing the top six, which I think he can do.
"When I played under him at Bournemouth we arguably had a worse squad and we finished ninth, so he can definitely do that.
"It's down to him when he gets that chance to take them to the next level."
